Came here for a quick eat before heading home in the States. So this place reminds me of a better IHOP or a breakfast Applebees. The hostess led us to our table and gave us menus. But we didn't speak French so 3 out of 4 menus were in French. But it's okay, cause we can just look at the pictures. (haha) We asked for 3 English menus when our waitress came. It's quite a big menu with various breakfast things. There is a lunch part if you are here for lunch. I got a traditional eggs benedict, which was portioned very well. It tasted pretty average. Hollandaise wasn't heavy, which is good. I felt like our waitress kind of disappeared at the end of our meal, but that might because they tucked us in corner. It was fine, she came and checked up on us.
Ben & Florentine is definitely one of the better chain restaurants that I've been to. The place is clean and bright. I like it, but the food could use a little work.
Aside: This has nothing to do with the restaurant, just in Montreal in general. Do most restaurants in Montreal carry the change around so they don't have to go back to a cashier? I just found that interesting.
