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.
Très bon brunch à Montreal! Cela fait plusieurs fois que nous y allons & c'est toujours délicieux. Le menu est varié & ne déçoit jamais. Service sympathique. Seul le temps d'attente peut faire peur mais cela en vaut la peine. Une valeur sure que je recommande fortement!
This place never disappoints, we waited about 35 minutes in line but it was totally worth it! The food is delicious, with plenty of options, all in a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.
I don't like the waitress here when I reacted the sausage is gamey & there is a bug flying my juice though I almost finished my drink. The waiter did nothing reaction to me & even without saying sorry & didn't say a good bye & have a nice day to me. When I dine in the somewhere, in this situation, waitress will usually apologize to me at least. I was surprised the waitress here.

We went here for breakfast, & they had a variety of eye-catching options. We ended up getting Bobby Does Dallas & The Indecisive with Lemon & Blueberry Pancakes. All were very delicious. Bobby Does Dallas tends to be a little sweet, possibly because of the caramelized onion & another ingredient, which gives the steak a unique & delightful taste. However, it may become a bit repetitive & too much if you plan to finish the whole dish.
We had the pleasure of having lunch & it was a 10/10 experience - The food is amazing!!!!!they have a small menu but the they really do the food absolutely well. The salmon egg benny was the bomb! The oreo shake was simply amazing - The staff is very friendly & very attentive. We were served by Yasmin & she is just lovely, professional & knowledgeable. We would love to meet her when we come back again - The atmosphere is nice but it can be crowded inside because the space is small. Nevertheless it's a nice experience
Delicious brunch. Large portions. Fast service. Eclectic & interesting ambience. Not super expensive at all. The two of us were seated pretty fast but be prepared to wait if you're a larger group than that.
Located on Mont Royal Ave, the street is closed for cars & the whole street becomes pedestrian only. We sit on the patio with shades in the morning. The staffs are super friendly & food is amazing. Just be mindful with their enormous food portions. The portion is bigger than what picture shows.
Brunch incroyable je me suis régalé (le fourrage pistache est à tomber par terre). Les pommes de terres sont très bien assaisonnées. Je recommande le pain aux graines en accompagnement. Les cocktails/smoothies sont aussi très bons. Point bonus pour la musique de Drake & le dernier album de Kaytranada diffusés lors de notre repas 🤪
Est-ce que l'attente vaut la peine? Absolument. J'ai pris l'indécis avec crêpes bleuet-citron & ça va être très difficile de commander quoi que ce soit d'autre à l'avenir. Assiette parfaite!
De passage à Montréal, on est passé par le restaurant "L'avenue" situé à quelques dizaines de mètres de notre location. On a adoré ! On y a été au moins trois fois pour nos petits déjeuners. On a aimé autant pour la déco originale (entre le ZXR 750 accroché au plafond, les toilettes hommes boite de nuit ...etc), que la petite serveuse bien sympathique, mais aussi & surtout leurs petits déjeuners "brunchs" ultra copieux, & super bons ! Du choix, un service rapide, & un régal pour les pupilles ! De retour en France, cela restera un de nos bons souvenirs de notre passage à Montréal.
