I went with my partner a couple of months ago and we had okay service, but the food was late and cold. My partner's eggs weren’t cooked fully and the egg white was still dripping and gooey. For me, my pancake tasted like it was made an hour or two ago and left aside it had a weird taste. And as for my bacon, it was overly cooked and cold in the plate. It was breaking to the touch and not edible. We had a nice waitress but for the amount of people that were in the restaurant, which was 3 other tables, it took them a while to even get the plates out and with that time could’ve of made fresher and well cooked plates in my opinion.

Racist! This is first word I thought while writing this review. I don’t know the name of the waitress but she was pathetic. She asked $5 for using the washroom when we reached the restaurant. I mean how cheap! Later when we asked her to arrange table for 11 people she said that you have to call in advance and gave a weird look. So according to her, no one can make impromptu stop while on a long drive and feel hungry?

Me and my friends were travelling from Montreal to Ottawa and were looking for a good breakfast place. We ended up being waited on by the owner and she was the sweetest person we’ve spoken to on our trip. The food was outstanding. We enjoyed every bite and had leftovers to take home. Highly recommend this location if you’re travelling by it. Thank you so much !!

Excellent service, but the avocado toast with vegetable, less than average. Disappointing for 20$ soggy toast, avocado going brownish and bitter. Not many grilled vegetables to cover toast. So not great value…

Such a great location and good looking food! I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately the food came so so late and cold. To top everything off, there was a piece of hair in the avocado toast and bacon (specifically asked for no bacon) in our sandwich. The only saving grace were the potato fritters. Wouldn't be visiting again. Our server was on her first day of work and she was kind enough to replace the sandwich (although I assume the bacon was just taken out and the sandwich wasnt replaced) and they gave us a discount on our bill. We could see the manager eyeing us from afar but she never bothered to come and apologize or anything.

Unlike all the other good reviews, we did not have good service. The lady didnt listen to us. Too fast. She asks a question and doesnt wait for the end of the sentence. We seemed to disturb her. We werent many customers, maybe 6 or 8 max. We arrived at 2 p.m., others arrived well after us. The staff preferred to hurry up with their closing which they started at 2:25 p.m. We had to get up, put on our coats and ask for the bill for the waitress to come to us. Our plates were as if we were being served leftovers. In short, it was not a good experience at all. This doesnt make me want to go back at all.

Nice menu options, good and varied food. The waitresses were nice, but expeditious. It looked like they were circling around our table, rushing to pick up our plate. However, the restaurant was not full. Also quite ordinary is the fact of offering brown, white or household bread and then charging extra at the end for household bread without warning.

Very sad atmosphere, during the entire duration of my visit, the only concern of the waiters was whose turn the next customers would arrive, discussion on the sections and which waitresses would serve whom. We ask for a seat and we are refused because it is not in the section of the waitress whose turn it is, we are placed next to a noisy table of 6 and there are only two of us and no one else in the section All we hear about is that no follow-ups on order, no coffee refeel! Nothing pleasant!!!

A place that you cant see very well from the street, you should know that there is a restaurant hidden in this small hamlet of commerce in the indoor parking lot of the Starbucks and the TAU natural food store on Michèle-Bohec. .. I went there twice with a friend in April and I loved having lunch there! The service is impeccable and the food delicious! I highly recommend this place! Oh and they have a little terrace which is great when the weather is really nice!!

Of all places to have lunch. I love going to Ben and Florentine in Blainville. Always very clean, the servers are courteous and polite, the food is as requested (I am demanding with eggs and pancakes must not be on the same plate and my meats.....) despite my multiple requests. The price is comparable to other lunch restaurants, however you have more on your plate and I often receive good discounts which are very appreciated

December 21, 2023

I go to this restaurant often and we are always well received. Today we arrived at 2 p.m. (closing time 3 p.m.) and when I asked the waitress if we could eat she told us it was a little late but it would be okay.... In short we felt very bad and we left. I would have understood at 2:45 p.m. but 1 hour before closing I think its exaggerated. P

We have always been going to this place for quite a while. Always great service. And we missed you during the pandemic closure. Proud to invite friends who didnt know this restaurant, we arrived early and the coffee arrived... 17 minutes after our arrival. The waitress asked us what we wanted, we asked her for a menu because there were elderly people with us, she made the rather embarrassed remark to us that there were menus with scanners on the placemats and the table. She tells us that we should have told the first girl (good reception from this one by the way). We told her ok but we wanted one anyway, which she did. Then took our order and the rest went well until then ok. After paying, several minutes later she told us that she was expecting a large group. There was no one at the door. So we were shown the door. If there had been a line, we would have understood. We are not stupid. This waitress speaks quite strongly to other colleagues (experience experienced during our regular visits) and thats why we didnt want to be with this person but we didnt have that choice today. Ben and Florentine, Blainville you are excellent but disappointed with our visit today because of just one person.

(In times of pandemic) I came in one morning to order takeout and the waitress there dared to yell at me that I had to call in advance to order, asking me to leave aggressively and that I was irresponsible.. Wow! This was written absolutely nowhere that you only took orders by telephone. You can be sure that no one I know will ever set foot in a Ben & Florentine again! I immediately went to Pétinos next door... its funny I was able to order and even wait for my order inside without any insults..
