Review Summary

Reviews portray Ben & Florentine as a reliable downtown Montreal brunch spot with fresh, flavorful dishes and generous portions at reasonable prices. Breakfast staples such as omelets and eggs Benedict are praised for being well prepared and served hot, with tasty sides and crowd pleasers throughout. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and family friendly. Service is friendly and attentive when not at peak, with numerous mentions of staff going the extra mile, while busy moments can bring longer waits and slower pace. Overall, the place is seen as solid value for money and a good option for a morning or early day meal, though peak times can bring crowds, occasional service hiccups, and a challenging price to value balance. Taken together, the reviews suggest a popular brunch destination that delivers on food quality and hospitality, with the caveat that busy times can affect speed and consistency.

Really nice breakfast, massive portions, the only thing is my scrambled eggs were so dry. The sunnyside eggs were perfect, & so was everything else.

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

Make sure to come hungry as portions are very generous. Breakfast was incredible. When I saw banana & Nutella crepes on the menu I was sold! It came with all the fixings! I also had the Maple Iced Coffee (Sortilège, milk, vanilla, espresso & cinnamon) which was a wonderful way to start to our Montreal day!

Breakfast was good. I ordered crispy french toast with caramel apple & Vegetarian 2 Egg skillet. Amazing food. In relative to other breakfast places, it is a little expensive place but worth it. Very crowded, very noisy & congested. You can sit for long as there is a queue of people. Overall a good experience.

Almost good for a noisy big chain restaurant, but there are potatoes & toast on every classic bfast order, no exceptions, & no substitutions. Any breakfast spot in Montréal will give you sliced tomatoes or veggies as options or at least have menu items that include us no-to-low sugar folks. I personally can't eat the toast or the potatoes with my long covid protocol. Too bad. Could be a good spot but the chain expects us all to have the same needs. The server was fine but sick of being asked for exceptions, apparently. If you are ok with that, it's not a bad place & decent enough food. I won't go back.

Loved this place. The best for breakfast. Found it while wondering downtown Montreal. The place was packed with locals. So a good sign. If you are a tourist & need English the staff are bilingual. The food & service were excellent. Also, a wide selection of items. Bathrooms were spotless too
