    The portions were quite big and definitely a hearty breakfast meal to start your day! This is an good'ole classic breakfast that you can't go wrong with for roughly $20 each plate with all the nutrients to get you started for the day! The restaurant is clean and the service is quick and always checking in on you to make sure everything tastes good!

    Bacon and avocado skillet. Class cheeseburger. Got a latte and a blueberry smoothie and some fresh fruits on the side.

    So many options to choose from. Food is 10 out of 10. Bit crowdy but best place for breakfast /brunch/ lunch. Staff is so friendly. Quick service. Highly recommended. Definitely going there again.

    Back again. Tried something new the "Healthy Duo - 12.95$".OMG good/great. Smoothie was sweet - if your not trying KETO then you will love it. I ate the blueberries and nuts and then sent it away - otherwise I would have eaten it. Poached soft eggs were perfect (little cooler than HOT - but very good,), the brie cheese - multiple choices I like brie, guacamole and fresh spinach (not cooked) on a toasted 12 grain bread OMG / yes I ate the toast YUMMY. Man B@F this is even better than the LOX (no longer eat the huge bagel). My wife had another breakfast - don't recall what it was but she LOVED IT.

    I love looking on Yelp for recommendations and this place is by far my favorite. I am not a breakfast person but this place really satisfied me. The portions were good and the smoothies were even better. However it is a little crowded inside.

    Ben & Florentine is a new breakfast/lunch chain that recently opened up at Scurfield & Kenaston. It's nice to have more brunch places than Stella's, Cora's, Perkins and Pancake House. This place closes at 3 pm daily but you can have breakfast throughout their hours of operation. They have smoothies, eggs benedicts, crepes, pancakes, waffles, omlettes, breafast and lunch sandwiches, skillets, burgers, poutines, salads and a kids menu for 10 and under. There's even an early bird menu M-F before 830 am. Most breakfast dishes were between $9-$12. I had the "ten on ten" eggs which comes with their famous home fries, apple sauce and toast plus 2 eggs, bacon, ham, sausages, cretons and baked beans with a choice wafflle, french toast, pancake or plain crepe. I have to say that in my review of the menu items for this review, I realize now that I never received the baked beans. Anyhow, it's a dish of food. The home fries are very well seasoned, almost bordering on a tad salty but still good in small portions. Over easy eggs were cooked properly, no complaints on various pork products. The creton is a Quebec pork spread that's similar to pate - it was fine and likely laced with a ton of fat! The waffle was a highlight. Overall everything was as expected in a dish like that - presentation could be better. Their famous benedicts were fine as well. Tried the lox - Smoked salmon, red onions, chives, cream cheese and Hollandaise sauce with homefries, apple sauce and toast. The Hollandaise sauce was good. The breakfast items here are average, nothing stands out and nothing is offensive. A decent casual place that's suitable for most people to dine at. One thing I will warn you is that it gets hot in the restaurant due to its southern exposure. We had to move from our first table because the top window near the roof had no window treatments and was shining on us (on a cold winter day) like a laserbeam. I would also stay away from a window seat on a sunny day as they invested in pretty cheap window treatments which do not completely block the sun/heat. It's funny how they some windows had window treatments and some did not. It's not like the sun doesn't shine through one versus the next one.

    First time here and definitely will be back! The menu has way more breakfast options than anywhere else, and so many different items you wouldn't normally see. The prices are reasonable- my breakfast was $13 with 2 eggs,bacon,2sausages,breakfast potatoes,toast and half a belgian waffle with almonds and drizzled chocolate sauce....mmmmmmmm it was delicious and the portions are good as well! Service was really great. Food came out quickly and never had to wait or ask for a top up of coffee or water. Highly recommended!

    I've been wanting to try Ben & Florentine for quite sometime, and I'm super happy that I finally tried it today. I got the breakfast melt, it has eggs, Swiss cheese, roasted red pepper, chorizo and so much guacamole. It was really flavourful and very filling, it was pretty messy and hard to eat but the flavour made up for it. I also got the summer delight smoothie the taste was solid, but the texture was kinda grain. My sandwich came with fresh fruit and home fries, both where very good. The service was really fast, our food came in about 10 minutes, even though it was was really busy. Also the pricing was good for the amount of food you got, mine was about $15 and I took leftovers home. Overall I was very satisfied, and I would love to go back sometime soon.

    Avocado & cream cheese. Goat cheese added.

    Ben and Florentine Restaurant was busy and a good size for how busy it seemed and great for them. Kristine our server. She was supper friendly and attentive our table and not only us but every table around us. It's cheesy to say but her smile radiates the whole room and can start a guests' day on the right note. The menu is LARGE, wow sooo many options to choose from and that makes it good for large groups of people. If your getting a specialty coffee; get the bowl size. It's defiantly worth it and we didn't end up needing a refill of regular coffee, which our server was gonna do at no extra cost and that was just lovely.

    This is an awesome place to have brunch~ tasty, fresh, and clean. All the waitresses are nice and friendly. Will definitely go again and again.

    Ben and Florentine is an excellent place for brunch! They have excellent smoothies and a wide selection of healthy food! At my latest visit, we ordered the Apple and Cheddar Crêpe (caramelized apples, cheddar, almonds, caramel and whipped cream) and the Avocado Lox (eggs, guacamole, smoked salmon, capers, red onions on a 12-grain bread with fruit). We were very pleased with the healthy selection on the menu! The smoked salmon on the Avocado Lox was exceptionally fresh and the crepe was delicious. This place is typically very busy especially over the weekends. However, it is quite well staffed so even if your server is too busy to serve you, there's always someone else who is more than happy to take care of your table. The servers are friendly and the service is much better at Ben and Florentine than at Cora's. Overall, I would highly recommend Ben and Florentine!

    Unfortunately the hollandaise sauce tastes like powdered mix and has a dry texture instead of the rich, creamy sauce you'd expect.

For our entree's I had the beef tenderloin, my wife had pork tenderloin and my mother in law had a chicken linguini. My beef was cooked perfectly medium rare and was awesomely seasoned. The accompanying vegetables were great and I had an order of asparagus with bernaise. The bernaise was thicker than I expected but still had good flavour. My wife's pork was filled with apples and other things and wrapped in prosciutto. She said it was the best one of the best pork dishes she had. Lastly my mother in law really enjoyed her pasta We would all come back to The Gates for a special occasion in the future.
