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.
Restaurant trendy qui est toujours bondé le week-end pour le service du matin. Les déjeuners sont excellents & les portions généreuses. Le personnel est sympathique & efficace. Un peu dispendieux mais ça vient avec l'expérience! Les toilettes sont malades!!

Was recommended this place for brunch & we came here twice!! Food is absolutely delicious. Cocktails & lattes & well balanced. Overall vibe of the restaurant is amazing.
It was my first time going to Montreal & the first brunch i ate there was amazing . Everything was great( food, environment ,staff) . The variety of food was so great that anyone with any taste can find something to eat there ,only one bad point was that we had to wait for more than an hour for our turn to go to the restaurant.

The place was so loud, we couldn't hear each other nor the waiters & the waiters had to yell to us & other tables to hear each other. Some of the waiters were throwing dishes hard into the dish bin which was adding to the noise. We waited 20 min at our table before anyone poured us water or came to see us & they only came to our table because I flagged them down. Many tables also had to wait as long as us to be acknowledged or to pay. When the waitress got to our table, she cut us off in the middle of conversation & was talking very abruptly, as if she didn't like that we had asked her to come to the table which we did politely. Food was pretty good though & arrived in a timely manner after we ordered. I don't know if I'd recommend this place nor go back, but if you go, I suggest you eat on the terrasse where you'll be able to hear each other.
I had high expectations based on the hype but came away disappointed. The service was quite chaotic - I got asked by 4 separate people within 2 minutes how many people were in my party. The QR code menu also wasn't working, but when I asked for a paper menu, it never arrived. Overall overpriced & not worth the wait.

One of the best places for breakfast in Montreal, & one of the busiest. If you are patient & dont mind waiting at least 30 minutes for a table, on a day where its not too busy, you will be well rewarded. Whatever you choose will be excellent, & you will leave with a full belly & a great Montreal breakfast experience!
We spend almost 3 hours to have a breakfast. Food was really good but expensive. Service was really bad we waited for 30 minutes for the bill. We waited for more than 30 minutes to give the orde
