Review Summary

Ben Florentine is described as a dependable breakfast spot with generous portions and a wide menu that covers classics and new options, with eggs cooked to order, well prepared potatoes, and a choice of meats or vegetarian plates, and fast, attentive service in many visits; the atmosphere is generally friendly, clean and welcoming, though some visits note a noisier room and occasional temperature issues in the dining area. Since a recent ownership change, several reviews mention slower service and uneven food quality, with reports of dishes arriving cold, missed items, and constraints like no rye bread or coffee refills; a few customers also mention higher prices or smaller portions on some items. Despite these inconsistencies, many diners report positive experiences, friendly staff, quick service during busy mornings, and a willingness to return, citing fresh flavors and good value for money.

Since it's recent change in ownership there has been a marked reduction in service & overall food quality.
Came in for lunch Friday October 3rd & ordered a western omelet. It took forever to receive my order & when it arrived at the table it was cold.
I always order a large fresh orange juice but was told the machine has been broken for a month. I always order rye toast but was told that although rye toast is on the menu that they haven't received any rye bread with their daily bread order.
I had to order my drink 3 times before the waiter remembered to bring it I don't blame him as he was alone serving a rather full restaurant.
Looks like the New owner is cutting costs .. Well the new owner just lost a regular customer who had litterally spent a few thousand dollars over the last year or so..
Good-bye Ben & Florintine time to give my business to PItino's on Henri-Bourassa

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.

We waited an hour before someone took our order. The owner was yelling at the staff everyone heard ,very degrading. It took a customer to tell him to stop & handle all the customers waiting. The toast was slobbered with butter we told the waitress nothing got handled. Terrible experience

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.
