Visited for Brunch on our visit to Montreal. Enjoyed the beverage selection. Food was great. Portions are extremely large. Good value for the pricing. Service was great & fast. Only issue is we received one meal cold & had to send back to be reheated, the server was kind about it & fixed it right away.

1 word: A vibe. We were lucky, & our wait was about 15 minutes for four people. The restoration decor is fun & trendy. Their bathrooms are great selfie spots!! But the food is to die for. We got the duck confit eggs bendedict, the red shaksuka & the huevos rancheros. The first two dishes are worth the hype & made me do little Dances as we ate. The huevos rancheros were a bit disappointing (sorry) but as a Mexican I have to give a critique. They lacked any rich flavours that didn't make the dish stand out.
I had a delightful breakfast at L'Avenue Notre-dame restaurant .The food was fresh & delicious, with a great variety to choose from. The staff were friendly, & the service was quick. The atmosphere was cozy, making it a perfect spot to start the day. Highly recommend for anyone in the area!
Tl;Dr - Upgrade your Benedict to a French toast base instead of English muffin for only $5, thank me later Just going to start off with, everything we ordered tasted amazing. Came here back in November 2023. We literally took 15 minutes going through the menu because it was so hard to decide what to order, everything looked amazing & sounded amazing. We decided on trying the avocado hummus with braised lamb & pomegranate seeds, a mushroom Benedict, & some pancakes. The hardest thing to decide was which 3 dishes to get, because we are not from Montreal & won't be coming back often. So we wanted to try as much as possible. Luckily, they have an option to switch out the English muffin & upgrade it to French toast for only $5. & yes, I definitely recommend ALWAYS doing that. I don't even like hummus, that dish was supposed to be primarily hers. But she just kept eating the French toast mushroom Benedict, & I ended up having most of the hummus, which was really good, especially for someone who doesn't like hummus. We also love how their potatoes aren't fried. Like 100% of all brunch places in Toronto does fried potatoes, & pretty poorly at that. It was so refreshing to have something different. Every time we go back to Montreal, or even pass by Montreal, this will definitely be a stop we will be making.
Fantastic experience!!! This restaurant was on my must try list while visiting Montreal. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was fun, our server, David, was very attentive. Do yourself palate a favour & go, even if you have to wait. Thank you L'Avenue for a fabulous breakfast!!!
