Ben & Florentine

5.0

My wife & I just moved to the Ville de Saint-Laurent part of Montreal the beginning of October. Our first visit to a local area restaurant was the Ben & Florentine .. they have an extensive menu that covers both small & large breakfast, lunch & early supper offerings. The restaurant is a good size & wadnt overly noisy. Our food was excellent, eggs cooked perfectly with delicious hash brown potatoes. Our server was attentive, polite & quite comical. We enjoyed our visit & look forward to a return very soon.

Good breakfast spot. I got the classic breakfast which is very good value for money. 13$ gets you 2 eggs, toast, potatoes, & a choice of meat (& coffee). Eggs were cooked perfectly, so was the bacon. Service was good, though a small mistake in the order was made. Restaurant was clean & comfortable, though the facilities were a little dirty. All in all, pretty good experience.

Called to order one crepe with fruit, one plate with eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, & a smoothie. Total came to $76 for one person.

That's ridiculous. Not blaming the staff, but the pricing is out of control.

Went down the street to cafe bouroulte & got near the same thing for two people under $45 total. Never again. & it was better too.

We were seated quickly & offered coffee & water. However, when our meals arrived, there was a hair in one of the dishes. The waitress offered to replace it, but the potatoes were also undercooked, with some pieces still raw. I ordered a three-egg vegetarian omelette & an Old-Fashioned Ham & Cheddar crepe. The only items I enjoyed were the fresh fruit & the Cheddar crepe. Overall, the food was MID.

I've eaten here to many times to count. But it ends now. Eggs were sour. Croton was dried out & tasted like everything else in the fridge. I used to love coming here for breakfast. But no more. Truly a disgusting meal. Wasn't even busy.

I have visited many restaurants & this is truly one of the finest at this level. The Eggs Benedict were superb & the service from Jennie-Marie was even better. I will definitely be back again.

My eggs florentine were overcooked (not that I like it super runny...) & every element was barely warm. The cheese was not melted at all. I was waiting for the waiter to swing by so I could let him know & give him a chance to correct it. He didn't come back to the table until we had both finished eating.

My husband ordered extra cheese, sausages & toast & all of those items were overpriced.

So the food was not bad per se, but the waiter failed on our visit.
