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.

It's a very nice small brunch restaurant with something for everyone. It has great vegetarian options. The service is excellent at least the madam that was our server was above & beyond. So nice.

Great place for an easy breakfast. Menu is vast. We avoided the fried food & went with the healthy options. Oats were great with good serving of fruit & granola was also big. Good to the brown sugar & cream on the side for the oats & not in there already. We don't drink coffee at all - we were asked 3 times in the first 5 minutes by 3 different people if we wanted coffee. Might sound annoying to some, but it's good attention to the customer.

Vraiment déçu par ce restaurant ! Au départ, je découvre que les toilettes sont bloquées & débordent ! Ensuite je commande sans banane dans les fruits & je reçois mon assiette avec bananes alors qui je suis allergique ! Ensuite dans une bouchée de mon bagel au saumon fumée je m'étouffe avec un arête ! Du jamais vu pour moi, un arête dans le saumon fumée ! Des patates épicées rouge avec un goût d'huile de friteuse ! Donc un 27$ mal investi qui a été décevant ! Je ne retournerais pas dans ce restaurant ni aucun de cette chaîne !

Visited during weekday morning. It was quiet & waitress was very attentive. Foods are very good value & the quality has exceeded my expectation for a typical franchise brunch place! Egg yolks on egg benedicts were HUGE (never seen one this big in the US 😂). Food didn't have too much seasoning & I liked it.

Great food but very noisy, waitress did not check to see how our food was, forget my drink & when it came, it was not the correct one & no apologies! Very rushed staff & that's likely why the service differed!

Marie was hands down one of the best waitresses I've had in my life. She made the effort to create a table for us to be in her section because we had her yesterday. Thank you so much for making our Montreal trip even more unforgettable. 10/10 would come again!

This is the best place for a delicious breakfast/brunch for a great price. There are so many wonderful options to choose from. & it's located close to the QE Fairmont we stayed at. The waitress for our first visit was Marie, this lady is amazing, so efficient, so friendly, does everything with a smile! The best I've ever seen!! This place is extremely busy & for good reason, we went around 11:30am & got seated within a couple of minutes but the waitresses are busy so it may take a bit to get your food/bill but well worth it. We went back the next day & Jen was really good as well. Definitely eat here!

Really nice breakfast, massive portions, the only thing is my scrambled eggs were so dry. The sunnyside eggs were perfect, & so was everything else.

This was our last restaurant when we were in Montreal & it was a brunch place right before we headed out on a train to Quebec. The food was really good & the service was really attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the coffee as well as the breakfast & I very much enjoyed putting authentic maple syrup all over my scramble Skillet & I also enjoyed speaking French with the waiter. That was cool
