Reviews consistently highlight L'Avenue as a top brunch spot with bold flavors, large portions, and a lively, colorful atmosphere, praising standout dishes like eggs Benedict variations, the Bobby Discovers Istanbul, Sticky Toffee Pancakes, and Dubai chocolate French toast, as well as creative Indecisive platters that invite sharing. The experience is often described as worth the wait, particularly on weekends when lines form, with service frequently called friendly, attentive, and efficient, though there are mentions of slower pacing and occasional missteps during busy periods. Some diners report dishes arriving cold or overcooked and note noise levels can be high, while others emphasize good value and generous portions that can satisfy big appetites. Overall, L'Avenue remains a beloved Montreal brunch destination for many, offering a memorable vibe, quality ingredients, and reliable crowd pleasers, even as peak hours may bring longer waits and sporadic service.
Very good experience, I had a friend reunion brunch, & it was the perfect place for that. Their got sauce is pretty good & matches super well with the egg & the hollandaise sauce. The matcha soy latte was good has well, I willl definitely go back!
Great portions. Good value for money. Creative brunch takes that are delicious. Friendly servers. Would recommend on a weekday especially due to the restaurant not taking reservations.
We visited this brunch spot back in 2021 & made it a point to return during our recent trip to Montreal. The food & menu are just as awesome as we remembered. Everything was fresh, well prepared, & full of flavour.
There was a short wait to get seated, but it was totally worth it. The service was top notch throughout our visit, & a special mention to our waiter who kindly packed our leftovers for us without even being asked. Definitely one of me favorite brunch places!
This is a fabulous restaurant for a brunch. The food is out of this world. We had the eggs Benedict with steak & the eggs Benedict with truffles & duck. Portions are large! I can't describe how delicious this was. The service was incredible considering how busy the staff is. This is the place to go for brunch for sure.
This is a brunch place that gives exceptional quality food & it's so worth it ❤?❤? The venue itself has a very classic look & the staff is super welcoming, gracious & give very good brunch recommendations 😇😇 We started with coffee & then I had the Rejuvenate smoothie which was so delicious ❤?❤? However, it was the main meal that we totally loved - Bobby Discovers Istanbul for me while my partner had I'll have it All 🙏🙏 Each bite whether it was the chicken patties or the naan or sausage or bacon or French toast was beyond delicious! Our full compliments to the chef for making such exquisite food with so much love & care 🙏🙏 I understand why there's usually such a big lineup but it's so worth it at this 11/10 brunch place ❤?❤?

Probably the best brunch spot I've ever been to. I'd come back to Quebec just for this place! The vibes were fun inside & our waiter was so nice. GET THE LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE! You won't regret it!
An amazing experience from start to finish. L'Avenue is without a doubt one of the best spots for brunch in Montréal. The atmosphere is vibrant, colorful, & full of energy, with super-cool decor & friendly, fast service even when the place is packed.
Have lived in the area for five years now, & we just keep returning to L'avenue. It's become our favourite brunch spot. The portions are so generous, & it's a super comfy place! Don't believe the other reviews that this is a tourist trap-it's a super high quality brunch place, & one of the absolute best on Notre Dame Ouest. We always get the St Ambroise eggs Benedict & the « I'll have it all », which reminds me a lot of a full English breakfast. Phenomenal!!

It was our first time at this location .... we usually go to the one in Brossard. We came on Saturday around 3 PM. I was hoping they would have a brunch menu, but unfortunately, only breakfast was available. I ordered a pistachio latte, but the coffee was cold. We ordered breakfast for two ,it was okay, but next time we'll go back to Brossard. Their menu is twice as big, & the coffee is always hot. The service is very pleasant at both locations.
Brunch fou! Pour les indécis comme moi, ils font des formules indécis avec un combo salé/sucré pour 24,50$, des boissons bien recherché & des recettes succulentes!
Big up au serveur Julien qui a été au top 🫶🏼

A must-try brunch place for anyone visiting Montréal & a regular brunch favorite of mine. As a fan of eggs benedict the steak & eggs is fantastic with a side of their iced oatmilk latte.
Good brunch food at a good price. Tried one of the eggs benedict & it was good. One of the good brunch places in Montreal.
You come out full. Service was a little slow & music can be loud.
Only one real vegan option (adapted avocado toast) is available. The meal itself is fine; nothing crazy but a decent filling meal. I wish there were more fun vegan options but still grateful they were able to make me something! Service is attentive & fast, especially for such a busy spot.
Unfortunately the restaurant (inside) is very loud from both music & chatter so just not a pleasant start to the day for brunch with friends in my opinion.
