Ben & Florentine is a Canadian breakfast and lunch restaurant chain, serving around 2.5 million customers per year. The founders used characteristics from their own families to create the concept of the chain. Each Ben & Florentine restaurant is owned individually as a franchise.

The restaurant chain began by serving an extensive breakfast and lunch menu.
In 2012 the chain expanded into Ontario, and by 2014 there were 31 locations. In 2015 the chain continues to expand with 43 franchised units.
In January 2016, Ben & Florentine opened its first restaurant in the province of Manitoba in the city of Winnipeg. During 2016, Ben & Florentine kept growing in the Great-Montréal in opening a franchise inside the tennis club of the nuns' island.
