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.
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!
I often cant decide between sweet & savory breakfast items, & here you dont need to. Its nice to get a sweet crepe, toast, eggs, bacon/sausage, etc. all in one order, but just make sure you are hungry! The poached egg on the eggs benedict was unfortunately cold, like it was prepared in advance & saved until serving. The other eggs were good, as were the potatoes & meats. Waffle was standard. Coffee & tea are included with of if the menu items. The crepes are quite thick here-personally I prefer them thinner. Overall I would recommend B&F for breakfast & brunch, especially with the big portion sizes & variety within orders
Très bon endroit, bien situé,à 2 pas de la rue Ste Catherine, pour déguster de la cuisine à base d'oeufs, le menu est varié, les plats sont copieux. Les serveuses sont sympa & à vos petits soins, je recommande 😊
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.

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
