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.

Friendly staff, & very accommodating. Food was absolutely delicious! We had a party of 5 & were seated very quickly. I ordered the Apple Crepes combo, & ate every bit of it. People in my party ordered the crispy French toast with chocolate, & the pancakes. All said it was delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant if traveling to Montreal!

As my group was about to depart Quebec after our 3 days stay, going to Ben & Florentine was the perfect goodbye to the beautiful city of Montreal! It is right by the Gare Centrale if you're travelling by Via Rail. Marie went above & beyond, she impressed us right away by how she remembered all of our orders without writing anything down! She ensured our experience was good & had us eating good, as well as took amazing photos of us to end off our trip the right way!

I arrived here maybe around 8:45 AM on Saturday for the long weekend in August. This place was really nice & stood out to me on Google Maps because it had really good reviews. The food looked really nice & it definitely delivered.

I got seated within a minute of even getting into the place & the server was really nice. I came with a table of four people, & I ordered the salmon bagel with breakfast fruit, & breakfast potatoes. This is really nice because I don't usually get much options for persons who do not eat egg so the salmon was a plus. My friend got the seasonal items with apple & peach toast with bacon & eggs. One got a French toast with eggs as well & these definitely look really good.

I only took pictures of my food, but safe to say the other others also had a good experience as well.

One thing I want to add is that when I came in I requested a table for four & the servers were really accommodating while my friends came in maybe a good 30 to 45 minutes after me. I appreciated that because by the time my friends came, it was really busy & I would assume that getting a table would be very hard.

Overall experience, I would come again.
10/10 for Service, food & location!

The restaurant was very clean & tidy & very welcoming. The food was really great & good value. But the best part was the amazing service we got from Marie-Pier! She really went above & beyond when my partner mentioned gluten-free options, she helped with suggestions & made sure there wouldn't be contamination. During the meal some ketchup spilled on my white shirt, she got a damp cloth & grabbed her own tide to go stick! She was so joyful, attentive & very pleasant. Got our day off on the right foot! Merci beaucoup Marie-Pier!

La responsable, Marie-Pier Bellefeuille, a été extrêmement méprisante envers ma femme. Je comprends maintenant pourquoi ils engagent une nouvelle serveuse toutes les deux semaines.
