Pire restaurant de tous les temps. La serveuse en avait rien à faire de nous, on lui demande un jus de pommes pour ma conjointe diabétique car se glycémies descendent en flèches (ça faisait 20min qu'on attendait pour notre commande) & visiblement on dérangeait madame dans sa conversation avec la table derrière.
Après avoir attendu 25min pour nos plats, ils étaient tiède & surtout oeufs trop cuits, patates pas cuites & franchement les saveurs... Y en avaient pas.
Pire expérience!
It's my first time here I really love the food & the service was great I went with my friend & sister we recieved by rayan he is a great server he was so nice.

La nourriture était bonne mais cher, service laisse à désirer, commentaire déplacé de la serveuse (la gérante) à mon égard, elle utilisait un ton sarcastique & méprisant. Le menu est créatif & hors de l'ordinaire
La bouffe est bonne & leurs sangria est excellent, c'est ma place préfère. Leur déjeuner sont bon surtout le creton fait maison & le sirop d'érable aussi fait maison exquis. Je recommande fortement, vous serez pas déçu.
We LOVED to food there! Delicious & fresh ingredients! Amazing & friendly staff !
The only downside was that it was a bit too noisy, which made it hard to hear each other.
I went there for the first time a few weeks ago. It was amazing. The service, the food, the atmosphere. We got there close to the closing hour (before) but we were let in by Ghiles who accommodated us, served us great.
I Iove a good sweet brunch but this place didn't really deliver. The service was friendly & reliable but the food was very average. The French toast was a bit hard & it was quite expensive compared to other chain brunch spots in Laval. The decor was cool but this place is a bit overhyped.

I have been going to the original l'avenue since 2003 on Mont Royal street, the food used to be fantastic ,delicious & generous, back then they even had a club sandwich so big that If you can finish it you get a second one or a dessert.
I went today to the laval location & was very disappointed the food was tastless, don't bother ordering the omelet which is supposed to be be with feta , it lacks flavor & the omelet is mixed with flour to make it puff up probably to use less eggs. it tastes more bready them what an omelet ( looks large as you will see in the picture but no substance) , the toppings few cucumbers which was supposed to be zucchini & some feta cheese, the filling was minimal ( spinach & mushrooms) & tastes like nothing really.
Potatoes were very dry & again tasteless, tried to dip them in so much ketchup to taste like something . The quantity is more like a sample then a side ( potatoes at the original l'avenue used to almost be the star of the dish, so juicy & flavoursome , not this one ). The only good thing this place has going for it is the nice decor & atmosphere, but that will not bring me back there. The prices are steep, & I wouldn't have minded if the food was as enjoyable as I remembered. I was very disappointed unfortunately .😞
La note de 4.1 ne rend pas justice a notre experience en restaurant! La nourriture etait excellente , grosse assiette , le service était rapide & courtois. Restaurant qui ce demarque par la qualitée des aliments dans l'assiette.
Certainement pas notre derniere fois a ce restaurant!
Je suis allée pour un anniversaire avec un groupe de 14 personnes & le service était impeccable & agréable !! En plus le déjeuner est gratuit le jour de ta fête!
I went there a few months ago & it was a very average experience. Their interior is quite lovely, but it's not enough space for the number of tables. We were seated behind the separation wall in the middle of the room, & as there was someone sitting right beside the other side of the wall, all we could hear was their conversation. Food was good, but the portions were really small & the prices were very high in comparison. The service was quite slow as well. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be coming back.
Pretty ehh experience, food was mid & not as good as the other restaurants in mtl. Service was missing as I waited 8 minutes at the front before anyone even said hi. All in all the other avenues have better service & honestly better food
