| - My fiancé and I were in Oakville around brunch and decided to find somewhere for brunch. I typed gluten free into yelp (ahh, trusty yelp!) and we decided to try out Ben and Florentine. Didn't have many reviews but the few it had were great!
The restaurant was super busy (always a good sign!) but we were approached right away. I asked if they had a specific gluten free menu, and the owner said she would take care of us :)
The menu had a gluten free section - including buns! And bread! But she told me that almost anything on the menu could be made gluten free.
I decided to order a gfree breakfast sandwich - it had ham, egg, tomato, Swiss cheese and lettuce, all on a gfree bun that was so soft and delicious! It came with potato latkes that were so good I almost threw up from forcing them down after I was full because they tasted so good (no, I don't practice moderation). My fiancé had "Big Ben" which had bacon, sausage, ham, eggs, toast and hash browns. The portion sizes were very generous and we both left full and I still had half of my sandwich left over!
The prices weren't low, but I'd say maybe a little higher if not on par with Cora's. They had a ton of variety, the staff was happy, cheerful and pleasant and the clientele was even great. A lot of young families. I can say without a doubt that we will be back, many many times in the future!!
