Reputed for its huge breakfasts, exotic fruit cocktails, and hip Plateau Mont Royal ambiance, the main reason most patrons frequent this establishment is to chew the fat among friends.
L'Avenue comes up in reviews as a bold, crowd pleasing brunch spot with huge portions and a playful, vibrant vibe that blends retro disco decor with colorful graffiti. The menu is praised for creative sweet and savory pairings, with standout items like shakshuka, eggs Benedict, and the Dubai chocolate French toast or pistachio French toast, plus the Indecisive options that let diners mix and match. Expect long lines and waits, especially on weekends, and seating that can feel cramped, but many say the experience is worth it for the generous portions and lively atmosphere. Value is a common thread, with portions described as enormous and prices considered fair for the quality, though a few reviews call it pricey for what it is. Service is typically described as friendly and attentive, contributing to a positive overall experience, while the noise level and crowds can be a drawback for those seeking a quieter meal. The bathrooms are frequently noted as an experience in themselves, adding to the overall memorable vibe. Parking can be challenging and the venue can feel busy, but visitors often return for recurring favorites and the sense that nothing on the menu is bland.
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!
Beautiful atmosphere & a great variety of food.
Everything we tried was delicious & clearly made with care.
The service was excellent, our waiter was very respectful & served us with genuine love & attention.
Highly recommended.
Hands-down the best breakfast I've had in ages. Fresh-squeezed OJ mimosas, incredible flavours, & food that honestly tastes Michelin-level. Went with my son & we instantly became loyal customers. New favourite spot - highly recommend!
Fantastic spot for a quick brunch with something for everyone. The menu offers plenty of choices & there's sure to be something for every taste. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend choosing the baguette for your bread-it's delicious!
Angel, our server, was amazing! The service & the food were both incredible. I highly recommend trying the Benedict & the meat toast & the pistachio latte was on another level of good!
I'll 100% come back if I visit Montreal again.
We had a 7-day vacation starting from Montreal, then Quebec City, & finally Ottawa, & tried at least 14 different restaurants & L'Avenue was THE BEST!
Just a heads-up: it's totally normal to wait in line here, especially in a city like Montreal where people love eating out. Definitely worth the wait!

Très bonne ambiance ! Nous avons bien mangé, les assiettes sont très copieuses. Les cafés sont délicieux (essayez le moka !!). Les toilettes sont super stylés. Je recommande
I loved it. The food is delicious, the plates are super large, the service & staff are super friendly, & the prices are reasonable for the flavor & size of the plate. I recommend visiting this establishment on your visit to Montreal.
Les repas étaient très bons. Je vous recommande les crêpes au citron & bleuets ainsi que les pains dorés fraises & Nocciolatas. L'ambiance était bien malgré la
musique forte. Nous avons été chanceux car il n'y avait pas d'attente.
J'ai pris le repas l'indécis avec pain doré façon Dubai aux pistaches & chocolat. C'était exquis! Chaque bouchée était un plaisir. Le service était rapide & sympathique malgré le nombre élevé de clients. Un sans faute! Je le recommande fortement à tout le monde.

Super resto. Belle ambiance. La bouffe était super. Belle présentation. Oeufs bio & sirop d'érable de l'érablière du propriétaire. Décoration vibrante & service impeccable. Je recommande fortement à votre prochain passage à Montréal.
Vraiment c'est un brunch ou tu as pour ton argent ! Tout était super bon ! Mais les quantités étaient tellement généreuses ! On a rien pu finir.. mais tout était succulent !! Je recommande !
The food was scrumptious, the staff is very kind & the waiting time was not too long, we went there at 1pm approximately. I highly recommend this place, with family & friends.
Ce déjeuner était tellement bon que j'ai envie de modifier toutes mes review 5 étoiles & leur mettre 4 étoiles. Les ingrédients sont frais & de qualité.
La cuisinière connaît les allergies & fait attention. & c'est suuuuuper bon. Il y a du pain sans gluten & j'ai pu avoir le plat adapté sans produits laitiers.
Le service est super.
Je recommande extrêmement cet endroit. En plus la décoration est exceptionnelle.
