Oeufs tamagos & avocats, bon brunch, bc de fruits , assiettes assez copieuses & très goûteuse, bénédictines variés, vraiment pas cher pour le rapport qualité prix donc lieu très achalandé mais ça roule bien.
Un super restaurant que nous avons découvert pour bruncher, sûrement l'un des meilleurs sur Montréal. Les portions sont généreuses, le prix abordable, le personnel est ultra sympa & toujours prêt à nous écouter.
Excellent brunch, très copieux, varié & vraiment savoureux. Les portions sont généreuses & les plats bien réalisés, avec de bonnes saveurs & des produits de qualité.

Une très bonne adresse que je recommande sans hésiter.
I had a really good brunch with some friends at this place in Montreal.
Honestly, it was such a delicious brunch restaurant. The'Huevos Rancheros' were absolutely wonderful & really enjoyable. I definitely recommend this place to anyone.
Ça faisait vraiment longtemps que j'y étais pas allé. C'était notre petit resto de brunch dans le temps qu'on restait sur le plateau & j'ai été ravie de voir que ça pas changé! à peu près le même décor, les mêmes assiettes …
c'était vraiment très bon, mais surtout très réconfortant.

Une adresse absolument incontournable à Montréal, que ce soit pour bruncher ou pour manger à n'importe quel moment de la journée.
Nous avons été conquis du début à la fin. Mon fils a pris des pancakes avec fruits, Nutella, sirop d'érable & chantilly : un vrai plaisir, généreux & gourmand. Son smoothie était impressionnant, servi dans un grand bol, ultra frais & délicieux.
De mon côté, j'ai opté pour leurs oeufs bénédictes - incroyables, probablement parmi les meilleures que j'ai mangées - accompagnées au canard confit, champignons & truffe & leurs pommes de terre rôties… tout simplement à tomber. C'est savoureux, parfaitement équilibré & les produits sont clairement frais.
Le rapport qualité/prix est totalement justifié au vu de la qualité & des portions.
Petit conseil : évitez les heures de pointe, car il y a souvent de l'attente. Mais l'organisation est bien faite, le personnel prend les noms & gère très bien le flux. & surtout… ça vaut largement le coup d'attendre.
Ambiance immersive, locale & vivante, avec un personnel vraiment sympathique & accueillant.
Une adresse à noter absolument dans son carnet, un vrai coup de coeur à Montréal.
Very cool brunch spot. Loved the decor. It definitely fills up on the weekends, so go early or be prepared for a wait. The food was absolutely amazing, & you get an insane amount of food! The staff were amazing & were very attentive despite how busy it was. They also have their own hot sauce, which is pretty cool.

One of the best brunch spots in North America, in my opinion! I've tried several different dishes here & everything has been great. The line can get pretty long at times, but once you're seated the service is very efficient. I recently tried some of the newer items on the menu, & they were just as great as everything else.
The music was a bit loud this time!
This spot is on such a fun street if you want to do some thrift shopping & grab brunch. The portion sizes were very large & super filling, & everything tasted great. I love shakshuka & this one was excellent. I also got the pistachio latte & it was so tasty!
I've lost count of how many times I've been there! We enjoy their brunch. If you go after 9 a.m., be prepared to wait a while for a table. I especially like the poached eggs - & you should definitely try the smoothies!
The host prioritized a large group who arrived 20 minutes after us & sat 20 minutes before us. We ended up getting the same booth as them. They acknowledged the mistake, & comped us with free drinks. Nevertheless it was a bit insulting. Food is on point, & you should come hungry & in the mood for creative breakfast brunch dishses...but if you want the simple diner breakfast experience this isn't the place.

Got brunch here for the first time last Friday with some friends. We got there sometime around 11:30am & had to wait ~10 minutes for a table. After being sat, we had some time to look at the menu. After figuring out what I wanted, I took the time to really look at the interior-it's so beautiful! There's a funky, retro, disco vibe to the place that makes it fun & inviting!
I ordered the Bobby Tries Istanbul, while my friends ordered the shakshuka & french toast. All the food was absolutely delicious & very filling! We even had a bit left over that we snacked on later.
The service was also great! Our servers were super kind & even packed up our to-go boxes for us! Would definitely recommend & I'll be coming back here the next time I'm in the city!
We were in this morning at 12:30 for brunch. Who the hell packages my pancakes & eggs & bacon like this. What a waste of food. Took this home to eat later because the serving was huge. All garbage now.
L'Avenue is a great brunch spot located near the Mont-Royal metro station. The food & service were great during out visit on a snowy Montreal day. The seating is a bit cramped but the small place can hold only so many people. Food was delicious.
Note: You might need to wait in a line outside depending on the availability (especially during weekends). They gave free mint/green tea during our wait outside. 🫡
