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.

One of my favorite breakfast spots downtown! I always go for the classic breakfast & it's consistently great. The menu offers lots of choices & the food is always fresh & tasty. Perfect place to meet friends & enjoy a relaxed brunch, whether on weekdays or weekends.

It's a good place to eat a well served breakfast or brunch for an affordable price. Not too noisy, relatively fast service, clean & very well located in downtown.

We went to B&F a couple times for breakfast in downtown Montreal. Jane was our several both times. She was awesome & the food was great!

It's a good place for before work breakfast right in the middle of Montreal downtown. However, need to make time for it. It's in no means, a quick breakfast. The reason is due to its convenient location & its popularity. It gets crowded pretty fast & due to staffing shortage, the speed of service suffers. In addition, forget about driving the due to the scarcity of parking places in the neighbourhood.

Very busy breakfast spot; offering discounted breakfast specials before 8:30am. The service was nice, pleasant & speedy. Ordered eggs with crispy bacons. The potatoes were not as crunchy as other branches. The dining environment is smoky. It's nice to have a B & F in downtown that opens early.

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

We were two families in town from Ottawa & decided to have brunch at Ben & Florentine before exploring downtown Montreal. We were four adults & four kids. The hostess was quickly able to put together some tables for us. Our waitress was super friendly & pleasant. Food was delicious!

The staff is very helpful. The food was good & served timely. Parking (downtown) might present a bit of a challenge.
