Ben & Florentine

Excellent endroit pour déjeuners de tout sortes. Le service est quand même très bon aussi.

Food is good, we always order the eggs benedictine, the staff is friendly but always running, the wait is horrible. It looks to me that they are not well organized or missing training. We complained for the wait and they gave us a 15% discount, i find the gesture very pleasing.

Ben and Florentine in my mind is an up and coming breakfast chain. Cora is the local home grown success story of one Cora Tsouflidou who decided to provide some more artistic fresh fruit flair to breakfast. Cora’s is across Canada now and 130+ restaurants. Ben and Florentine has roughly 30+ in the province of Quebec and I believe restaurants in Ontario now as well. My issue with Cora’s however is it’s easily a $ 15-​$ 20 breakfast. B&F is similar so you must be cautious as you can easily rack up the bill.
The menu selection is large. Everything you can think of from eggs, omelettes, skillets, pancakes, crepes and then some lunch items such as burgers, salads and sandwiches. Also a very solid kids menu. I much prefer this menu than to Cora’s. On my visit I had a classic eggs Benedict. My wife had a chorizo omelette 2 eggs rather than the usual 3. My Benny was perfect with lots of hollandanise sauce. She really enjoyed her omelette. We had a buy one regular and get another breakfast 50% off coupon. Fantastic that two large breakfasts with a breakfast smoothie and my coffee with tip was just under $ 30 with 15% tip and tax with the coupon. Otherwise it would have been high $ 37 – 38.
Service was fantastic and the restaurant is modern in décor and clean.
We eat breakfast out infrequently as I believe I’d rather spend $ 30 – 40 on lunch rather than eggs and toast.
