Since 1994, the restaurant L'Avenue has been the place to be for brunch and breakfast lovers. With its eccentric plates and generous portions, festive atmosphere and outstanding service, L'Avenue is more than just a culinary experience!
Reviews paint L'Avenue as a lively brunch hub with bold, creative options and consistently huge portions, from pistachio lattes and Dubai chocolate toast to a variety of benedicts and pancakes. Service is widely praised for being attentive and friendly, with the space described as bright, quirky, and sometimes a bit loud during peak hours. The consistency of quality varies by dish, but many dishes are well balanced and flavorful, and the menu is noted for its inventive twists and generous plates that can easily feed several people or provide lasting leftovers. Prices are seen as reasonable for the size and quality by some, while others feel they are high for the value, and a few reviews mention occasional rough patches like food arriving cold, overly sweet items, or moments of slower service in busy times. The pistachio latte stands out as a must try for many, and repeated mentions of favorites like Indecisive versions and various egg dishes reinforce the sense of a distinctive, crowd pleasing menu. While crowding, wait times, and occasional comfort or cleanliess annoyances surface in some visits, many reviewers regard the overall experience as worth it and note they would return to explore more of the lineup at different locations.
$100 brunch for two! Two lattes, one sangria, two complete breakfasts. I recommend the'Bobby takes Instanbul' & the'Bobby takes Dallas.' Also, amazing service & delicious food! The restaurant was spacious & uniquely decorated. We'd definitely return to explore the menu further.
Excellent endroit pour manger!
La nourriture est très bonne & en bonne
quantité, le seul reproche que je ferai est que, pour les oeufs bénédictines, la protéine (viande, jambon etc.) est en quantité un peu légère.. C'est la seule raison qui m'a empêché de mettre 5 étoiles.
Le service est impeccable, & la décoration très sympa aussi (années 80-90)... Le monde qui fait la file d'attente prouve que c'est une bonne adresse, & j'y retournerai certainement.

Une attente interminable, & service médiocre pour le prix qu'ils chargent c'est inacceptable. Embaucher plus de monde serait important. Aussi eu beaucoup de misère à avoir un bon esspresso, on m'a amené du café filtre à la place, dans une petite tasse le faisant passer pour un esspresso... j'ai vite demandé qu'on l'annule. Bref, la nourriture est bonne mais le service laisse à Désirée pour le prix
De l'extérieur on dirait une dompte ! Mais faut passé go & aller faire un tour. Charmée par le menu, nous avons engloutis nos repas pas eu le temps de prendre de photos. Les repas étaient bon & les saveurs y étaient. Mention spéciale pour mon Martini expresso!!
It's was a fun & different brunch experience. Original offers on the menu. The potatoes are nicely seasoned. Service was excellent, Alexander was knowledgeable about the menu & spared a few minutes to chat with us despite being obviously super busy (10 am on a Sunday). The food was delicious & the portions are quite large, not even my boyfriend could finish.
So of course I went back & they also have the fluffiest pancakes on Earth!

A brunch place with a refreshingly different menu & a vibrant athmosphere, if a bit noisy. All the food we ordered was great - from the basic Eggs Benedictine (pictured) to the Istanbul (very tasty & quite authentic - eggs just as my grandma made them in the Balkans). If you fancy a sweet drink in lieu of dessert, the speacialty coffee is tatsy & beautifully presented, especially the pistachio latte.
Today was our 2nd time coming here. We had another great experience at L'Avenue Brossrard. The gentleman who served our table was so nice & welcoming & made us leave after our meal with a smile on our face. The food was great as before. Thank you.
The butter on these pancakes 🧈🥞 is next-level 😍🔥. Honestly, some of the best pancakes in Montreal! Eggs & potatoes 🍳🥔 are fine, but the pancakes steal the show. Warm & heavenly 🤯💖💯.
Très belle découverte ! Le restaurant a une super ambiance & le service est vraiment chaleureux. Les plats étaient délicieux & bien présentés, on voit que les ingrédients sont frais. L'équipe prend le temps de s'assurer que tout est parfait pour les clients. Je vais définitivement revenir & recommander la place à mes amis.
My favorite breakfast restaurant of all time!
The vibe, music, drinks & food is just amazing!
Must try : bobby does dallas
Parking available.
No reservations so either go late or early.
New menu: some of the new options are not as good. I personally didn't like bobby explores Japan.
Bobby discovers Istanbul is ok but not comparable to DALLAS!
The atmosphere is good here & with good service & so helpful. WOW the portions are hugh so have to pack home! The chicken sandwich is so amazing & they come with regular coffee. Definity will come for other menu.
