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 was very good, only gripe was that the potatoes are a little overpowering- but that didn't distract from the generous & flavourful dishes that we were served. The server was polite & attentive, & the ambiance (especially the bathrooms) is fun & eclectic!
Wait was about 35 mins out front, they don't take your name down, you just stand in line & they seat you by how many are in your group as tables clear. Pecan French toast & dirty chai were yummy. Barbacoa breakfast dish was aight. Not much flavor goin on. Bathrooms are dope. Staff is super friendly. Overall was good! Just maybe not worth the wait / hype if the line is super long when you get there.

C'était super ! Un peu d'attente un vendredi matin fin septembre à 11h30 (5-10min) Nous nous sommes régalés, les plats sont copieux & de qualité. Un plus pour la déco des toilettes que nous vous invitons à découvrir, c'est une ambiance !
Restaurant très bien décoré, les plats sont très généreux & excellents ! Les boissons sont aussi très bonnes, le serveur était vraiment sympathique & souriant 😊! Petit point bonus pour les toilettes tout à fait incroyables !
Je fréquente l'Avenue depuis 2018, mais je suis de plus en plus déçue par la diminution des portions. Le goût est toujours excellent, mais les quantités ne cessent de se réduire alors que les prix augmentent sans cesse. Dernièrement, dans l'assiette de l'Indécis, j'ai eu droit à un mini morceau de jambon, perdu entre quelques oeufs & patates. Tout ça pour 32$ (taxes & service compris) sans même une boisson. Heureusement, le pain doré est toujours au rendez-vous! On est bien loin de l'époque où l'assiette était généreusement garnie, avec une brochette de fruits en prime ! Dommage, car c'était un de mes endroits favoris. Malheureusement, ce sera ma dernière visite.
J'ai aimé en général la nourriture & la variété des choix J'ai aimé les bénédictine au saumon & avocat & une sauce rosé! Le café laté au pistache est bien Le service est très bien
This has to be THE BEST breakfast/brunch spot in Montreal. The atmosphere was amazing & the servers were super friendly. Special shout out to Keegan. You are amazing! :) We visited during a very busy time but they made sure everything was smooth. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on their breakfast menu. We tried 4 items from the indecisive options & they were all amazing!
It's an amazing brunch place in Montreal. The food is delicious & the service was top notch. A huge shout out to Keegan who served us Labour Day long weekend, even though it was pretty busy, Keegan went out of her way to keep our luggage & serve us. She was simply amazing. All the staff were welcoming & had a smile on their faces. Such a beautiful place. Still can't get over the food. A must try & highly recommend this place. Thank you once again Keegan. Waiting to visit again.

Great food, amazing Mimosa Passion cocktails, & stunning street art décor. The staff's professionalism, paired with their undeniable charm, makes the experience even better.
Super delicious for breakfast - bring your appetite! Loved the names of the dishes, they totally fit the feelings. Our party tried two of the "indecisive" breakfast, & a "I'll have it all!" Real maple syrup seals the deal. Delicious.
The best brunch restaurant I've ever been to. It really feels like there's a chef's touch in every dish. The food was incredibly tasty, with large portions, & the pistachio latte was delicious. Service was fast & friendly.
Très bon brunch. Des choix sucrés & salés. Tout est bon avec de belles quantités. Un service efficace & des serveurs très souriants & présents. Bonne musique d'ambiance, peut être un petit peu forte On a beaucoup aimé!
