Music's too loud. Laurie was an amazing waitress Carrot cake pancakes were delicious but the icing was way too sweet. All in all it was a pleasant experience.

2ieme fois dans ce Resto, & de plus servi par la même serveuse qui affichait son plus joli sourir . Son service, professionnel & courtoisie. & le Bénédictine Steak EGG.......Excellent plats piquant ça réveille les papilles. 👌👌👌👌👌👍 Au plaisir de vous revoir bientôt ! 1ere fois dans ce restaurant, le restaurant L'AVENUE au 3612 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest à Saint- Henri. Mais quel bel découverte, l'ambiance y est agréable ainsi que sa déco typique de la rue avec ses graffitis. Les plats du déjeuner que nous avons choisi fut d'un tel régal. Le goût & les saveurs de mon plat le SHAKSHUKA RED ......miam....miam j'en aurais repris encore. Le service était bien de la part de notre serveuse, mais il manquait un petit quelque chose.....un sourire constant & de ne rien dire quand tu reçois un excellent pourboire malgré un petit manque d'expérience que j'ai décelé Au contraire je t'encourage à t'améliorer . Honnêtement je recommande ce resto Pour ses déjeuner de manière réinventer. Félicitations au chef nous avons apprécié & nous allons revenir savourer d'autres de vos excellent plats du menu.
Excellent service souriant, chaleureux & efficace. Des assiettes très généreuses & délicieuses ont dirait une oeuvre d'art , super présentation. De plus il nous offre des produit est frais & bio . Merci
Food was great, service was good. There was a mistake made on the order ( got pecan french toast but wanted pistachio) they fixed the mistake, told me to put a dent on it & then charged me for the extra.....bit it had not ordered that. I paid because I was part of a group & we needed to get going ,truly unimpressed & hope they do better & own up for their own shortcomings. I'll buy a bag of nuts at la branche d'olive next time, it'll cost me less than 9$
Service rapide, personnel agréable, j'ai adoré toute mon expérience! L'endroit est paisible & bien situé, la nourriture excellente & les boissons de même! On ne pourrait demander mieux pour bruncher. Seul suggestion, peut être offrir plus de choix ou de remplacements dans le menu, car nous avons hésité car diverses options avaient un truc qu'on aime pas. Peut être offrir un menu sur mesure?
I would give it 4.5 because it took a very long time to get our food but was worth the wait. Food was delicious overall, big portions (so definitely shareable) & you can make your own plate which is pretty nice. Love their decor inside, & they had a pretty cute sunny terrasse outside. Would definitely go back & try other things on the menu, it's so rich & vast, full of options.
