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.
Depuis bientôt six ans, ce café sait comment me servir & s'adapter à ma personne & handicap. Des personnes comme Jess, super serveuse, est allé plus loin en trouvant des solutions pour que je sois à l'aise malgré ma situation. Allez-y & prenez le temps de bien bruncher sur de la musique & des gens chaleureux. Mention aussi à David & Mathieu !!!zulma & kamilo sont aussi à tenir compte. Si vous avez un handicap quelconque, venez manger en toute inclusion & plaisir.
UPDATE 2024:
Sad to be reporting this place is no longer gluten friendly. It's rare I've seen a restaurant regress on offerings like this, but the potatoes now have gluten in their seasoning & they've removed the gluten free bread. The last photo is what I was able to eat 😅 unfortunately won't be swinging by here anymore.

Wow - this place is worth the hype !
Showed up on a Sunday just after noon with three friends & didn't have too long of a wait (maybe 15mins).
The servers were very knowledgeable regarding the menu & were able to point out all they could modify for my gluten + dairy allergy. I do wish they were just a little more present on the floor as we could have used more coffee haha.
Personally, I ordered the shakshuka with gluten free toast, it came with a side of potatoes & the whole thing was sooo tasty.
Two friends got the pecan French toast & said it tasted like a pecan pie. They highly recommended it. The last friend got the eggs Benny, she found it so delicious & filling she took the second half home.
Would 100% come by here again.
Very good food & drinks, the place was packed when we went on Saturday morning so keep in mind you might have to wait 10-15 mins like us but it is totally worth it, got huevos rancheros & it was amazing! Get an irish coffee too & you're set for the day. The place is also very creatively decorated
Le meilleur endroit pour déjeuner à Montréal, prix, qualité, goût & service 10/10. Un endroit très sympa, avec un style unique, je le recommande à 100%.👌🏻
Si vous voulez vivre une expérience agréable, vous devez y aller.
