Review Summary

Ben & Florentine is widely recognized as a popular downtown destination for breakfast and brunch, frequently praised for its generous portions, fresh ingredients, and varied menu options. While a vast majority of patrons highlight the exceptional, friendly, and hardworking nature of the service staff, some visitors have noted that the restaurant can become quite crowded, leading to potential wait times or an occasionally rushed atmosphere. Most guests appreciate the overall value and consistent quality of the food, particularly the egg benedicts, pancakes, and creative additions like churros, though experiences regarding service speed and dining pace can occasionally fluctuate depending on how busy the venue is.

Très cher pour ce que c'est. Oeuf non coulant pour des oeuf bénédictine. Pas assez de patates & fruits pas mûres du tout.

You order the daily special with a vegetarian dish called "Grilled vegetable & goat cheese wrap" & when the waiter says "replacing fries (unhealthy) for a salad costs $2.25" I wonder who runs the menu in this place. First & last visit. Unbelievable Note: waitress did a cracking job on her first week so merited a tip regardless

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.

Came here once & it was great. This was my 2nd time & the potatoes were cold & hard. Theyre a bit cheap on the sauce with the poutine also.
