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.
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
Bobby Does Dallas 4/5 Casserole with beef, potatoes, & onions underneath. Pairs well with homemade chili sauce. Steak + Eggs 5/5 My favorite, absolutely delicious. ❤️ Smoked Salmon Avocado 4/5 Refreshing taste. Strawberry Nutella Pancakes 5/5 Freshly baked pancakes, so gooooood! Perfect with Nutella & strawberries! Also pairs well with their own maple syrup. Rejuvenate 4/5 Mango & pineapple smoothie, too large to finish lol. Rose Paloma 4.5/5 Alcoholic, pretty good. Oreo Cookies Milkshake 2/5 Too sweet!! Can only taste the sweetness, can't taste the Oreo flavor anymore. The best brunch I've ever had, every dish was great!
I wish I could give 4.5 stars lol. Not the best brunch I had in town but it's reasonable. I really liked their carrot pancakes. Portions are big. Prices are fair except for the drinks. One glass of mimosa costed me 11 bucks. If you get brewed coffee, you get free refills. Staff are friendly.
Our first time visiting Montreal, my family happened to pass by. It was a wonderful brunch. We especially loved the potatoes, eggs, & the wonderful varieties of flavors present in the French toast. Service was prompt & friendly. Would love to stop by again & try out more of the menu.

A Symphony of Flavors From the moment I stepped into, I was enveloped in a warm, inviting ambiance. The lively chatter & aroma of garlic & herbs filled the air, promising a delightful culinary experience. The staff was incredibly attentive & knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with enthusiasm. Ready to dive in?
La cuisine y est fort savoureuse, bien que le service laisse quelque peu à désirer. Les tenanciers ont manifestement privilégié le nombre de couverts au détriment du confort des convives, nous voilà donc tous attablés à la même grande table. Cela rappelle l'atmosphère d'une terrasse donnant sur la place de la Bastille, à la différence près que la vue n'est guère aussi plaisante & l'ouïe s'en trouve grandement affectée. Je recommande vivement cet établissement pour ceux qui souhaitent débuter leur journée par une "before" dès 11 heures du matin. Toutefois, n'oubliez pas vos boules Quiès si vous aspirez à un tant soit peu de tranquillité auditive.
L'avenue c'était mon restaurant brunch préféré mais depuis un certain temps je trouve que les prix ont augmenté un peu plus & il y a moins de choses sur l'assiette. Mon assiette préféré cetais toujours le moi j'en prends tout. Mais là le jambon a l'ose ça l'air plus d'une décoration que d'un p'tit portion. Ailleurs tu peut avoir jambon, saucisse, bacon, creton, fève au lard , pain dore , oeuf, patates, décoration de fruit & le café inclus pour moins cher.

Excellent restaurant pour petit-déjeuner & déjeuner. Les pancakes citron-bleuets un délice!! prix qui laisse avec un petit arrière-goût amère, mais les portions sont très généreuses. J'y retournerais sans problème, je recommande!
Tolles Lokal, große Portionen . Hatte Frenchtoast mit Pecannüsse, eine riesige Portion, hab nicht mal die Hälfte geschafft. Sehr lecker. Die Whipped Creme war super. Großer Pot Kaffee
This is my second time coming here & I don't even know where to begin! From the service to the decor they have here is great! The food is even better than what you can expect. My wife got some latte art to begin with & she ordered the classic eggs Benedict & I ordered the indecisive carrot pancakes that were incredibly delicious! The servers made us feel right at home & greet you coming & leaving the restaurant. There is a line up in front but I can honestly say it's worth the wait. Definitely can't wait to come back & eat here again.

J'adore y venir de temps en temps car les prix restent assez chers mais on y mange très bien. L'équipe est accueillante. J'aime l'ambiance & la déco des bathrooms.
Grosse déception au regard des avis positifs qui nous ont fait choisir l'Avenue. Mets fades & peu copieux, pain doré framboise/pistache dont on m'avait vanté les mérites tellement sec... Clairement le rapport qualité prix n'est pas là (90$ pour 2 pour bruncher, on peut clairement attendre & trouver mieux), on ne reviendra pas.
