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.

The service was good , the waitresses checked-in all the time, but the food was disappointing. I'm not sure if it's only their seasonal beef special options, but it was flavorless. My poached eggs were completely hard cooked. The sauce is tasteless, sad. The best of the plates were the potatoes & the fruit. Maybe try other options.

Fantastic selection of brunch items, drinks, & other treats. Stopped by here while we waited for our train boarding time to hit. Love that the benny came with a side of fruit salad, really helped balance everything out. Coffee did taste a little watery but I came here for the food not the coffee. Everything was reasonably priced, & the wait staff was very attentive.

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

Expérience agréable un samedi matin qui était un peu achalandé mais vraiment l'attente a été raisonnable. C'est un menu varié qui nous est offert je pense y retourner.

Has to be the best breakfast place I have ever eaten at. Food was amazing, good portion size & price was reasonable for what we had. The food was high quality. Service: No complaints, server did a good job & had no issues. Atmosphere, restaurant was elegant, I really appreciate when they have an open kitchen as well to be able to see the food prepared.

J'y suis allée deux fois j'ai aimé les menus en général. Le problème c'est le service j'ai vécue une expérience décevante. La première fois c'était avec l'une des serveuses. Avec mes amies on avait partagé les notes. Alors on a payé deux notes avec de bons pourboires & la dernière sans. La serveuse l'a très mal pris & n'a pas hésité à nous faire la remarque. Mais ceci n'était pas très grave pour moi je suis revenue la semaine d'après (dimanche 27 octobre vers 13h) Alors cette fois c'est pire l'une des serveuses celle qui installait les gens m'a prit une chaise haute bébé & la donne à d'autres clients alors que non bb y était assis choquée c'était très humiliant. Elle a dit c'est pour l'autre table. Je ne comprends pas comment un enfant peut passer avant l'autre ils sont tous importants aux yeux de leurs parents. C'est inacceptable. Je n'ai pas voulu faire un scandale & j'ai laissé passer j'ai payé ma note avec pourboire comme d'habitude. J'étais triste & déçue

La serveuse est bien gentille mais l'attente est incroyablement longue surtout quand tu as terminer de manger. De plus aucune autres employés ne peux t'aider pour pouvoir payer & il y en a définitivement pas assez. Tout le monde est assis les un sur les autres & c'est impossible de circuler entre les tables. Je vous conseille de meme pas penser aller a la salle de bain. & vraiment ce qui m'a dégouter c'est de voir un employé de la cuisine s'y rendre avec son tablier de travail. Je n'ai vraiment plus la patiente d'y aller. Mon assiette était bien bonne par contre.
