I've been going to L'Avenue for over 15 years-first at the Mont-Royal location & later at the Notre-Dame one. Over all these years, the food has always been excellent: consistently well prepared, generous plates, & usually very friendly staff. It's one of the reasons my family & I have kept coming back regularly since the Notre-Dame location opened.
However, I've had a disappointing experience with the same server two or three times now at the Notre-Dame location. For lack of a better way to describe it, she seems to saunter from table to table, rarely smiles, & does not come across as particularly friendly. During our last visit, she was actually rude to me.
I always order a single pancake with strawberries & chocolate for our 6-year-old. This time, she brought the full version (three or four pancakes). When she came back to the table later, I mentioned that we had meant to order the one-pancake version. Her response was:'Ben il fallait me le dire,' which is not the level of customer service I've come to expect from your restaurant.
It's unfortunate, because we've been loyal customers for many years & genuinely enjoy the food & atmosphere. But experiences like this do make me think twice about returning.
I would be happy to discuss this further with management if that would be helpful.
Very good experience, I had a friend reunion brunch, & it was the perfect place for that. Their got sauce is pretty good & matches super well with the egg & the hollandaise sauce. The matcha soy latte was good has well, I willl definitely go back!
Thought it was going to be better with all the rave reviews. Not sure why this place is so popular. The pancakes taste gummy. The potatoes taste like they were overcooked in the microwave. My dish was served cold.
We had a late breakfast around 10:00/10:30 so no wait. I ordered the'Bob goes to Istanbul', hubby got'Bob goes to Japan'; both were amazing. Great food, great service! If I lived anywhere near there I would be there quite often😆
Visited for a long weekend & the best food we had in Montreal was the breakfast here. We wish we would have visited the first day & kept going back. Skip the bagels, come here & you won't regret it.
Great portions. Good value for money. Creative brunch takes that are delicious. Friendly servers. Would recommend on a weekday especially due to the restaurant not taking reservations.
Mon amie & moi avons reçu un service impeccable de la part de Jessica. On s'est senties comme des princesses. Je recommande le chai latte & la crêpe chocolat-noisette!! Mon amie a adoré les oeufs benedictines avec la sauce hollandaise aux betteraves. Une belle découverte, merci!

Nous sommes arrivés à l'ouverture du coup pas de file d'attente mais si vous arrivez en heure de pointe attendez vous à faire la file.
Pour le repas c'était un très bon rapport qualité prix. Vous avez de bonnes quantités de nourriture. Pour nous les portions étaient un peu trop grandes mais si vous avez un gros appétit vous serez satisfait.
L'atmosphère aussi était sympa & notre serveuse était vraiment sympathique.
Petit hic il y avait beaucoup de mouches lorsque nous y étions.
We visited this brunch spot back in 2021 & made it a point to return during our recent trip to Montreal. The food & menu are just as awesome as we remembered. Everything was fresh, well prepared, & full of flavour.
There was a short wait to get seated, but it was totally worth it. The service was top notch throughout our visit, & a special mention to our waiter who kindly packed our leftovers for us without even being asked. Definitely one of me favorite brunch places!
So nice to finally get a chance to try this place, & not be disappointed at all. Food was delicious, ambience was fun & upbeat, & Stealth's (Cody's) service was top notch. 10/10 would come back, even if it means standing in line & waiting for a table.
Showed at 3pm Dec 24th to be told that the kitchen has closed earlier & not to take on more tables as it is Christmas. No idea what that means but if you guys are closing early update your hours, as people in this weather drive for long & specially take time looking & paying for parking to be turned away. I can't believe that you turned 2 people away, I am very understanding person if it was 3:30 but 3pm 1 hour to closing turning people away is not a good business practice.
