Review Summary

Ben & Florentine is widely recognized as a reliable and popular destination for breakfast and brunch, frequently praised for its generous portion sizes, fresh food quality, and extensive menu variety. Many visitors highlight the consistently delicious meals, such as the pancakes, crepes, and omelets, often noting that the pricing offers excellent value. While the atmosphere is generally described as warm and welcoming, the dining experience can vary based on the high volume of customers, which occasionally impacts service speed or results in a crowded environment. Although the vast majority of guests commend the friendly and attentive staff for their hard work and professional attitude, a few individuals have reported isolated negative interactions regarding service pacing or specific menu policies, emphasizing that while the restaurant remains a neighborhood staple, timing one's visit can be important to ensure a relaxed experience.

A friend recommended this as her fave breakfast place, & now I know why. I headed to Ben & Florentine for a big breakfast since I had a walking tour after & went for their egg benedict plus a side of bacon. I've had eggs benedict before & I would say that these were the best ones I ever had. Plus free coffee refills & fruit on the side made it such a great meal! So what made me go back a 2nd time in my trip when my flight was cancelled was the service. Huge shoutout to Marie! She was very friendly, remembered me & my order & always took the time to check on me even though she had other waiting tables. We even talked about the airline that even Canadians avoided flying with. Great food & amazing friendly service! I'm a huge fan & would recommend this plac e to anyone!

After our first brunch here was so good, we ended coming back 3 or 4 more time while on holiday in Montreal. Food was always delicious, generous portions, excellent service & a lovely, bright setting. Highly recommended if your in Montreal.

Très bon restaurant pour bruncher. Le personnel est très agréable & chaleureux (merci à Marie-Pier pour son accueil).

Les prix sont corrects voire en dessous de la moyenne & les portions copieuses. La nourriture est très bonne & le choix est varié !

Je recommande fortement !
Pensez à réserver !
