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.
Anyone saying the portions are too small has never been to a restaurant before clearly. The portions are MASSIVE. How much do u need truly? Service was ok, quality was ok.

Visited from Toronto & this was my 3rd time trying this restaurant! Food portions are grand & so delicious! Staff is friendly & attentive. Had an amazing breakfast! Kid friendly too! Would recommend.
Tout était délicieux mais il y avait beaucoup de monde donc le resto était trop bruyant à mon goût. Probablement que je retournerai en semaine, à celui dans la ville de Laval pour avoir du stationnement.
Nous avons passé un agréable moment. Le service est de qualité, la serveuse a pris le temps de nous présenter la carte. La nourriture est excellente. J'y reviendrai à a prochaine venue !
Nous avons apprécié le cadre & surtout les plats très copieux & succulents du brunch. Un adresse à recommander pour passer un bon moment culinaire. A recommander !!!

we went on a Monday morning & we did have to wait in line for a bit. however, i could not visit Montreal & not try L'avenue. the Bobby Does Dallas (top) was reallyyy good & flavourful, but the truffle duck benedict was kinda underwhelming. the duck was unseasoned unfortunately, but it wasn't bad of a meal. the potatoes were super good! they also have their own hot sauce which i thought was pretty good. i give this place a 5/5 even tho my meal wasn't necessarily up to par because the service was super good. the people were so so nice & accommodating ! nonetheless, when i do come back to Montreal potentially, i will for sure try something else bc the truffle duck benedict was not really the best & was not worth my money.

Exceptional food & very upbeat, friendly staff. We had the Strawberry Nutella pancakes, Lemon Blueberry pancakes, a Veggie Omelette, & Huevos Rancheros. The flavours were decadent & amazing & they nailed every detail. Our server, Yasmina was amazing. Can't wait to go back!
Fantastic experience here. We had to wait a little bit for a seat but it was definitely worth it. Food was really good & super fresh... I still think about it sometimes!

J'y suis allé plusieurs fois & je n'ai jamais été déçu. L'accueil est top, le service impeccable, la nourriture excellente & copieuse. C'est un endroit branché pour prendre un brunch en semaine ou en weekend. Je ne peux que recommander. De plus, il est situé sur le plateau Mont-Royal, un quartier où il est agréable de se promener. Comptez entre 30 & 40$ par personne avec boissons & taxes.
