Review from Athena C.
Although Ben & Florentine is a chain restaurant, it does not discount its taste and quality of food. The service on the other hand, could be a little spotty even in New York standard.
We came here during busy lunch hour and were seated quite fast although quickly ignored for a good 5 minutes. The menu was quite extensive and the price is simply lovely. You pick an entree and you get free bread, coffee/tea and juice all for less than $14.
I got the two eggs scrambled with Canadian smoked meat with some wheat toast. I was so in love with the Canadian Smoked Meat! It is not the pastrami nor a corn beef. It is not bacon either. It is some thinly sliced, salty tender beef I have fallen victim to. The wheat toast is to my surprise, very fluffy and buttery. I have never had wheat toast tastes just as good as milky white bread. -

Have eaten at the location in Laval before and it was great, however this one was an awful experience. We arrived at 2pm on a Sunday and the restaurant was 80% empty. We were seated in a booth right near the front where two of the other booths around us had customers just leaving.
We then sat there for 20 mins. while at one point 5 other staff were chatting by our table, not one of them ever came to our table and welcomed us, offered coffee or water.
We walked out.
I wanted to stay and see just how long it took, then talk to a manager but my gf didn't want to make a scene. This was the worst service I have ever seen at any restaurant I've been to in my 35 years. -

the a,b,c's of my reviews Atmosphere, Service, & Food
Atmosphere: If you're in Montreal (whether a visitor or a local) and feel like going to an *intimate* brunch - please don't go to Ben & Florentine. It's a decent enough place - if you're into the big-box, soul-less, chain restaurants. If you're looking for character and place that doesn't feel like you just drove in from off the high away ~ there are many other places in city to go to. This is a place you may want to consider after you've had a long night of Montreal living with your boys or gals. It'll do the trick in a bind.
Service: The service is bland at best. The staff is young, mostly students, and although they do their best, often their attitude is that of indifference.
Food: Large menu, with the typical items found at other brunch places. Categories include eggs, Benedict's, waffles, crepes, etc. Unfortunately, quantity often does not equal quality, the food's quality is a hit-and-miss.
Serviceable, but shouldn't be your first choice. -

Excellent food but Saturday at 10:30 am was slowwww. Took 40 minutes for food to come (our order wasn't complicated). Nonetheless the food definitely redeemed itself!

A great menu, in both english and french. If you like Cora styled breakfasts...you must visit for a hearty, family styled breakfast!
