Wanted to treat myself to breakfast. Great service, decent selection & the food was good. It was delicious & the server was great. One minor thing would be the cleanliness of the bathroom but beyond that, incredible.

Nous avons été 2 fois pendant notre séjour à Montréal prendre le petit déj ici & à chaque fois nous avons été ravis.
Les assiettes sont très copieuses nous en prenions 3 pour 4.
Je conseille l'effiloche de jambon qui est excellent.
Il y a du bon café & du jus d'orange pressé ce qui est un plus.
Le service était très sympathique le seul bémol est qu'il y a beaucoup de monde & que du coup on attend parfois un peu avant la prise de commande & d'être servi mais nous étions en vacances donc pas un gros problème.

Good in both languages! Portions were large, & with a regional flair. I enjoyed the maple syrup skillet. It was loaded, & more than enough for my large appetite!

Delicious! I had the avocado Eggs Benedict, & it was amazing! the sauce was very tasty, & I also loved the avocado muffin. The potatoes were delicious too, then for something sweet, I had the chocolate banana crepes, & it was so good.. The place gets a little crowded, & the food can take a while to arrive, but it is totally understandable & definitely worth the wait. I would come back.

Friendly staff, & very accommodating. Food was absolutely delicious! We had a party of 5 & were seated very quickly. I ordered the Apple Crepes combo, & ate every bit of it. People in my party ordered the crispy French toast with chocolate, & the pancakes. All said it was delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant if traveling to Montreal!

As my group was about to depart Quebec after our 3 days stay, going to Ben & Florentine was the perfect goodbye to the beautiful city of Montreal! It is right by the Gare Centrale if you're travelling by Via Rail. Marie went above & beyond, she impressed us right away by how she remembered all of our orders without writing anything down! She ensured our experience was good & had us eating good, as well as took amazing photos of us to end off our trip the right way!
