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.
C'est sur que si tu y va la fds, après 9h tu attend un bout. & tout les fois que j'y suis aller, tu attends longtemps pour la nourriture. Il faut regarder le menu avant d'y aller car c'est très spécial comme mélange de goût & leurs plats.
Par contre, c'est mon restaurant de choix pour les brunchs. Tellllllllement bon. Le vibe est vraiment bien. Très unique pour un restaurant. Je le recommande.

Déjeuners différents, mais assez dispendieux. Crêpes qui ont plus l'air & le goût de gâteau, je n'ai pas aimé la sensation de manger du gâteau au déjeuner. Le dejeuner tex mex (wrap avec oeufs fromage avocat) dont j'oublie le nom est par contre excellent, les patates sont fabuleuses Pas de thé noir en poche genre orange peko seulement du thé en feuilles qui n'est pas inclus dans le repas, il faut payer un extra. Pas d'ambiance, pas beaucoup de clients quoi que il était 9h00
Le staff est vraiment top du top, la nourriture correcte, pancake un peu sec/ peu de garniture , mais cv.
Beaucoup de bruit, on a l'impression d'être dans une usine.
First time. Loved it! Very decent prices compared to similar places. Huge portions, we couldn't finish our plates. & those Mocha & Latte bowls ☕? were so good. Best part was the attentive & quick friendly service. Will come back to try the other options 🤤

Première fois à ce restaurant déjeuner.
Merci à Ashley pour un service impeccable. Cela faisait longtemps que ce ne m'était pas arrivé.
Assiette copieuse & délicieuse. Les saveurs sont au rendez-vous. C'est un resto à découvrir & reveni
Décor intérieur & extérieur différent des autres restaurants de déjeuner, nous avons aimé. Les choix d'assiettes déjeuners sont différents de ce que l'on trouvent ailleurs mais cela ne parle pas personnellement. Les fruits étaient pratiquement inexistant dans mon assiette de crêpes qui devait en contenir. Déçus de notre première expérience, nous ne renouvelerons pas !

Notre serveuse a été hyper gentille tout au long de notre brunch 5/5. Par contre, nous sommes arrivés (groupe de 8 personnes) & on avait appelé au paravant pour réserver & il nous avait dit non. Cependant, un groupe de 8 est arrivé & ont été directement servie & placé, alors que ça faisait 25 minutes qu'on attendaient dans l'entré. Décevant :( Par contre vraiment une superbe serveuse!!
Our favorite brunch place! Menus are creative, distinct from other brunches & always on point. A must-try for the unique combinations of sweet, salty & perfectly balanced. L'Avenue never disappoints 👌🏻
I was curious to see what they did with the Old Pizza Hut restaurant & they did a wonderful job,.it is now a fun & open space with lots of sport mementos.
The service was friendly & attentive. The menu is available by downloading on your smart phone, my companion almost walked out since he did not have his phone but mine was available & so were able to select the Ruben Benedictine & the Indecisive with very berry for our meal.
The food was not bad & definitely there was plenty of it. Is quantity more important than quality? Sadly our food was cold & the very berry offered as a treat a double stack of pancakes which was spread with green cream that must have been pistachios but looked like slime which was covered with sliced strawberries & blueberries. I'm sure it was edible but the look was unappealing. They offered pure maple sirop with it which is a big plus.
This is an interesting restaurant but we would recommend it for people under 30 who enjoy science fiction because the experience was out of this world.
Un des meilleurs restaurants déjeuner sur le boulevard Taschereau ! La nourriture est super fraîche & les employés sont super serviables & respectueux. Je recommande à tous ceux qui cherchent quelque chose de raisonnable & bon !
