Les déjeuner sont débile. Je recommande le pain doré chocolat dubai juste WOW. Le service parfait. Sirop d'érable à volonté sur la table. Bénédictine sont également très bon
Visited on a Monday afternoon, so there were still some open seats when we arrived. We ordered the waiter's recommendations: the Truffle Duck Benedict & the Dubai Chocolate French Toast. Both dishes were quite good. The duck was flavorful & the potato side was especially delicious-highly recommend it! The pistachio butter in the French toast wasn't very strong, which was a bit disappointed. As for the mocha, the dark chocolate flavor was too strong covered the taste of coffee, a bit more like hot chocolate without overly sweet.
Overall, the service was friendly & attentive, & the staff were nice. The restaurant environment was also pleasant. A good spot for brunch.
La Venue is truly a gem in Montreal! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm & inviting. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish prepared to perfection.
A special shoutout to Roy, whose Lebanese hospitality made the experience even more special. He went above & beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, always providing the best with a smile. His kindness & attention to detail truly stood out!
If you're looking for a top-notch brunch spot with amazing service, La Venue is the place to go. Highly recommended!
I normally make a point to avoid any franchise restaurants because once you start scaling it can be hard to replicate the magic of the original place. But L'Avenue has managed to keep quality, service, & taste all at the top tier for an amazing breakfast experience. Extremely happy with both visits to this restaurant & am excited to try their location more local to me.

Loved the food at L'Avenue! Went as a party of two around 11 AM & we didn't have to wait very long at all, though we saw larger parties having to wait for a while. Got the Indecisive Sticky Toffee Pudding Pancakes & a latte & both were delicious (the breakfast potatoes & the scrambled eggs were especially good). Highly recommend for a good brunch!
I love Montreal
It's in a cool hip area
Food was great
Service was amazing
People were so nice
Affordable
I have some Indian egg dishe. It was great
The tiramisu french toast was delicious. But more of a dessert then a meal
I'm not a fan of franchises, but L'Avenue offered a wide variety of food & beverage options, unlike the monotonous choices of eggs & other common items that can be found everywhere, even at home. This allowed me to experience different flavors & cuisines, at least for a few visits. So, I'll give them credit for that. I saw friendly staff & quality of presentation in our visit.
Between the portions we had I liked the Rib-eye stake avocado & hot chocolate was basic.
I visited L'avenue in Montreal with my cousin, & we had a great time! I went for the Los Cabo's Chicken Waffle, & it was absolutely delicious. The dish features a corn waffle topped with crispy fried chicken, shallots, cheddar cheese, guacamole, sriracha sauce, & maple syrup. The combination of flavors was spot on-savory, spicy, & sweet, all in one bite.
The corn waffle was light & crispy, the chicken was perfectly juicy, & the shallots & cheddar added a nice savory punch. The guacamole balanced the heat from the sriracha, & the maple syrup brought everything together with a touch of sweetness. It was filling but not too heavy, & every bite was a little bit different, which kept it interesting.
My cousin, on the other hand, had the Indecisive Meal, which was a fun concept-basically a bit of everything classic breakfast food. He enjoyed it.
The vibe at Lavenue was cozy, & the service was friendly, making it the perfect spot for a casual brunch. The prices are on the higher side for brunch, but the quality & creativity make it worth it. If you're in Montreal & want something unique, definitely try the Los Cabo's Chicken Waffle!

By far, the best brunch in Montreal. L'Avenue is the Ferrari of the brunch spots in town in terms of quality & fresh ingredients as well as the high quality service by their polite staff.
Certainly! Here's a review for a restaurant: "I had a fantastic brunch at this restaurant! The service was outstanding, with friendly & attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was cozy & inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal. The food was delicious & fresh. Highly recommend this place for a great dining experience!"
Visite pour le brunch, premièrement, tout l'avant du local est frigorifié compte tenu de l'ouverture constante des portes, c'est vraiment désagréable de devoir manger avec son manteau. Côté bouffe, ok sans plus, bénédictines gluants manquant de cuisson malheureusement. Café latté ok mais le café filtre ouf imbuvable. Le service vraiment impeccable toutefois, serveur attentionné, sympathique & avenant.
Un excellent déjeuner, rendu encore plus agréable grâce au service impeccable de Lamiaa. Son sourire chaleureux & son attention aux détails ont fait toute la différence. Une expérience que je recommande sans hésiter !
