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.
The food is organic & delicious also the staff are so friendly & welcoming
The music is a little loud but in general the place has really good vibes 👌🏽🙂

Had a group brunch there on a Monday & it was so delicious & the staff were the best!!! Highly suggest getting a lemon blueberry pancake for the table!!
The food did not meet the hype. Our French toast had a soapy taste, the pancake was too dry, the potatoes very greasy. The best part of our brunch was the orange juice, tbh. Service was great & the atmosphere was nice once the restaurant quieted down a bit.
Hearty & heavy is a big word here. Come hungry. Pretty delicious. Had the indecisive with poached eggs, pistachio french toast with vegan patte. Pretty excellent.
This place is absolutely out of this world. The food was delicious. Everything on the menu offered something for someone I had the green Shuka & my friend had the all in all in one meal which offered all the different type of breakfast, savory, savoury & sweet. Love the music & the ambiance of the restaurant. It's very busy but it's worth the wait & you have to check out the bathroom.

Super resto pour bruncher en bonne compagnie ! Il n'y a pas de réservation pour l'heure du brunch mais l'attente en vaut la peine. Le service est super & la nourriture est succulente - je recommande !
J'y suis aller avec un ami à 15:30 PM & ils nous ont malgré tout accueilli, permis de manger sans nous presser, & cela malgré la fermeture imminent. Notre serveur était attentionné & est revenu s'assurer qu'on était bien. J'ai adoré mon plat & mon smoothie. Le décor est original & il y a une bonne ambiance dès l'arrivée. Je recommande!
Excellent latté a la pistache !
Des assiettes copieuses & délicieuses !
Carte innovante qui s'adapte aux saisons ! Personnel très sympathique! Bref une bonne adresse pour un brunch dominical !
La cuisine est très bonne & les serveurs sont tops. Mais c'est l'usine ! Ça mériterait une table sur deux en moins. C'est tellement seré que ça en est presque irrespectueux pour les clients ... Attendez vous a manger avec votre voisin de table ...
