Review Summary

Ben & Florentine is described as a dependable brunch spot with fresh, flavorful dishes, a wide range of options, and generous portions at reasonable prices. The service is frequently praised as attentive and friendly, with quick seating on busy mornings though peak times can bring slower service when the restaurant is crowded. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a good place to meet friends for brunch, with a focus on quality smoothies, fresh fruit, and well prepared classics like crepes, omelets, and eggs Benedict. While some menu items may be unavailable at times and waits can be longer during peak hours, the overall experience remains satisfying and dependable, with consistently strong food quality and value.

Me encanta, un buen ambiente y de buen tamano

Rendu très dispendieux même tôt le matin.

- Runny egg whites,
- toast that is barely toasted,
- cold potatoes.

All this for such increased prices? Not worth it anymore.

I've been coming here for many years, but a recent subtantial drop in food quality will lead me elsewhere.

Excellent service rapide & repas. J'ai choisi la tartine mascarpone & fraise. C'était délicieux.

I would have rated them higher had they not refused to serve me only one poached egg, saying this option is not available on weekends. Blatant cash grab driving food waste. If you're a light eater go elsewhere on weekends.

We had a great breakfast (or brunch) here! The service was friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. The taters were especially delicious - not sure what seasoning you use, but they were a standout. Portion sizes were just right, prices were very reasonable, & there's such a wide selection on the menu. All around, a great dining experience - we'll definitely be back!

Went for brunch & got some eggs Benedict with avocado. They were really good but one was a little overcooked. Other than that it was a really good brunch place! Really fast service too.

Meh. The third time wasn't a charm. Must have been a morning the other waitresses didn't show up.

This was our second time coming here for brunch. The food was delicious, visually attractive & colorful. Our server was polite & courteous. The only negative was that although there were a good number of empty (but not cleared off) tables, we were kept standing by the entrance, waiting to be seated for about twenty minutes without even a welcoming greeting. It was obvious that they were very short-staffed today, since we didn't have any issues with prompt service on our earlier visit.

Place gets busy quickly. Service was fast & food was good, but the smoothies were the highlight!

Such a great breakfast! Avocado, Lix, shredded ham, maple butter sauce on French Toast….sooo many good choices & flavors & hearty servings!

Coffee could be stronger & the cheese on the skillet was a bit clumped together. Crepe was AMAZING & Matcha & Coco smoothie was super tasty.
Service was friendly & welcoming in the official language of our choice.

La nourriture est correct, le service est très bon & c'est abordable. Je recommande pour les déjeuners en groupe ou seul/accompagné.

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

We had many kids who were indecisive & restless, but our waitress was kind & patient. The food was delicious as always. & the potatoes were just out of this world. Thank you!

Nice place to have breakfast & more. There are plenty of options. The food was tasty, & the service was great. We tried their version of poutine, crepes, & hot chocolate.
