Pas d'attente pour une table, comme d'habitude les repas sont très généreux & gourmand ! J'adore mais en même temps je suis triste à chaque fois de ne pas pouvoir finir mon assiette. Heureusement que j'ai un chien pour les doggy bag ! Il se régale 😂
Great breakfast restaurant- good food, large portions at a reasonable price, all wrapped around a comfortable setting & a friendly atmosphere.
Service was exemplary. David, our waiter, was professional, friendly, attentive & beyond accommodating. He made the experience an 11 on 10 rating:)
Thank you David!
Definitely recommend!
Brunch at L'Avenue Notre-Dame was a delight, beautifully plated dishes, vibrant atmosphere, & exceptional service. Special thanks to Fran, whose warm & attentive energy truly elevated the experience. A must-visit in Montreal.

En plus de 3 ans sur Montréal & des dizaine de place de brunch, j'ai enfin trouvé le meilleur. Tout est frais, les oeuf bio sont une tuerie.le cadre est super, le service impeccable, je redécouvre le goût de sortir pour aller au restaurant & en avoir pour son argent.
We went for the first time again in about 5 years since moving out of the city centre. Same great food! I had the St Ambroise benny & it was crazy delicious! The moment I put the first bite into my mouth, my eyes glowed up wide! OMG! That's it! My new favourite! Atmosphere got 4 stars bc we were at a table not a banquette, which meant being in the way of'traffic'. It doesn't discourage us from returning though. Just the luck of the draw for seating. One of the best in the city, hands down!
Food was absolutely amazing! Everything was freshly made & the line was totally worth it. Laurie our server is a rockstar & friendly! Makes the experience memorable 👏👏
