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.

We ate here with a group of seven, it was around 11 am on a Sunday. The waitress was not very friendly & the service was unfortunately not that good. We were optimistic but the food was average or below average at best, a bit on the pricey side for what it was. I would have to recommend looking elsewhere for breakfast/brunch.

What an incredible place to eat. Amazing food (you will not leave hungry). Everything is so fresh from the fruit with your breakfast to the fresh squeezed orange juice. The staff are friendly, helpfully & provide a great atmosphere. Came in for breakfast twice during our weekend trip & will come again when next in town. Brilliant

Ok breakfast... not the best. I took the waffle english cream with bacon & sausage. Almost no english cream on the waffle, very dry... :( . Service good. Women bathroom - both toilets couldn't flush...the smell was unbearable.

We had breakfast there every morning during our 12 day stay in Montreal. Excellent food at reasonable prices but above everything the service was the best. Marie & the girls did an excellent job.

Ben & Florentine is an all around great choice for breakfast that I'd recommend. They have a large menu with a lot of variety. The hashbrowns are great! One thing I noticed, though, was a lack of vegan options on the menu. I didn't see anything suitable for vegans, but there are a lot of vegetarian choices. The service was really great. Professional & friendly. The atmosphere was nice & the dining area was really clean. The washrooms, though, are up a narrow staircase & are not as nice as the rest of the restaurant, but there is an accessible washroom on the main floor.

Wonderful breakfast place.... I had an amazing plate & it was very filling yet affordable. The staff were friendly & spoke in English. This place is very recommended

If you enjoy breakfast on the healthier side I think this would be a place for you. While I find the food on the blander-side (due to the healthiness of it). I think the drinks are awesome! The iced coffee, hot chocolate & orange juice are all so rich!
