Chez Ben & Florentine, on redécouvre le goût de bien manger.
All was ok at first. The food was okay and the waitress brought us our food. I don't remember her name (Ashley maybe??) But she had blond hair and white Nikey shoes with a pink check mark on them. When we finished paying she told us that we did not give enough tips and was kind of rude about it. She insisted that we cannot leave until we gave her more tips and sais we owed her $20 more (like what?!). We were really not impressed about this. Worst service ever. We had to pay a seperate bill for her "bonus tip" and then she just left afterwards. Very unpolite. You don't beg for extra tips?? We then wanted to speak with the manger but they were not there. We spoke with the front attendant and she said to leave a review on google about this and said sorry for the service... nothing more without even asking us what had happened. Very insulting. Not going back. To those reading this, be ready to be obliged to leave $30 tip.
Stopped here on vacation and food was awesome, we ordered a skillet and eggs beeny. Both equally delicious. Coffee was pretty good too. Service was good.
Best toast that I ever had. Crunchy and soft at the same time. Great coffee. Good service.
Good food, great service always but this restaurant is literally a sauna. The last 3 times we’ve ate here it’s so uncomfortable. I wore a tank top in October to this restaurant and we were still over heating.
Great place for brunch. Lunch time during week days is just perfect as it's usually empty with good and fast service. Would have loved a tiny bitty more food per dish, but it was ok.
Recently went to this place for Brunch while was on vacation. Staff was welcoming, attentive and cooperative. We tried their Veggie Omelette, Breakfast Melt Sandwich and Bagel & Cream Cheese. Everything was delicious and fresh. Portion size was also great. They serve freshly brewed black coffee. Overall recommended place for Breakfast or Brunch in the area.
The presentation was amazing! The avocado toast was great! It was helpful that the waitress spoke English. However we asked for crepes and they brought pancakes. The waitress adviced that was the way the chef does 🤔🤔. Anyways, other than that the food was great!!
"Tasty!!!" Nice place for breakfast. Big portion, your hunger will be satisfied! Unfortunately, I must take 1 star off because the service was way too long the last time I went there.
Delicious brunch. The children enjoyed it too! Good value for money. Kid-friendliness: Yes
Hello, for my part, my sister and I really appreciated Émérikas service, her good humor, her kindness and her desire to serve us well, ensured that we will repeat this customer service experience in Val Bélair, c for sure!! Lets not forget that the food and the presentation of our dishes were a beautiful 5 star. Thanks to the cook and Émérika and also thanks to the kind Usher! Hélène and Line.
We only have one downside in fact and for the entire chain. We are talking about saving the planet everywhere and also trying to reduce food waste however there is no proposal for 1/2 portion or light menu. C. A. D ex: eggs benedict no choice 2 eggs $19.99 at the same price as for one but, we dont all have the same appetite. It would be a huge waste in our case even if it would only be $2. Or $3 less would already show a positive intention to show interest in food waste.
I am still satisfied with this place even after 4 years but an expansion sometimes would be a good idea especially when we see the popularity on weekends. Or otherwise seats to wait since there are a lot of elderly people
We took 2 plates for 3 and we had leftovers (well I dont have that big of an appetite). It was excellent!!!
I often go to Ben and Florentine, its my favorite restaurant, but when I went to Val Belair I was really disappointed. The waitress Karine was really unprofessional. When ordering we made a mistake on the name of a dish and when the waitress came to bring them to us we told her that it wasnt that and she replied: well thats what you got order I can bring you the card in an inappropriate tone we said ok well no problem we made a mistake. Some time later she comes by and asks us how things are going without waiting for our response she continues and asks the same sentence at the back table... a few minutes later we ask her for a glass of hot water to warm up the babys bottle. When she was little, she never brought it to us!! At the end she asked us if everything was ok and if we ate well we just had time to answer that it depended on who she said its not my fault and went to the kitchen... we asked what she comes to pay because she didnt come... really not satisfied with the waitress!!! I am disappointed with Ben and Florentine, I was used to better!
Food
I went there often and recommended the place several times before but oh well. The last time after the meal, the waitress came to the table and told me that yes here the tip was at least 15%, that yes thats how it happens, that I wasnt satisfied with her work ect I was very embarrassed, the customers were looking at me and according to my calculations I just rounded up the bill it represented 10-12% of the bill when I paid on the machine. My partner handed over a $20 bill because we were so shocked and uncomfortable. A tip seems to me to be not obligatory and the minimum 15% is a recommendation. If the waitress is brave enough to say it loud and clear to customers in the middle of service in a full room hum
Very good to return
Very good meal, and the waitresses are excellent
We wont be going back!
Good food, a bit pricey
Great food! Great spot
Saturday July 20, 2024, 12:17 p.m. - 53 mins wait before receiving our dish... A1 service and A1 taste.... Waitress didnt give any explanation when she served us, so, we asked, she said We didnt know that we would be busy....What, the restaurant is half full! Hey boss, you have a problem, find it!!!!! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5
Good food and good service Wheelchair accessibility: Parking near the front door
Great place, delicious lunch, adults and children will love it!
My favorite restaurant Dietary restrictions: Possibility of having lactose-free milk
Order to take away. In addition to being ready 25 minutes late, wrong order received. I call and they hang up on me. No supervisor on site, no one can make the decision to make another crepe and the manager will call me back during the day. Clearly it was my last visit to Ben and Florentine.
Pathetic service lacks respect for the customer
We are lunch lovers. The menu is varied and unique. We highly recommend. A++++
Geneviève served us well
Loyal customer with my little boy for several years but very disappointed with the latest experiences. Wait almost 20 Minutes when its you next and no one welcomes you, no smile or a simple hello it wont be very long its the basis in catering to welcome as it should and not miss them by ignorant all this time
Good restaurant good service welcoming staff I recommend
Too long wait for Lunch..3 tables arrived after us and we had their Lunch before and even a couple finished lunch and we didnt have our lunch yet.
Nice atmosphere, nice restaurant. Dont take gluten allergies into consideration, have gluten-free bread and thats it. Dont have gluten free potatoes? When I asked the waitress for a buckwheat crepe and if they could clean a small part of the griddle to reduce cross contamination, she told me it would take too long to do that for the whole thing. world and therefore that it was not possible (she did not go and ask the cooks either). So we left the restaurant, because no choice for me. No adaptation on the part of the restaurant and it is quite disappointing knowing that the vast majority of restaurants adapt, especially coming from a franchise restaurant.
Very disappointed, I asked for the brioche pan, received the maple one, no exchange dish offered. Good service but nothing more. Baby high chairs are filthy. Price too expensive for what it is...
Great place for lunch with fast, courteous services and excellent food with very good prices
The best lunch restaurant in Val-Bélair, by far!
Not edible. Bacon so thick salty and poorly cooked, even the eggs were overcooked. I had indigestion after your disgusting food.
Good brunch, the service is either excellent or really average depending on the time.
Still so good! Varied menu, very good portion for a big appetite and presence of a healthy menu! Kid-friendliness: Menu suitable for children, smaller portions.
Well filled plate and everything was to my taste Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to enter
Food: Good and beautiful presentation I received excellent service from a very smiling young lady named Sophie who assured me at 2 times that everything was going well. More than delighted! Common and correct lounge atmosphere.
No reservation possible. High prices compared to others. Ordinary food and not hot.
Impeccable service!
What we ate was delicious. The service was courteous.
When the waitress asks me if I ate well, I immediately reply I feel reborn, it was so good a combination of exceptional flavors, I will definitely come back.
Très mauvais et dispendieux pour un déjeuner bacon pa cuit et les assiette mal présenter Parking:
Its a great restaurant to go to with the family.
Very good...and impeccable service
Fast and courteous service. The food is excellent. Excellent quality/price ratio as well. I highly recommend.
Pear Benedictines... A delight French toast too. As well as the special baklava
Very good food
My best friend, my daughter and I were at the restaurant for brunch for my birthday. Sunday evening we started to feel nauseous. Monday, all three of us vomited!!! We were sick at the same time with the same symptoms. I called the restaurant. The person in charge filled out a form telling me that it could perhaps be Covid? Grrrrr! Neither my friend, nor my daughter, nor I have been in contact with a person who has Covid. And have the same symptoms at the same time? It s obvious we suffered from food poisoning. The three of us missed two days of work... and Ben and Florentine did nothing to compensate us. We will NEVER go to this restaurant again!
I would like to find less salty meal options. Otherwise, its very good. We were in the lunch rush and given the traffic, we were served quickly. Dietary restrictions: Less sodium
Kid-friendliness: Sièges pour enfants de disponibles Food
Good lunch, well stocked plate hot. coffee a little cold for my taste, good customer service, dont be in a hurry
I was served by someone named Kate on May 21, 2023. Impeccable and excellent service. Whats more, Im NEVER disappointed with what I order to eat, its always excellent and very well stocked.
The orange juice WOWWWWW, the lunch excellent. I recommend this restaurant. THANKS Wheelchair accessibility: Lack of parking for the disabled, you have to park far from the front door, especially in winter. Thank you this restaurant is excellent.
Exceptional food but terrible service, we were served by a young woman with an accent and dark glasses who rolled her eyes when asked for something. I even regret the meager tip I left him! Hoping that management meets with her so that she changes her attitude!
Very good but too expensive
Food ok. But not exceptional Kid-friendliness: Several suitable chairs available
Good breakfast. More choice. Fast and courteous service
Still very good. The service was good but we waited a long time at the entrance before being seated even though there were free tables and the employees walked past us avoiding looking at us. Otherwise, its always a pleasure and always delicious.
Great as always!
The waitress complained about the amount of the tip!
This is the first time I had lunch at the Ben et Florentine restaurant in Val-Belair. Impeccable service, excellent food, welcoming and warm atmosphere. I will definitely return to this place, because I really enjoyed my experience. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. France Descarreaux Parking: I moved on foot.
We are always satisfied with this restaurant with our little family. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. The new tacos on the menu are great! I hope they stay there ;)
Nice place for lunch following a visit to the Valcartier amusement park.
Good food with good table service! Smiling and friendly waitress. The service was fast. I recommend!
The food is excellent for their prices and good service. Not disappointed with the experience
Great service, very good waitresses. Tour was good. A little wait but its worth it!!!!
Excellent
The flavors are good but the crepe with chocolate and banana is not even half the banana and a big crepe for just a taste of banana I lose the taste for eating unfortunately! Attention is good! Thats all to say....
Wow! A stop before leaving! What a good choice! Best lunches ever! We were served by Morgane! Very good service!
The skillets are pretty good
A must never disappointed
The Béné Italian sausages are really so good..With their good smoothies. Always a delight.
Good restaurant for lunch, the portions are generous and tasty. I recommend
Lets just say that the extra $ Hollandaise sauce in a casserole dish is cheap Pamal... Especially for the small quantity he brings you when you ask for it lol but the little breakfast potatoes are so good. Pi lambience well... Me, depressive Quebec music on a Saturday morning doesnt really appeal to me haha but to each their own. I tried several plates to date and it made sense in general, like going to Normandin, for the same price range
Hello last Saturday we placed an order directly through Ben and Florentines website and will collect it take out. Until then everything is fine, we pay about $50 by credit card and we get lunch and come back to the house which is 5 minutes from the restaurant. What was really disappointing was the quality of the food in the dishes, no delicacy. I had a completely dry bagel, an old piece of salad and my partners bacon was not cooked. I definitely had the impression that I had been passed on old stock because in any case, delivery or take-out is not a bad thing to look like in the dining room, eh. I contacted the manager in place that day and offered me $5 hahaha and she told me that she couldnt do anything that I had to make a complaint online. Wowww how much we dont want to deal with the problem and pass the buck to someone else. I wrote the said complaint on their site and no news. Very disappointing
Alright!
The order is consistently wrong.
It was excellent!!
It took a long time to get seated and there were free tables... Also, at the price it costs, there should be more chocolate IN the crepe!
I went there with my partner and we had great service and excellent value for money!
Good food quality and satisfying portion. Waitress Ana Maria provided exemplary service: - Speed of service at all stages of the visit - Ensured the accuracy of the order - Impeccable courtesy I really enjoyed my experience.
Super good and the waitress was really nice to us. Even if a small mistake was made with few people in the dining room. Forgetting a detail can make a difference, but I dont hold it against the staff these days.
Good lunch, and quick service
Excellent service. Food as expected.
Overcooked eggs benedict... impeccable service
A treat.
Correct, but no more. My lunch was cold and the waitress was OK but nothing more.
Very good service
Great poutine breakfast, a real treat
Great service, lunches are excellent. Big thumbs up to the team!
Nice welcome, good humor, very good service, it was a lunch in good company to mark my birthday. I highly recommend this restaurant without any fear!
Fast service and good food. Extra Hollandaise sauce a little cheap
They will NOT try and comodate you, when they say replace bacon with turkey bacon, it means turkey bacon on the side, and pork bacon on your plate. They can not even replace your potatoes with fruit. They just want to push you through, management sub par.
Fast service and delicious lunch! A little expensive but very good!
Thanks to Daniel for the service!
The vegetable skillet was excellent, as was their Smores hot chocolate. I will return with great pleasure!
Very good and generous plate.
We had an amazing breakfast experience! Our waitress spoke great English which made it easier for us as English speakers.
Excellent assistance! Beautiful presentation, the staff is very nice but not 5 stars because we waited almost 10 minutes and there were at least 6-7 empty tables already ready but no one showed us a table to sit on! They looked at us but did nothing.
Very nice place with delicious food. Big choice of food so every picky child can get something to eat. Staff vas very helpful and friendly.
Correct
I went on July 4th very nice waitress with a smile and what service thank you
Horrible service (slow and pitiful)
Delicious, economical.
Acceptable food and adequate service, easy parking. Varied menu. Parking: Vast Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Place always crowded at the end of the week after 10 a.m., errors in orders are very frequent. The weekday service really leaves something to be desired, we waited more than 15 minutes before we could pay, even though there was almost no one in the restaurant. The renovations that have been made are disappointing, the terrace which was so pleasant is no longer in use and no additions other than purely decorative have been made from the customers point of view. If you have the choice go elsewhere .
Our server was amazing. Great service, hearty and delicious lunch. Always a pleasure to go there with family or friends! :-)
Excellent lunch, incredibly well structured staff!
The best eggs benedict I have eaten, Bruno the waiter was courteous and very kind to my son, we will definitely come back
I would give 6 stars if I could. Friendly and fast service, tasty food, big portions.
Definitely in my top 3 breakfast poutines!
Perfect as usual. The service is impeccable and very professional.
Excellent service and very very good
Very good, very clean restaurant, recommended
I go there regularly and I always have excellent service, with smiling and pleasant staff. The food is always delicious and generously portioned. Just positive!
Nothing to say
Ordered from DoorDash and there wasn t any dasher after an hour. I called the restaurent if they could at least remake the food so I could come grab it fresh. They refused to do anything / couldn t get refunded from DoorDash. Wasted 25$ :)
Service could be faster but everything else is very good!! THANKS
Excellent service, waitress very attentive to our order, plates arrived very quickly. Pan-fried are good but too dry and too many potatoes. It s a fried potato first with other things. We had heartburn afterwards.
Despite the popularity of the place today and a good big queue, we were nevertheless very disappointed with the lunch served. It was my 3rd time and the last because the 3 times assistant was bitter, cold and this time dry. I dont like the quality of the lunches served, Normandin is worth much more than Ben & Florentine. Very disappointed but the quality of service was there, hats off to the waitress Dietary restrictions: I told them about my allergy and they took special care
Very warm service and atmosphere. The food is excellent as always. Plus, today for Halloween we got a bag of candy even though we didnt have kids with us. I thought it was a very nice touch on their part. I highly recommend.
Always a good lunch restaurant! Good service! Kid-friendliness: High chair
Lunch Sunday morning, service a little long but thats normal for a Sunday morning. Lack of decoration for the restaurant, its a cold atmosphere but my meal exceeded my expectations. Excellent
Good food, fast and courteous service.
Excellent service, its rare I get my toast as toasted as I asked haha. Food is good, portions are good for the price. Clean and accessible. Very happy to go there as often as possible. THANKS!
Always good and best value for money for lunch
Still so good!
Great lunches and at a good price... Especially the early bird lunches!
I place a take-out order, she tells me it will be ready in 15 minutes, I arrive in 20 minutes and she tells me they havent even started it...
