I do not recommend this place. The dish did not come as shown on the menu, poor fruit and to pay more than 20 dollars per dish 😕

Ben and Florentine's was an excellent choice for breakfast. The menu features a variety of sweet and savory options, giving you plenty of choices depending on your preferences. I have a food allergy, and our server was very helpful to ensure that my food was prepared to keep me safe. The portion sizes were very large, and everything was very tasty. The restaurant had a very modern feel and was very clean. I highly recommend Ben and Florentine's if you are looking for a great breakfast!

Best Canadian breakfast and service I’ve had

February 6, 2023

Food was great! However..... The waitress we had at 11:00 to 11:30 was rude and threw the bill at us when we payed because she wasn't happy with her tip. All service she was not smiling and never came to check how things were going. I don't know what happened in her day before work but me and my girlfriend were being very polite so I was bothered that she threw the bill back at us without saying goodbye. Now I'll think twice before bringing my girlfriend here for a meal.

This breakfast place is very quick and caring. They forgot one item on one of my previous orders but they made sure to include the item on my next order and even gave me more stuff for free. In the current economic climate where there’s price hike on food, vegetables, fruits and more, they still find it important to keep the customer happy, and so for that, thank you for your humanity. I recommend this breakfast place for sure. You can dine in, do take out or delivery.

I have been to many Ben and Florentine locations in the past and this is the first time that I have been very disappointed. First, my tea arrived and there was a lip print (pink lipstick) on the mug, in the middle of a pandemic, really? When our breakfast finally arrived, let's say my eggs Benedict did not look like the one advertised on the place mat. It did not look appetizing at all. There was way too much Hollandaise sauce and the consistency was way too thick and it coagulated. Next, the spinach was not even cooked, not blanched. Plus, an egg yolk was missing! When I cut into one of the English muffins, the runny egg yolk was on one side only. The other side was just egg white, no yolk. Come on! Is that why it was covered in so much sauce so I would not notice? Unfortunately, I will never come back to this Ben and Florentine.

We had been to eat a few times and it was good, but our visit this weekend was our last visit. We ordered two plates of avocado bacon benedicts. The lawyers were all blackened. I understand that sometimes they can be older, but these were really all black. Our eggs were not runny at all and there was almost no Hollandaise sauce. When my partner mentioned that he found it a shame to have such black avocados, the waitress, a little angry, replied that it was normal for there to be a little black sometimes. We didnt eat them because they werent pretty. My partner also found 2 hairs on his plate. In short, its the last time for us.

Beautiful decoration, good food but my god the hostesses have two fingers in their noses! Several free tables but we look at them for at least 15 minutes before being able to sit down I would have liked to give at least 4 stars but for the lack of competence at reception, I feel generous with my 2 stars! Be prepared to wait a long time for a seat even if there are several available! For us, even though there were only 4 of us and no one was waiting before us, it was a wait of 18 minutes before sitting at the empty table that we had been looking at from the beginning!! And it was the waitress who had to take care of it too!! Well done hostesses

April 21, 2024

We arrived at the restaurant at 11. We knew we were going to wait given the time but not that long! It was 11:22 and the waitress hadn t even come to see us yet! When she finally came I told her we were ready to order she denied us that option because she had other tables before us. We received our meal around noon and it was cold to finally come out after 12:30 it just doesnt make sense!

We come here 2-3 times a month and this morning it was very disappointing the way we were made to feel. Error in the order of the waitress, Julie by name, who recognized her error; we wanted the special maple 3 meat French toast in a pan, instead we got the maple extra green pepper pan . When asked to change our plates, the waitress refused, saying that she would have to pay for 2 more plates!!!!! Thank you for making us feel important to loyal customers... We wont be coming back soon, thats for sure.

The dishes on the menu are different from the usual breakfast restaurants. The eggs benedict were too coated with the hollandaise sauce. Too much sauce is like not enough. My croque monsieur was excellent. I wont go back but some people will like this restaurant. $40 for two + tip (+ a Latte). The waitress was friendly.

Perfect service, waiting around 30 minutes before receiving the plates in a crowded restaurant. The food was pretty good but for the eggs benedict, they could have been a little less cooked so that they finished cooking directly on the plate. The yolk was not runny.

Service much too long, first plate brought to our table after 45 minutes of waiting. The last person served at our table had to wait another 30 minutes to receive their plate. The waitress started something and forgot what she was doing so she wouldnt come back. Cold food once served without mentioning the mistakes that were made. We ask the waitress for a plate of banana and egg turned and the waitress brings us a plate with banana and scrambled egg. First time at ben & florentine and the last.

The food is correct and the prices are respectable. On the other hand, it very often happens that the service leaves something to be desired on weekday mornings. The waitresses waste a lot of time chatting or doing I dont know what in the kitchen and often we run out of coffee or its difficult/takes a long time to get their attention if something is wrong or if we want to pay.

Firstly the actual rating is 4.5 stars out of 5 stars! The lunches are delicious! Varied choices and often new products! The cocktail Amaretto, gin, cranberry and orange juice, one of the cocktails for summer, is excellent! The sweet-salty combo with the caramelized apple waffle is delicious! Tropical green tea is very good! I was told that the strawberry , banana , chocolate and custard crepe was tasty! The 2 small problems: 1. the quantity of potatoes and bacon is really too big! and 2. be more vigilant when it comes to cooking, sometimes the bacon and sausages are overcooked!

December 21, 2022

Chocolate banana crepe = small drizzle of chocolate on top, nothing else, very dry and not very tasty result. Bacon and sausage = cold. Waitress service was poor. Did not speak to us after taking our orders. Didnt ask if it was to our liking and left the bill without saying anything. In short, I do not recommend this restaurant as much for the taste experience as for the customer experience.

Lunch Saturday morning around 10:00 a.m. Warm welcome and a beautiful smile from the hostess. Very quick service and coffee served within a minute of being seated. Order taken about 3 minutes later with coffee already added. Thats service. Received our plates about 8 to 10 minutes after ordering. Hot and very tasty meal with the addition of coffee two more times during lunch. Smiling and efficient waitress. I highly recommend Ben and Florentine from Candiac.

This morning we visited Ben & Florentine (Candiac) for the first time since August 30, 2020 (we normally go there several times a month ). This morning was like seeing family again after several long months. We immediately felt the same atmosphere that we like so much. We were very happy to see our favorite waitress, Julie. Julie, we thank you for helping to ensure that each of our visits are more than perfect. You impress us every time and over time, we have come to consider you a true friend. We love chatting with you about whats going on in our respective lives ;) Thank you for everything! Also note that all the members of the Candiac team are exceptional and the menu is exquisite! This morning, our son spilled his smoothie all over the bench seat and floor. The employees mobilized to help us pick up and everything was clean in less than 2! In addition, they were quick to make a new smoothie for our son, without us asking. Ben & Florentine Candiac is by FAR our favorite restaurant. Well see each other again very soon and above all, OFTEN! THANKS ! Mélissa, Sébastien and Gabriel

I wont be returning to this restaurant. For the first time in 6 years in Québec province I am so disappointed of the food served. My rating is 2 stars, not 1, only because the staff was friendly and it is not their fault that the food is not good. The menu contains beautiful advertising photos, nothing to do with your plate. I ordered a breakfast from the healthy choice section, I received a plate with 2 eggs soaked in water and vinegar, some fruits, 2 pieces of cheese. Somehow incomplete plate. On aside: 2 pieces of sandwich bread, toasted. We also had some concers with how unclean the plates sides and cuttlery looked.

December 21, 2020

Me and my boyfriend love b&f restaurants and every week order from there. Whether it be dining in or take out I am continuously disappointed with this particular branch , whether it be poor service, mistakes made in our orders I have always been left unsatisfied after going there... sad because I do love the food **EDIT** Decided to give it another shot today because we are very limited in choices for takeout in our area... we ordered over there and waited for our order, while we were waiting we noticed one of the cooks with his masks completely under his chin?? Also my boyfriend had asked for only bacon in his meal and when we got home they had given him all different meats.. suffice to say once again I am disappointed, if it were only for the mistakes in our meals I would be able to live with it and double check before leaving the restaurant but to see the cook completely disregard the sanitary measures put in place that just completely shut me down for good sadly...
