Review Summary

Reviews portray Ben & Florentine as a reliable downtown Montreal brunch spot with fresh, flavorful dishes and generous portions at reasonable prices. Breakfast staples such as omelets and eggs Benedict are praised for being well prepared and served hot, with tasty sides and crowd pleasers throughout. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and family friendly. Service is friendly and attentive when not at peak, with numerous mentions of staff going the extra mile, while busy moments can bring longer waits and slower pace. Overall, the place is seen as solid value for money and a good option for a morning or early day meal, though peak times can bring crowds, occasional service hiccups, and a challenging price to value balance. Taken together, the reviews suggest a popular brunch destination that delivers on food quality and hospitality, with the caveat that busy times can affect speed and consistency.

Beau, bon pas cher. Rien de mauvais a dire. Une mention spéciale au serveur, mercredi le 14 fevrier 2024, qui etait seul avec une salle bondée & qui a su assurer un service efficace

What an incredible place to eat. Amazing food (you will not leave hungry). Everything is so fresh from the fruit with your breakfast to the fresh squeezed orange juice. The staff are friendly, helpfully & provide a great atmosphere. Came in for breakfast twice during our weekend trip & will come again when next in town. Brilliant

I came here for the first time the morning & Marie-Pierre was our waitress & she was very good. The food less. My omelette was the Butcher taste was good but it was cold. I told My waitress & she ask me if i wanted to change. I said no but she did it anyways. & the second plate was hot & tasty. I was happy. Thanks to her. My friend had the Avocado lox Toast & it was suggy n dry. But she gave us a discount even if my friend wanted to pay anyways. She is an Angel

Good food, lovely service but unfortunate about all of the plastic such as the milk & ketchup packets. Considering how many customers they serve, it would be great if they could use glass bottles instead.

As far as Ben & Florentine goes, this is probably one of the best ones.

Bonjour J y suis allée mardi matin tôt. La dame qui m'a accueilli est à mon avis un exemple à suivre en restauration. Elle est de bonne humeur, & est très gentille. Je ressentais qu'elle était heureuse de faire son travail. Le déjeuner était excellent. Merci

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!

Ok breakfast... not the best. I took the waffle english cream with bacon & sausage. Almost no english cream on the waffle, very dry... :( . Service good. Women bathroom - both toilets couldn't flush...the smell was unbearable.

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.

Merci à Sarah pour ton excellent service avec le sourire, on se revoit bientôt ☺️ Malheureusement les chandelles au bacon c'est pas très wow. Suggestions pour les fêtes: chandelles à la cannelle , sapin baumier , petits fruits , cappuccino etc . 🎄Joyeuses Fêtes🎄
