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.
I had such a great experience at Ben & Florentine under the new administration! You can really feel the positive changes, everything from the warm atmosphere to the quality of the food has leveled up.
The breakfast was fresh, delicious, & came out quickly. The menu has something for everyone, & the portions are generous without being over the top.
Shoutout to Tina for her amazing service! Super friendly, attentive, & made us feel right at home.
Highly recommend stopping by if you haven't been in a while, it's definitely worth it!
Recently enjoyed a meal at Ben & Florentine on Thimens. The service was quick & friendly & the food was delicious. The new menu has nice options. Especially enjoyed the new specials featuring coconut sorbet!

Been a few times but decided to leave a review today because they changed management & the new owner; a blond tall lady was so welcoming to us. We had the veggie omelette & banana crepes which were both good! Will be back for sure.
On a busy Sunday we were celebrating a friend's birthday & served by the lovely Tina. She has amazing energy & made our experience feel like one in a million. Thank you so much! We will be back :)
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.
Went there with a group of friends. We were 12 people in total. We had no reservations yet they were able to accommodate us In under 10 minutes!
Super friendly staff. The waitress was extremely funny & welcoming! Food was delicious! GREAT portions & surprisingly quick Considering we were a group of 12! Coffee top up was on point. Will definitely be back!
