It's trendy & usually have my drawbacks , the service are very overworked !!!! The place is always full & they're always running around. They're good at this job & very professionals & nice , they do need 1-2 extra especially during breakfast

Ordered the duck truffle on toast, wet & soggy toast, duck lost in a sea of watery muchroom sauce. Potatoes have a strange taste.

Out of town/country foodie review - The experience begins with a line outside; there's no formal check-in, as the host comes out to take names & party sizes. We arrived on a Sunday around 10:30 AM & were seated by 10:55 AM, which felt like a reasonable wait.

However, I was disappointed by the food & lack of communication regarding new menu items. The menu clearly advertised fresh additions, yet our server didn't mention any of them until we were actively placing our orders. This happened twice: first with the iced strawberry matcha during the drink order, & again with the'Bobby Explores Japan' dish when ordering food. In my opinion, new offerings, or lack thereof in this case, should be highlighted at the start of the dining experience, not as an afterthought. We waited roughly 45 minutes to receive our 2 items: the Huevos Rancheros & the Classic Eggs (eggs, meat, & potatoes). I asked for soft scrambled & it came out hard.

As for the food, it was fine, but nothing particularly memorable or unique. We ordered the vanilla iced matcha, but it didn't live up to expectations. The vanilla & sugar were simply dusted on the rim, & the matcha itself was noticeably watered down, lacking the rich flavor & depth we were hoping for.

Hi L'Avenue!

I want to take the time to rewrite this review, as the owner of L'avenue personally reached out to me offering his sincerest apologies for the incident.

After speaking with him at length after what had occurred, I decided to give L'Avenue another chance per his suggestion per the owners invitation.

He personally welcomed us & checked up on us multiple times through tour our meal & the serving staff was wonderful. Our meals were delicious as always & I look forward to coming back!

Thank you Roland & L'Avenue team at the Saint Henri location for everything 🩷😊

This place never disappoints me! I come to the Mont Royal location every single time I'm in Montreal. Here for the first time recently & it was much bigger & more spacious space - very nice patio & more seating so line moves quickly but there was a long line (somehow I never lined yo before in MR location). Huge menu & I always tried different things every time, they are consistently good & is no-fail recommendation for everyone I know, only ever received compliments about this place. Service might take a bit time but staff are friendly, know their menu & attentive. Nothing else to say I love this place! Hope they open more location in Toronto because the only one we have here wait time is just brutal!!

It seems that the staff is quite occupied, & perhaps additional support, such as expo & meal runners, would be beneficial in assisting the servers with attending to their guests. While the food was enjoyable, there were some delays in service.

Only one real vegan option (adapted avocado toast) is available. The meal itself is fine; nothing crazy but a decent filling meal. I wish there were more fun vegan options but still grateful they were able to make me something! Service is attentive & fast, especially for such a busy spot.
Unfortunately the restaurant (inside) is very loud from both music & chatter so just not a pleasant start to the day for brunch with friends in my opinion.

Huevos Rancheros were great.
Indecisive Sticky Toffee Pancakes were yummy too.
Shakshuka is my favourite.

I rarely stand in line for a restaurant but since we are on vacation I happily joined the crowd. The big surprise was that this decadent brunch spot was worth the wait. I wouldn't & couldn't eat here often & still fit into my clothes but we all thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our brunch. The service was initially slow in this busy restaurant but once our order was taken the service was attentive & upbeat. The vibe of the place is great with cool design features & great attention to the music. I'd recommend the blueberry pancakes with cream & lemon drizzle & the hazelnut latte.. but leave time for a post brunch nap!
