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.

We were two families in town from Ottawa & decided to have brunch at Ben & Florentine before exploring downtown Montreal. We were four adults & four kids. The hostess was quickly able to put together some tables for us. Our waitress was super friendly & pleasant. Food was delicious!

La gérante a été très accueillante, à l'écoute & disponible tout le long du service. Certains serveurs/serveuses était pas très souriant & l'air débordé mais on a quand même passé un bon moment. Bonne cuisine, grand restaurant

Slow service at peak hour, not the server's fault as she was working hard, but maybe the kitchen was slow or they need more servers. My guess it was the kitchen as when I got my food it was cold, especially the waffle. Cold & hard. The bacon was good though which is important.

We had breakfast there every morning during our 12 day stay in Montreal. Excellent food at reasonable prices but above everything the service was the best. Marie & the girls did an excellent job.
