We've tried to sit outside, but it was going to rain so they close the outside and we sat inside at one of the only four person tables in the front of the restaurant. We were given water and our drink order was taken so quickly. The hot oat maple matcha latte was really good and my friends drank their coffee. I heard that the hot chocolate was very rich and creamy. We found some vegan options on the menu and the falafel was nice and crunchy. I tried the avocado toast and some of the other dips which were so yummy. The bread was thick and crunchy. Everything seems really fresh and had a cute presentation. Thank you!!

I decided to go to Ben & Florentine on August 6, 2021 for a late breakfast or brunch…read more I arrived and went inside and waited in the front area to be seated. When someone finally saw me, I was asked to put my name and phone number on a piece of paper for Covid-19 tracking purposes (in case of an outbreak). I was seated and asked if I wanted some coffee which I answered yes. I was given a French menu but because I noticed that they had English menus in the front, I asked if I could get an English menu as it simplifies the ordering process for me (even though I speak/understand French). I decided what I wanted to have and ordered it. I would say that service is a bit on the slow side. There were only 2 wait staff and 1 "helper" (who showed people to their seats and cleaned the tables when customers left). I finished 2 cups of coffee before my order arrived. At the time that I showed up, the restaurant was probably 80% full so I would say that it was pretty busy for only 2 servers. Just like at another breakfast restaurant that I went to recently, there was a lot of food in the plate that I ordered and the coffee refills were included in the meal. I don't remember the name of the plate that I ordered but it consisted of 2 eggs (which I ordered sunny-side up), 2 pieces of toast, some cubed seasoned fried potatoes, some pork sausages, some bacon, French toast with fruit (strawberry slices and banana slices) & chocolate on it, some apple sauce, and a slice of orange). The 2 eggs weren't cooked as well as I would have likely since close to the yolk there was noticeable uncooked egg white. The bacon was very good and crispy. I liked the pork sausages. The cubed seasoned fried potatoes was okay. This place has free WiFi but you need to ask the wait staff for the password. At first I was given the incorrect password but when my server returned, she gave me the correct password.

I've never been to this location before but it's my favourite.

I went on a Monday afternoon so that does impact how busy it was so keep that in mind but otherwise I recommend if you're in the area!

I was disappointed with my trip, considering last time I went (many years ago) I rated it 5 stars…read more Service was good, the waitstaff were attentive but they all seemed to mysteriously disappear when the bill was due. The food was normal. We got eggs with a crepe and french toast. Could be duplicated at home but overall tasty (if a bit bready). I will note that there was no seasoning at all, so be prepared to season it yourself (except the mashed potatoes which were delicious). Also, they charge extra for maple syrup and do not include it with the crepe meal. The milkshake was watery and warm, definitely not worth the $8. Also, the water in the restaurant was not working at all when we went (there were no signs to indicate this, and they didn't let us know until we tried to wash our hands and asked). They also had no hand sanitizer in any of the 3 dispensers. Overall it was okay, but I wouldn't go again and would recommend finding a different place.

I…read moreusually go for eggs Benedict when traveling if it is available, and all the varieties it can come in. In this case I had a cup of their coffee, along with a pineapple mimosa (mimosa ananas), along with the Béné Joe Fan de Viande, which is basically a meat-lovers eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was on point, and there were indeed plenty of meats to love. The ambiance was also great, with brickwork in the modern industrial renovation style that places have, in an open, airy space. I'd describe it as "jaunty fun". The service was great. We were able to get a table promptly, and the wait staff were an appropriate amount of attentive without being pushy. No issues or complains here.

Saturday morning in Montreal began with something called an Adventure Walk. "Adventure" is…read moreapparently human terminology for making a small Italian Greyhound exercise extensively before brunch. By the time we finished with our walk, I had earned a meal. Or so I thought. Next stop: Maman in Griffintown. Mom already knew Maman because apparently they have one back home on the Upper East Side. Yet somehow, despite living on the Upper East Side myself, I have never been taken there. Interesting. We will address this upon our return to New York. The Griffintown location has a really nice outdoor seating area running alongside the building, with blue café tables, big wooden pergolas and planters. Under normal circumstances, this would have been perfect for me. Unfortunately, it was raining. The staff very kindly told Mom and Dad that I could come inside as long as I remained in my carrier. Terms accepted. After an entire morning of adventuring, I had absolutely no objection to being carried around like important cargo. Mom ordered eggs Benedict and an iced latte. Dad went with scrambled eggs, bacon and toast plus a Diet Coke. I stayed tucked inside my carrier and monitored the bacon situation. Very closely. No further comment at this time. The humans declared brunch a success, and I appreciated having a warm, dry place to recover after my morning excursion instead of sitting outside contemplating my life choices in the rain. Dogba's verdict: 3 paws out of 5. Rainy-day hospitality: very appreciated Dogba welcome: kind and accommodating Carrier accommodations: cozy Outdoor patio: saving this for a sunnier day Mom's eggs Benedict: big success Iced latte: Mom approved Dad's bacon: closely monitored Classic Dad breakfast: successfully demolished Post-adventure recovery: excellent Dogba brunch supervision: impeccable Would I return? Absolutely. In fact, I've recently learned that Maman has a location in my own neighborhood in New York City. Mom has some explaining to do. See you on the Upper East Side, Maman. I know where you live now.

we managed to squeeze in one more brunch on our last day, making our way to maman in griffintown…read more walking in felt like stepping into a little rustic farmhouse tucked into the city, exposed brick, weathered wood, whitewashed furniture, vintage blue and white plates, hanging greenery and a beautiful tree like arrangement covered in delicate blooms. every corner had a story, with little details that made the space feel warm, inviting and effortlessly charming. we were a party of three and arrived around 11:00 am. before the food arrived, i couldn't resist trying one more fun drink before leaving montreal, the peach pie iced matcha latte with vanilla cloud. it was such a pretty seasonal creation, with fruity peach notes layered with creamy matcha and topped with a soft vanilla cloud. refreshing, a little indulgent and the perfect drink to sip while settling into our final brunch of the trip. for my meal, i ordered the eggs ratatouille, stewed eggplant, squash, peppers and tomatoes topped with two over easy eggs, herbed feta and served with toasted country bread. the dish was colourful, comforting and full of fresh flavours. the slow cooked vegetables gave it a homey feel, while the runny yolks and herbed feta added just the right amount of richness. it felt like the perfect brunch after days of exploring, satisfying and flavourful, but still light enough to leave me feeling good. the toasted country bread was perfect for scooping up every last bit of the vegetable mixture and egg yolk. but what made this brunch special wasn't just the food or the beautiful setting. it was the chance to slow down and take in everything we had experienced over the whirlwind trip, the neighbourhood walks, incredible meals, rainy adventures, festival memories and all the unexpected little discoveries along the way. we sat, chatted and laughed, replaying our favourite moments and realizing just how much we had packed into a few short days. our server was friendly and never rushed us, allowing us to enjoy those final conversations before heading home. there was something cinematic about that last morning, sunlight filtering through the windows, flowers blooming indoors, plates arriving at the table, and three friends taking a quiet moment to appreciate the adventure before it came to an end. a beautiful space, a memorable meal, great company and one final chapter to close out our montreal adventure. au revoir montreal...until we meet again.
