Ben & Florentine — Restaurant in Montreal

Service is excellent friendly and very helpful (and very busy probably over worked) but the food is not up to my expectations for a 15-20$ / plate resto. To start the coffee was undrinkable. The tea was very nice. The potato's are frozen, they taste ok but for the price one expects real potatoes like the other breakfast places of the same price range. The ham was flavourless and greasy. The sausage was good, bacon was also good but my partner thought it didn't taste so fresh. Eggs were also acceptable. Toast was more bread than toast. Fresh fruit waffle came with grapes (warm grapes? Gross) banana and 3 strawberries, and a drizzle of "English cream" that ..well I won't say what it looked like here if I'm being polite 😬 I was highly disappointed compared to the waffles I get at all the other breakfast places, with good amounts of non-watery English cream and fresh berries not cheap bananas and grapes. Half the resto is nice, the other half is in the "sunroom" and is loud and cold when the sun isn't shining.

The table has an extremely sticky edge. Even after they cleaned it ..It's not on the table top but the edge all around it really bothered me.

Our waitress tried her best to make us happy which I appreciate but it wasn't her fault, nor do I think it's the kitchens fault..there's a good...

Being from Vancouver, BC this place is awesome. Hands down the best breakfast I've had in a long time. The best part is the price as well, every meal includes either a coffee or tea, therefore for approx $30 you can have breakfast for two including coffee which is a smoking deal! The menu is awesome as well, anything breakfast you can think of they basically have, that being said it was pretty hard coming to a decision but both my girlfriend and I were very pleased. The service isn't too bad as well, our waitress was very nice and even though there weren't many people, since we arrived basically half an hour before closing (14:00 or 2:00pm) the food and drinks came out quickly. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a delicious breakfast at an incredible price! Wish they had...

Just tried to have my first Ben and Florentine breakfast. Drove out to the nuns island branch, of course I checked if they serve breakfast late like all breakfast restaurants BUT they wouldn’t serve us. It was 2:30 PM and they close at 3:00PM. But nope, they wouldn’t seat us or serve us - categorically refused. Their explanation was that when only a few tables are left being served they close the kitchen. REALLY! Very dissatisfied and disappointed. Needless to say - we will never go back and as it’s a policy to close the kitchen at random times I will also heed all my friends to this policy. Poor business conduct on their part and as restaurants are struggling to stay afloat, there are many who will gladly accommodate us even half an hour before their posted...
