Ben & Florentine

Service was excellent, our server was friendly and attentive. The lox florentine was amazing. Great selection on the menu, we will be back here again!

I’m very happy to revise this review and am sorry that I hadn’t done it sooner. This location has indeed found their groove:
— Portions & proportions are both in check
— Fresh fruits are the standard
— Service is A1
I’m thrilled to have a B&F closer to home (though Kirkland wasn’t really a big schlep).
Bonus: West Island residents usually get a set of coupons for B&F in the mail on a monthly basis. It’s in those cheque-​sized booklets. Though the coupon is only valid M-​F, more price-​sensitive buyers can indulge in a smoothie or fancy coffee mid-​week.

My boyfriend and I wanted to go for breakfast this morning, and stumbled upon B&F. We thought we’d try it out since we have both heard of it but never had it. The waitress was super friendly and very nice. A good start to our breakfast. We had a tough decision because the menu had so many choices to choose from. Between the strawberry field crêpes to the «bananamandes» pancakes, they all seemed delicious. I had ended up ordering the strawberry Field crêpes and my boyfriend ended up ordering the Number ten, consisting of eggs, sausages, bacon, toast and waffles, with a side order of beans. The wait didn’t take long, max 20 minutes. And when the food came, the presentation was so beautifully done. I knew from the smell and presentation that this would be a good meal. We had both taken our bites from the plates, and we both fell in love. We have made multiple compliments throughout the meal. It was absolutely fantastic. The crêpe melted into the mouth, and the fruits were very fresh. Just perfect. My boyfriend and I have had our share of breakfast places and this was by far the best yet. Will definitely come back and make this our new favourite breakfast place. Can’t wait to go again.

Party of 7. Everything was excellent. Very surprised by the previous reviews.
I had the traditional Benedict, and it might be the best Benedict I’ve ever had. The eggs were a bright orange medium, which is obviously overcooked (though slightly) but the taste was so good that I could not send it back. 2 other Benedicts at the table were cooked the same way.
Also has a large smoothie, which was also excellent. No complaints from anyone at the table, about anything. Despite one in our group making some odd requests, the server got it all right, and rolled with it in a friendly way.
Based on this experience, I will definitely be back.

I just came back from the B&F in Dollard Des Ormeaux. the menu consisted of 2 choices #1 deep fried #2 processed.
The home fries I suspect arrived to the back of the restaurant frozen and prepared in factory then were promptly dropped into a deep fryer, the potato pancakes were the frozen McCain ones from the local IGA. I suspect the sausages got deep fried too, if they weren’t deep fried they had been sitting under a heat lamp, the sausage casings had peeled right off the sausage. But the part that describes this place up was the «waffles» the waffles were shockingly and impressively bad, I mean seriously who can screw up a waffle??? I saw the guy go into the freezer, peel the plastic off of the frozen waffle then stuff it into the waffle iron!!! I have never seen that before. it was like astronaut food. certainly not home cooked breakfast.
I think I could actually taste the profit margin in every bite, the best way to describe this place is «it legally qualifies as food» the is no care or skill or love put into anything on the plate. everything seemed designed with the highest level of optimization and ease of franchising. These qualities seem to paramount the quality of cuisine.
All of this was fine if I was at a truck stop in a rush, but when the bill came and it was 40 $ for 2 people I almost fell out of the booth. they didn’t even chop up their own potatoes!!! or prepare anything onsite
I hate not getting value for my money and this place was a complete rip off. Any gas station would give you the exact same breakfast for $ 8. I’m surprised with the amount of competition in this market space these guys are still around.
I read other reviews of bad service, my experience was great service, fast fresh coffee, but the food seemed like it came off the back of the red cross emergency relief bus.
I wish I could give this place 0 stars, I would recommend this place if you cant tell the difference between deep fried and fresh, or if maybe you just got out of prison and you miss the cooking «inside»

My favourite breakfast place! They prepare the food and serve it really nicely. I even had a flower on it which made it cute
