I got my usual plate: 2 eggs, 1 meat and of course potatoes. It's a simple plate, but I can make the different between a good one! The ham was too salty, potatoes were ok, and I would've liked a bit more fruits. Service was great, our waiter was on point! read more

Although it is a chain breakfast restaurant, which I am not usually a fan of, I had a pleasant time here for brunch monday morning. It wasn't very busy so we were seated right away. A waitress quickly introduced herself and got us coffees. The menu is pretty standard for a breakfast place, with lots of options. I forget the exact name of the meal I ordered but it was 2 eggs, french toast, toast and potatoes. The meal was filling and was surprisingly very good. My friends all really seemed to enjoy their meals as well (One ordered similarly to me and the other two ordered some variation of avocado toast). The service was quick and friendly. Food: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Service 5/5 read more

I wanted to go to this place for quite some time and finally had a chance to visit. Came with my family. Arrived on a Sunday at around 11am and wasn't too busy. The hostess was very nice and got us seated almost right away, plenty of high chairs and booster seats for the kids as well as crayons and coloring books galore. The menu was great with lots of selections to choose from. Food: Banana Almond Pancakes- Sweet deliciousness, the hazelnut spread was plentiful the Almonds and Bananas but the pancakes were fluffy but smaller than the others. Blueberry Burst- This was great, lots of fresh blueberries and they were sweet naturally. The pancakes were very fluffy Bagel Lox- This was pretty straight forward, Montreal style sesame bagel was top notch. The fruits that came with it were excellent. Avocado Benedict- Great hollandaise!!! it came with regular strips of bacon, very crunchy and the avocados were well ripened Kids Grilled Cheese- they were very accommodating and allowed a substitution of fries instead of the home fries. The cheese was plain American but you can sub for cheddar or others. Kids Chocolate Chip Banana Pancake- This was basically the same as the Banana Almond except there were chocolate chips cooked within the pancake no bananas within the pancake. It was a huge portion. Atmosphere: It was definitely great for the family, lots of them! The staff was very attentive with coffee and water refills as well as anything we needed. Never had to ask for a refill. The place was very clean as well. They had an open kitchen and so that was appreciated, nothing for them to hide. Relaxing yet lively new hits music was playing over the speakers giving a nice vibe. Two large flat screen TVs were on the walls showing the cooking channel, sports news and regular news. We asked if they would put some children's cartoons on for us they said it was absolutely no problem. I look forward to visiting again and this time trying out the skillet options or delice avocado, they certainly looked good seeing the other patrons having it. Also really want to try the latkes. Thanks for a great experience we will see you soon! read more

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. read more

The best place to have breakfast in West Island! Great service, delicious food, many options ( including many healthy options ) and good coffee!!! read more

Ben & Florentine - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec

I ordered breakfast for 2 adults and 2 children this morning and it was delivered by Uber Eats. The food was so cold, eggs and sausages included, that the butter on the toasts just sat there, never even melted a little. I ordered 2 extra sides of bacon for my grand-sons to go with their pancakes and they were not delivered. When I called to ask for them to deliver them the person who answered said there was nothing he could do and I should pick it up. I said that I ordered for breakfast to be delivered , I did not want to pick up...I asked to speak to the manager and I could hear the person who answered talk to someone in the back-ground and then he came back and said the manager was not there, just him... It was a bad experience from A to Z, never ordering from that locations again. read more

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! read more

Ben & Florentine - Menu options - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec

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" read more

Great service and food! Can't go bad with that! The waitress/ waiters are very nice and friendly. Always come to the table to check if you need coffee refills or would like to order anything else. Great place! read more

The service is extremely slow, the order has mistakes and it takes forever to pay. Even after making a formal complaint and getting a free meal, there was a mistake on my order. I would prefer driving to the Kirkland destination. read more

I was sad to be disappointed by my experience here since we've been to the Kirland location many times and loved it! Maybe they were having an off day but the food was just so-so. The potatoes seemed like they were store-bought frozen ones, and they weren't even cooked properly. The coffee was alright. The place was clean and bright and the staff were good. It's just the food that wasn't up to par compared to the Kirland branch. I guess I would say it's below the norm for breakfast spots in Montreal since there are just so many great ones. Better luck next time, maybe! read more

We ate here on June 9th. The reception was very pleasant. the service was fast. The staff backed each other up. Coffee was always topped up. Croissant and egg sandwich was good . As were the pancakes with fresh fruit and English cream. No noisy families and the place was half full. A little more expensive than other restaurants serving breakfast in the area. read more

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 crepe 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. read more

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

We went to Ben & Florentines this morning and we will never darken their doors again. We were asked if we wanted coffee almost as soon as we sat down and then waited ages to get it and then waited even longer to place our order. My husband ordered Eggs Bennedict, which he said he would never have again. The muffin was burnt on the bottom and sauce looked like it has been around for a week. I ordered 2 eggs poached with back bacon and a side of sausage and brown toast (which was right on the menu). The waitress came with what was supposed to be my order and when I told her that what she brought was not back bacon and i had to argue with her. The sausages looked liked they had been cooked two weeks ahead. Finally when I did finally get my meal, the waitress said she was sorry but she did not know what back bacon was and it was the first time she had served it (maybe a little more training would help). Toast was very cold with butter that would not sink in. Now I know why Pettinos is so busy, with they're great food and much nicer atmosphere. read more

DISAPPOINTED!!! This is the closest breakfast spot from where I live and usually find the food good. Today, it was terrible service. I went in around noon on the 24th and it was dead. The waitress that was my server happily brought my coffee and took my order. 2 over easy with sausages, side of beans and rye bread extra toasted and buttered. It took over 10 minutes wait and a second cup of coffee, as I waited for the waitress's attention so I could get milk. Get the milk , no problem, food arrives and my egg yolks are cooked solid. So I tried to flag down the waitress with no luck. I wait and wait, then decide to look for her. I explain to her to take back my whole meal because my eggs are not what I ordered. She did exactly that and returns with the eggs cooked as originally orderI give her my credit card and she ends up taking a personal phone call without acknowledging me. WOW! I pay and leave her a tip of 15%. Except I ask her if I can speak to her, which she was annoyed, since I interrupted her personal call. She says yea yea and gives me the look.... Well I explain the service was terrible and tried to be gracious as to why I feel she was not at her best. She continues to say yea,yea..... Well if you hate to be treated not as a restaurant customer deserves, then you will know what to expect. But for me, there was no excuse, place empty and still terrible service. read more
