Great place with plenty of parking! We absolutely loved the Iced Pistachio Matcha. For breakfast, we tried the'Bobby Explore Istanbul' &'Bobby Discover Istanbul'-both were delicious. The decor is really cool, & they have a fantastic, spacious patio.
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 .😞

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.
Super bon restaurant pour déjeuner ou diner .Les assiettes copieuses avec un menu différent original .De plus le jour de votre fête votre assiette est gratuite. On vous apporte un pichet d'eau pas besoin de demander .Notre serveuse Chloé super énergique & drôle un service impeccable dans son habit de travail une chienne comme dans les anciennes stations-service. Le tout dans un décor original, même la toilette vaut le détour. Une adresse à retenir c'est sûr qu'on va y retourné.
Second time at this location as I was passing through Laval. Just as good as I remember it to be!
We got the duck eggs benny, & the indecisive in the lemon blueberry pancake as one & strawberry pancake as the second dish. All the food was delicious! We tried the matcha latte & the pistachio latte. From the whipped cream to the potatoes to the lattes. The portions are generous & delicious all around. This was just as good as I remember it 2 years ago. Staff are so kind & patient. Atmosphere is unique as the wall art & decor give a street vibe. Would recommend to anyone looking for a brunch spot!
I've been wanting to try this spot for a while & finally decided to go since we were in the area & it made for a nice birthday brunch. The Laval location has a cozy vibe, the décor is stylish, & the service was warm & attentive.
Food-wise, it was a mixed experience:
- The Indecisive Sticky Toffee Pancake: very sweet, & I could only manage a few bites (3/5). Definitely one for people with a big sweet tooth.
- Classic Benedict: excellent, soft buttery English muffins with ham, egg, & sauce all perfectly balanced. Great texture & taste (4.5/5).
- Potatoes: perfectly seasoned & crisp, easily the standout side (5/5).
- Latte: unfortunately a letdown, felt watered down & lacked depth of flavour (2/5).
I also wanted to try the matcha & strawberry drink on the menu, but it wasn't available, which was a little disappointing.
Overall, despite a few misses, the food was enjoyable & I'd still recommend checking this place out especially for brunch. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu.
Une expérience inoubliable à L'Avenue ! 🌟
J'ai eu le plaisir de découvrir L'Avenue récemment, & je suis absolument ravi(e) de l'expérience. Le menu est à la fois créatif & savoureux, avec des plats généreux, parfaitement présentés, & pleins de saveurs originales. Mention spéciale pour les brunchs qui sont tout simplement incroyables !
Le service était irréprochable : chaleureux, professionnel, & toujours attentionné, sans être envahissant. On se sent vraiment bien accueilli.
Le décor est unique, à la fois moderne & artistique, avec une touche urbaine très stylée. Chaque détail semble avoir été pensé pour créer une atmosphère à la fois chic & décontractée.
L'ambiance est animée sans être bruyante, parfaite pour un repas entre amis ou en couple. & que dire de l'emplacement ? Idéalement situé au coeur du Saint Martin à laval . c'est facilement accessible & parfait pour flâner dans le quartier avant ou après le repas.🫶🏻🫶🏻👏🏻
J'ai adoré mon expérience dans ce restaurant de déjeuner ! 🥞 La nourriture était tout simplement délicieuse : les plats étaient frais, bien présentés, & les portions généreuses. Mention spéciale pour les oeufs bénédictine & la pain doré trémaso , un vrai régal !
Le service était chaleureux & attentionné. Le personnel est souriant, rapide & à l'écoute, ce qui rend le moment encore plus agréable.
La décoration est très charmante, à la fois moderne & accueillante, avec une ambiance calme & conviviale qui donne envie de prendre son temps. On s'y sent bien dès qu'on entre.
Autre point positif : l'accessibilité. Il y a amplement de stationnement juste à côté du restaurant, ce qui est vraiment pratique, surtout les week-ends.
Bref, une excellente adresse pour bien commencer la journée !
