Ben & Florentine

Our server was great in helping me choose a menu item as well as keeping my coffee cup full. Consistently great restaurant.

We love coming here for brunch. The service is always pleasant and fast. We always try different things when we’re here and they’re very consistent, it is delicious! There are so many things to choose from in their menu and they always have specials available for a limited time. I wish they would open past 3pm. I could eat breakfast in the evening too!

Similar to a Cora's restaurant. I don't particularly see a difference, although others do. Menu is not as nice as Cora's in my opinion (more limited). Prices are similar, expensive. Server and host were both very friendly and helpful.

Food was delicious and we got the donuts on the side for a sweet treat and they were so good! They were crispy on the outside, but light and fluffy on the inside. Definitely recommend them for your next visit!

We didn't have any reservations, but there are many seats available. Waited patiently as the servers were just looking at us, no one is approaching us while we wait so after a few minutes of waiting we walked to the nearest server to us and pointed to the table that we wanted to seat. After doing his finishing touches on the table.we are finally seated.

It was our first time here, the food was amazing, our server end up being good as well but not the best first time great experience.overall I would still like to come back because of the food! Love the food, that's for sure!

Me and My friend had brunch here~
Food was delicious and loved my smoothie, it was so refreshing! The price were reasonable.
Would recommend!

The food was flavourful, and the portions were a bit small. There was a wait time of 25 minutes, but it was worth the wait. I would go back but wouldn't be my first choice.

Came to this Ben & Florentine for the first time, the service was so great — our waitress was so uplifting and positive, was a lovely time at Ben & Florentines!
I ordered one of the three egg omelets with avocado, bacon and Swiss cheese! — was very tasty! Would love to be back, would just prefer faster service a bit!
Come check this location out, Winniepgers!

B & F gave us the worst food. I order the bourbon and bacon bbq burger. The bun was burnt too much that it contaminated the burger taste. The sandwich we ordered was also burnt. Upon complain B&F did not do anything but gave a sorry face.

My good friend and I are regulars at B & F on Kenaston. We love this restaurant, however today we were extremely disappointed with the service from our server. Mingi, did not greet us, show any sort of interest or enthusiasm when speaking to us. I asked about substituting an item, and was met with “no”. He did not offer any alternative suggestions, just said no and stared. He did not check in with us after receiving our food (which was great, as it always is!), and we had to ask other servers for water refills due to his neglectful presence at our table. Quite disappointing as we love this restaurant and always leave feeling very taken care of.

I went here for brunch with friends and the omelettes and eggs benedict were pretty good. Pretty busy for brunch on a weekend.

Foos was great and came pretty fast! Our waitress was very nice, but we didn't feel she was very attentive. This place is always busy and full, so if you're looking for a quiet spot, maybe try something else.

I had bacon and carmalised apple eggs Benedict and my wife had the salmon lox ones that came with home fries potatoes and fresh fruit. Our youngest had the kids s’mores crepes and our teenager had chocolate banana crepes combo plate that was huge! We ended up giving some to our youngest and still had leftovers.

Everything was tasty.

Service was slow but there were I on two servers for the restaurant and it went from us being one of the first people there to having people waiting to get in.

The server apologized but I told her it wasn’t her fault.

Also had the bowl of cappuccino and it was good. The cocoa powder on top was a nice touch.

Awesome for breakfast. Huge portions and very filling.

And yes, great service by the staff.

Ben and Florentine’s is one of my favourite restaurants for breakfast/brunch. It is consistently very good for both food and service. The menu offers a large variety of delicious options, but I usually order the avocado toast with crumbled bacon and goat cheese or Eggs Benedict. On my most recent visit I ordered the Eggs Benedict Florentine, and it was very tasty! As per usual, a generous portion size was served hot, and the server was friendly and attentive. Overall, a great dining experience as usual! As for the atmosphere, aesthetics are fine, but it is usually packed to capacity which can make for a rather loud dining experience. I’m willing to overlook that though because the quality of the food and service is so good!

Family has been on an eggs Benny taste test this year across Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Ben and Florentine are the Manitoba Champs so far, Eggs Benny was awesome, came out hot, portions size was huge. Our server Jaclyn was super cool, and cheerful. Would go again

As usual our server was great, the food was delicious, and we were seated very quickly. All the staff at Ben & Florentine are focused on providing their clients the best experience possible.

I tried a different option for lunch today and it was as good as all the others that I have tried here. As always service was fantastic.

Food was good service was a little slow could use improvement keep up the good work strive for a better customer experience

The food is amazing here! I love the skillets and my daughter loves the egg benedict! I wish the atmosphere felt more local and represented the local people that it serves. I realize it is an international company but still think that they could do more to represent the local people they serve. If the food wasn't so good I wouldn't go back.

First time @ Ben & Florentine, it was AMAZING! We decided to go out for Brunch as a little anniversary outing, I got the Ten on Ten, & my partner got the Italian sausage + siracha skillet!
The food is delicious and priced fairly, portions are generous but not HUGE!
They put enough hollandaise sauce to cover your entire plate.
They seemed to struggle knowing how to make over medium eggs, but most places do. My eggs were over runny!
I was not a huge fan of the super crispy bacon but I should have asked for it medium.
My Partner said his Skillet was perfect!
The atmosphere is very busy, given we went on a Sunday @ 11: 30.
Very packed space you have to squeeze between tables at some points, inadvertently touching other peoples tables as you walk past…I think they should lessen the amount of tables they have to allow for a more comfortable environment & to allow it not to be so loud.
Service was quick & our server (and the host) was very kind, didn’t chitchat or try to upsell anything, he also left us alone and let us eat instead of continuously checking on us, which I appreciate.
Ordered a side of cottage cheese and they give it to you is a little sauce container, definitely recommend they serve a little more of a side than that.
Drink menu is limited, they don’t serve fountain drinks, only cans. Bottomless fountain drinks would be a bonus!

This was our first time here and it was easily the best breakfast place we've tried in Winnipeg and maybe anywhere (we've traveled around the world). We enjoyed this more than The Original Pancake House and IHOP in Winnipeg. Also better than Denny's and Smitty's. We haven't tried other breakfast places in Winnipeg. TOPH and IHOP have this beat hugely in terms of atmosphere and decor, but not in food IMHO.

Our server was very busy as someone had called in sick, but she was lovely and attentive. We were there during the Saturday breakfast rush (9am) but easily found seating for 4 and our food came out incredibly quick.

My meal (the first picture) was sooooo delicious and unique. The Old-fashioned Ham & Cheese Curds Skillet. It was described as: "Shredded old-fashioned ham, mixed peppers, red onions and cheese curds. Covered with a mix of Hollandaise sauce and pure maple syrup. "

Ohhh it was good. Not remotely healthy but fun for every now and then. Our entire party thoroughly enjoyed their meals and we will return.

My sister and I were not impressed by the cleanliness of the food we were serviced. (Both were on our cantaloupes and eggs).

This has not happened to me before and I have been coming to this location often. Not entirely sure if it is someone’s dog hair or improper wear of hair nets.

I don’t recommended to go to this location.

Great place for breakfast. Could do with a bigger location as they get very busy and then you end up being rushed to leave by their dine and dash policy

This has become my daughter & my special "break-ee" place. I can't say enough of the high quality, tasty offerings this restaurant has. Service is FFF (fast, friendly & fun). U r made 2 b very welcomed, not rushed & then.the Best Thing. Incredible Food! Thx, Winnipeg 4 a genuinely great Spot.

It's the best place to have your breakfast. Their skillet is one of the best. Highly recommend to everyone.

I ordered pancakes from here this morning, the pancakes were burnt, cold and very unappealing. Looks stale too.

We had a great breakfast here with many fresh and unique foods. I ordered the avocado and cucumber toast. It came with 2 eggs, hasbrowns, and fresh fruit. My waitess Kay was so friendly and helpful. The owner was on site and was very kind as well! I highly recommend this place for great food!
