Had a wonderful experience at Ben & Florentine in Montreal. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, & perfectly prepared. Special mention to Jade for her exceptional hospitality; she was warm, attentive, & made the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Le resto Ben & Florentine, classique de la chaîne : on sait à quoi s'attendre, sans surprise particulière. Ici, l'accueil & le service font la différence. Notre serveuse était souriante, rapide, attentive & vraiment professionnelle. Grâce à elle, l'expérience a été impeccable du début à la fin. Note : 5/5
We had a great breakfast (or brunch) here! The service was friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. The taters were especially delicious - not sure what seasoning you use, but they were a standout. Portion sizes were just right, prices were very reasonable, & there's such a wide selection on the menu. All around, a great dining experience - we'll definitely be back!
Fantastic selection of brunch items, drinks, & other treats. Stopped by here while we waited for our train boarding time to hit. Love that the benny came with a side of fruit salad, really helped balance everything out. Coffee did taste a little watery but I came here for the food not the coffee. Everything was reasonably priced, & the wait staff was very attentive.
Dear Ben & Florentine, It's no secret I love my breakfast & my definite go to place is your outlet on Mansfield. I came back on Sunday Oct 6th & it is always wonderful. Every time I go, I get the very best service & quality breakfast. Today, I will tell you about a very special waitress that really works very hard & is an ambassador of your brand. She is an inspiration, one of those people you always want breakfast from. Marie-Pier is extremely devoted to you & her clients & she has always treated me like gold, been extremely attentive & caring. She is one of those waitresses every other restaurant wished they had. Not only does she know her menu inside & out, she really gives personalized quality service not found elsewhere. She is very careful with your brand & is alert in her entourage. She assists other waitresses, makes sure things run smoothly. It's not just about my service but everyone else. She gives so much to Ben & Florentine & absolutely loves her work with you, I feel it each time. She's the waitress that has it all, beautiful inside & out, giving her best service with very high professional standards.Attentive & very very hard working. She has served me for years & each time, i got more than breakfast, I got a welcome home experience. You ought to be very proud of her & her contribution. I don't know if you have an employee incentive program but I am compelled to write as i am in awe each time Marie-Pier gives me her service. She deserves a nice bonus, a certificate or something like that. She is worthy of any recognition you can give her as for jenny( both are out of this world).
Visited during weekday morning. It was quiet & waitress was very attentive. Foods are very good value & the quality has exceeded my expectation for a typical franchise brunch place! Egg yolks on egg benedicts were HUGE (never seen one this big in the US 😂). Food didn't have too much seasoning & I liked it.

This was our last restaurant when we were in Montreal & it was a brunch place right before we headed out on a train to Quebec. The food was really good & the service was really attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the coffee as well as the breakfast & I very much enjoyed putting authentic maple syrup all over my scramble Skillet & I also enjoyed speaking French with the waiter. That was cool
wonderful place to have breakfast! they were quite busy but regardless the service was amazing. very professional & attentive server. & the food was amazing!
Nous sommes allées manger au restaurant Ben&Florentine le lundi 6 octobre 2014 vers environ 11h30. Notre expérience a été positive & nous sommes très satisfaites de ce restaurant, mis à part quelques détails. En arrivant, l'ambiance n'était pas très au rendez-vous puisqu'il n'y avait que quelques clients. Somme toute, nous attribuons 4/5 au restaurant. Tout d'abord, la nourriture était goûteuse & les portions étaient généreuses. Les aliments étaient chauds & frais, mis à part la crêpe qui était température pièce & un peu sèche. En ce qui concerne le service, la serveuse était très attentive à nos besoins & aucune erreur de prise de commande n'a été commise. Elle était toujours souriante & prête à répondre à nos questions, sans avoir l'air pressée. Le rapport qualité-prix est très abordable. Pour la quantité de nourriture servie, plus un smoothie & un café, le prix était très satisfaisant considérant, de plus, le service de bonne qualité. Par contre, un aspect négatif à apportez serait la propreté des toilettes des femmes. Une des toilettes était manifestement défectueuse. Pour remédier à la situation, ils avaient placé une poubelle & un torchon sur la chasse d'eau, car en flochant, l'eau giclait. Une poubelle disposée uniquement pour l'hygiène féminine devrait être installée afin de rester sanitaire. Mise à part les toilettes, tout a été à la hauteur de nos attentes, & nous croyons y retourner. :D
