It is not overhyped. The line is long all the time but it is worth the wait. I dont recommend people coming into big groups because it is harder to get a seat.
Excellent service de Yasmine au Restaurant L'Avenue !
Super gentille, attentionnée & rapide malgré l'achalandage. Elle a rendu notre expérience encore meilleure avec son énergie & son professionnalisme. Le Benedictine Truffle Duck & le iced matcha pistache étaient incroyables. Merci Yasmine pour le superbe service, je recommande fortement ! ⭐?
I had to choose a brunch spot from all over Montreal to bring my family visiting, & this is what I chose. Honestly every time I come, I am never disappointed. The food is amazing, the portions are big, the price is good, the servers are always friendly (Ray did an extra good job), & it's consistent every time. A lot of other brunch spots cheap out & don't give you any sides, but here I look forward to their potatoes in particular. The seasoning is so surprisingly good. They are always busy on weekends, so if you can stand the wait it is well worth it.
Expérience incroyable, c'est la première fois que nous visitons un restaurant déjeuner autant haut de gamme & abordable! Le service est exceptionnel, nous avons été servis par Ray qui était très sympathique. On y retourne c'est certain!
Visited back in April 2022. I had to leave a review after 4 years because I still dream about the steak & mushroom eggs benny I ate here. A bit on the pricier side but totally worth it. They've since opened a location in Toronto, which I've been meaning to try as well.
L'Avenue is by far one of the best brunch spots in Montreal. They do a fantastic job at plating the food, & every dish that passes you by on the way to another diner makes you wish you ordered that instead. The food is delicious! I had the Californian omelet, Wow! Cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, mushrooms, red onions, avocado, salsa & jalapeno cream, all on top of a giant fluffy egg pancake. Service is exceptional with a nice friendly staff. My only complaint is they still ask customers to use the pandemic era QR codes stuck to the tables, which is simply annoying 5 years post covid.... Especially since they have the most unique & interesting physical menus I've seen in a long time (you need to insist & they'll give you one).
