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.

Waiter is great! Wait time is low. Great ambiance & clean. Food wasn't bad but I have had better food at other branches of Ben & Florentine.

Almost good for a noisy big chain restaurant, but there are potatoes & toast on every classic bfast order, no exceptions, & no substitutions. Any breakfast spot in Montréal will give you sliced tomatoes or veggies as options or at least have menu items that include us no-to-low sugar folks. I personally can't eat the toast or the potatoes with my long covid protocol. Too bad. Could be a good spot but the chain expects us all to have the same needs. The server was fine but sick of being asked for exceptions, apparently. If you are ok with that, it's not a bad place & decent enough food. I won't go back.

Very nice location for large groups, once seated the service is quick. Very polite waiters. Menu was a bit confusing as it was not clearly written if coffee/tea was included with the dishes & there was no specific non-alcoholic menu (had to ask & be referred to an older menu.) But overall very satisfying, but I do wish the had egg Benedicts on the kids menu or some sort of mini menu; like imagine being able to order only half egg Benedicts & then a small order of waffles! I'd be there more often. Oh! & they did have almond milk as an alternative, definitely should be more visible than only when you ask!

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
