Ben & Florentine Montréal Downtown

Everything we had here, from the food to the drinks, was absolutely amazing, but what impressed us the most was Marie and her incredible hospitality! We had accidentally gotten the time wrong and realized our train was coming soon, so we told her we would have to give up and leave. Marie immediately said, “I’ll do my best to make it in two minutes! I don’t want you to have to give up!” 🥹 We were really in a hurry, though, so we ended up leaving — only to miss our train anyway! When we came back to the restaurant, Marie even treated us additional coffee and said, “I’ll keep track of the time for you so you don’t miss the next one.” And she actually did! When it was time to leave, she came over to us and said, “Girl, it’s time!” 😂❤️ Seriously, this was some of the best service and hospitality we’ve ever experienced. Everyone we met in Montreal was so kind, but Marie truly represents the warmth and kindness of this city! Thank you so much, Marie. You made our trip even more special. ❤️

I've been to Ben&Florentine several times now, at their downtown restaurant in MTL, and I've been very impressed by the food they serve and the service. The waitress is very attentive and careful to never miss a coffee refill or anything else. Considering the amount of coffee people drink in the morning, you can refill your coffee an unhealthy number of times for free. I also tried Cora Déjeuners, which is a similar type of breakfast restaurant nearby. Comparing the two, I would recommend Ben&Florentine. I find the food, portion sizes, and service to be a bit better at Ben&Florentine compared to Cora. If I were to rate both, I would give Ben & Florentine 5 stars and Cora 4.5 stars.

Wanted to treat myself to breakfast. Great service, decent selection and the food was good. It was delicious and the server was great. One minor thing would be the cleanliness of the bathroom but beyond that, incredible.
