4 of us went for brunch & I highly recommend it! The pumpkin spice pancakes are out of this world 💯. They have a deal for champagne bottle & juice for the table. Everyone loved their food & the decor & vibe of the place is really fun. We waited in line outside for about 30 min on a Saturday afternoon. The line moves quickly though & it's worth it!

C'est bon, mais trop cher pour ce que tu as dans ton assiette. Je suis allée trois fois, pour trois occasions bien différent & à chaque fois le service était bien ordinaire. Je ne pense plus y retourner. À 42$ le déjeuner (repas,café,tx,service), c'est un pensez-y bien!
Le Brunch est bon. L'espace est restreinte, on est tassé! L'attente en file à l'extérieur est gênante. À vrai dire c'est un attrape touristes, on habite l'arrondissement depuis longtemps & nous y sommes allés que 2 fois, c'est bien suffisant pour nous!
First time going to L'Avenue restaurant on Mont-Royal Street for breakfast, but not the last time. Like Andy, the waiter said to us it's the OG of the restaurant. It's a small, cozy restaurant with beautiful artwork on the walls. The bathroom surprised me with it decorations (I won't spoil the surprise. It's pretty nice!) I had the classic eggs Benedict, & it was the best I've had in all the breakfast places I've been. It has a little spicy kick to it, & it made it perfect. The pistachio latte was delicious!! & what can I say about Andy? He was so nice, funny, & very helpful. I will be back!!
In my opinion this is a must go restaurant if you're looking for a quality brunch in Montreal. The staff is very kind & the food is amazing! We went on a Thursday around 9h30 & didn't have to wait for a table.
A wonderful breakfast with real maple syrup, thoughtfully made plates, & absolutely delicious. The service was quick, funny & charming too. Good reason why it's so popula

Je suis allée prendre un petit déjeuner en famille dans ce restaurant & nous avons tous beaucoup aimé. Les différents plats figurant au menu du brunch servi toute la journée, qu'ils soient sucrés ou salé, font tous particulièrement envie. Nous avons commandé des pancakes & de la brioche perdue & nous nous sommes vraiment régalés ; les assiettes étaient toutes généreusement garnies (peut-être un peu trop même, plusieurs d'entre nous avons dû emporter les restes) & tout était très bon. Par ailleurs, le choix de boissons chaudes est original. Enfin, le cadre est sympathique, l'ambiance est décontractée & le personnel est efficace. Les prix sont certes un peu élevés, mais le rapport qualité/prix reste intéressant.
Un peu d’attente au niveau de l’installation mais le personnel reste agréable malgré le monde, les plats sont très copieux, le rapport à qualité prix est top !
