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.
Breakfast was so amazing, they had great options for eggs benedict that were creative & delicious. The shakshuka was also awesome & their drinks & smoothies were also top notch. The service was excellent & our waitress was so funny & welcoming we had a great time. We even went back the next day because it was so good.

Angel, our server, was amazing! The service & the food were both incredible. I highly recommend trying the Benedict & the meat toast & the pistachio latte was on another level of good!
I'll 100% come back if I visit Montreal again.
We had a 7-day vacation starting from Montreal, then Quebec City, & finally Ottawa, & tried at least 14 different restaurants & L'Avenue was THE BEST!
Just a heads-up: it's totally normal to wait in line here, especially in a city like Montreal where people love eating out. Definitely worth the wait!
Le lieu idéal si vous voulez faire un brunch . Attention ne prévoyez pas de manger le reste de la journée car c'est vraiment très très copieux.
Les assiettes sont généreuses, bien présenté & le tout très bon.
super belle place de brunch. vraiment crowded donc n'arrive pas trop tard... La file avance somewhat rapidement, ne te décourage pas. La bouffe est super bonne & le staff est vraiment gentil.
Accueil très sympathique & même si la musique n'était pas ce que j'écoute elle n'était pas abrutissante. Les plats sont très copieux & nous n'étions pas les seuls à repartir avec notre doggy bag.
Très bon brunch ! Nous avons adoré, cuisine fait maison, salé comme sucré. Il y en a pour tous les goûts & tous les estomacs ! Je vous conseille de voir les portions avant de choisir, & si, comme moi, vous avez pris un brunch complet & un dessert derrière, vous pourrez emporter le reste à la maison. Prévoyez un peu d'attente tout de même (entre 10 & 30min). Service très accueillant.
Food portions were wonderfully large, food was very tasty, the ambience is good, & our server was great.
This was our first visit, but would definitely come again if we're back in the area.
Have been coming to this place for years now, & it used to be one of my favourite places to have brunch. On my most recent visit the food just did not hit the spot. I tried something new on the menu'Bobby discovers Istanbul' & it sounded great in the description, but it just did not hit the mark for me. Lack of flavour & seasoning, it just tasted very plain. Potatoes were very stale & also lacked flavour. Service was friendly!

Some of the best food I had in Montreal! Wish they had more half portion options as they give you SO much! So suggestion is for that & lil cheaper for less food ;)
Just had breakfast at L'Avenue Mont-Royal & wow, totally worth the hype. The portions are huge, the flavors are incredible, & the service is friendly & fast once you're seated. There's usually a wait to get in, but honestly, it's worth every minute. Perfect spot for a big, satisfying brunch.
Très bonne ambiance ! Nous avons bien mangé, les assiettes sont très copieuses. Les cafés sont délicieux (essayez le moka !!). Les toilettes sont super stylés. Je recommande
