Good food, good service. We ordered the Firebarns bourbon & bacon cheeseburger and the Omelette of the day. Both meals were delicious! Great portions.

We are a family of 4( kids aged 6-8) always go to Ben et florentine in La prairie it’s close to our house. The menu is good with lots of choices but prices are on the expensive side. We pay on average 70$ with no special drinks. It’s on the expensive side. Also it’s been 2 times I go and there is hair in my food. Very disappointed the kitchen needs to be cleaner. On the service side, our waitress was very good

The service was quite good. Our waitress was very attentive and efficient, always making sure our coffee cups were topped-off etc . The food, although nothing to complain about, was only slightly better than average. With many similar breakfast restaurants around, it is hard to STAND OUT unless one innovates and keeps one step ahead of the competition 😉

3 of us from work went for breakfast before a day of training. It was the 1st time for 2 of us and we loved it! Service was great, friendly and the food was fast and fresh. I took the avocado toast with poached eggs and it was perfect for a light breakfast. Loooved the smoothie bowl included and the choice of cheese side. Definitely recommend!

Above average selection. The potatoes are great. Went a few times, never had anything to complain about. Expect around 15$ per person.

I’ve came multiple times and each time the food was amazing. The staff is very friendly and the wait for the food is in between 5 & 15 minutes depending on how many people you are. Prices are not too high and the food is great quality. I would definitely recommend this place!

Im not going to beat around the bush. We ordered a waffle with fresh fruit and custard as well as an apple pancake. The vast majority of our plate was cold. I ordered poached eggs (the only item that was hot), and my friend ordered scrambled eggs which looked like spaghetti (you can judge by the photos). She ordered bacon, which was not crispy but very soft. As for me, I had sausages, which, if you hadnt guessed, were also cold . If you like paying $30 for food that is cold and doesnt look like what you ordered, this is the place.

In my personal opinion, it is the best place in La Prairie for lunch, very courteous staff and pleasant atmosphere

The kitchen is not fresh. For the avocado toast, the salmon had an aftertaste, not fresh. The green smoothie, milk was outdated. We had food poisoning.

The service, just wow! Even though it was really busy, the waitress was always there for our needs, even the most childish (like having pencils and papers to draw ). However, for several plates, there were a few little things that bothered us. For example, one of the plates were really empty, very disappointing. Thats it for me

This restaurant is a reflection of the owner. A man of bad taste, pretentious and cowardly. Please dont attack the employees, they only listen to their manager who should never have had to manage restaurants in the first place. As for food, I go to Saint-Jean and I recommend it. if you want good quality on your plate and cant stand a place where the man in charge is on vacation 1 week out of 2 with your money Good luck B&F La prairie

My husband and I have been going to this restaurant for years, we used to love it here, the food was amazing, the service and the portions. In the last 2 months everything has gone down hill. All of a sudden, the service is awful and long, the portions are tiny they give max 10 potatoes, the food isnt amazing anymore, they dont even spread the avocado on the toast anymore, it seems very sloppy and overpriced for the quality. Unfortunately, we will be changing restaurants. (Photo was taken before he started eating)

I often go to lunch there with my sister or family and today there was a small incident with my nephews and my brother (brother has a disability and is quite reactive) he grabbed one of the waitresses not the sweater after a little loss from our family (he doesnt understand that this isnt happening.) and the girls were very gentle and understanding towards him and quickly helped us clean up the mess! A big thank you to your team, and sorry again for the strong reaction of my brother. We greatly appreciate your calm and patience with the situation!

A beautiful little restaurant to share a romantic lunch on the weekend

December 22, 2022

My wife and I visit your restaurant at least once every 2 weeks for lunch. Your service today was ATROGIC. You assigned us a table. We ordered a yogurt for my wife, and a bagel for me. After 1h30min of waiting, we lost our patience and left the place. All the tables around us were served AFTER we arrived, and they all received their food. After 6 years of visiting this restaurant at least 2x a month, its time to find a different restaurant.

I had the bacon and avocado pan. It was excellent! Very large portion though, I took about a third home. My friend took the club. Also a big portion and lots of lovely fresh fruit. The unlimited coffee service was perfect. Only downside, I had my 8 month old baby and the high chair does not have a shelf and it is too low compared to the table. I had difficulty getting him to eat. They should also open more than just a bathroom, especially when you need to change a babys diaper. It creates a wait for nothing. Despite everything, a pleasant and well-appreciated lunchtime.

We always go to Allo mon coco at dix30 where the service is always impeccable. This morning, we decided to do something different and encourage another business. There are 4 of us arriving, we ask for a bench, we are seated there. So far, no problem. The lady in charge or the manager comes to tell us that we cant stay on the bench because we dont respect the 2m?!?! There is no table to our right and the one to our left serves as a storage area for utensils, coffee supplies, etc. We try to explain, but this charming lady tells us that if were not happy, we can leave... Well you know what??? Our lunch at allo mon coco was totally delicious, we had good service and we now know that we will NEVER try Ben et Florentine de La Prairie AGAIN....

My boyfriend and I always choose Ben&flo when it comes to choosing a restaurant for lunch. This morning we went to Laprairie and my boyfriend had the same plate he usually has (pan-fried with maple). After 10-15 minutes, he started feeling sick and went to the bathroom to throw up all his lunch. (Note that we were doing really well before we arrived at the restaurant) When he came back, we told our waitress about the situation since this is literally the first time this has happened to him in one of these restaurants. The waitress started laughing and asked us Did you brush yesterday? » to finally tell us that she cant credit us because its not her problem if my boyfriend threw up his plate... Quite ordinary to have to pay for a $16 plate that ended up directly in the bathroom trash can. PU NEVER

Go to the one in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, to which I give 5 stars! The one in La Prairie is really not as good! The potatoes in my casserole were mushy, the egg was dry and overcooked, and the service was slow. The waitresses literally drag their feet and there is even one who leans on the table while she takes orders from customers while in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, the waitresses run everywhere and offer unparalleled service! Really disappointed with my visit, waste of money

Ive been going there for some time, but this morning, I came across moldy toast... I said to myself, how could such a thing happen in a breakfast restaurant? How does bread have time to go moldy when a restaurant serves lunch several times a day? How can I ensure that the food served is of quality... unfortunately this has taken away my desire to go back...
