Le restaurant L'Avenue est le lieu de rendez-vous des gens à la mode qui veulent savourer des spécialités comme le très réputé déjeuner aux portions généreuses ou l'assiette de fruits exotiques.
Dans l’ensemble, L'Avenue est un spot de brunch très prisé à Montréal, réputé pour ses portions généreuses et son menu créatif qui mêle du sucré et du salé, avec des incontournables tels que les oeufs benedictine, le shakshuka et le pain dore Dubai aux pistaches; l'ambiance est dynamique et colorée, parfois disco, avec une decoration urbaine et des toilettes qui constituent une experience en soi; le service est généralement chaleureux et efficace, et les conseils des serveurs accompagnent bien l'assise meme en période de forte affluence; les temps d'attente peuvent etre longs, surtout le week-end, mais les avis sont d'accord pour dire que cela vaut le coup; les portions gigantesques invitent souvent au partage ou emporter les restes, et le rapport qualite-prix est juge correct compte tenu de la quantite et de la fraicheur des ingredients; certains critiques mentionnent le niveau sonore et la musique parfois trop forte, tandis que l'offre vegan est variable d'un plat a l'autre; au final, L'Avenue demeure une reference incontournable pour un brunch gourmand et festif a Montreal, attirant des clients fideles qui y reviennent regulierement.
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!
L'Avenue is & has been for years hands down one of Montreal's brunch gems. I had about a 15 minute wait outside this time, but it was absolutely worth it just like every visit over the years. The eggs Benedict were perfection, & everything else on the table was just as impressive. Portions are generous, flavors are spot on, & the presentation is always creative. The vibrant decor gives the place such a fun energy, & the staff are consistently warm, attentive, & efficient, no matter how busy it gets. L'Avenue never a letdown!
My boyfriend & I came here for lunch. We got there early to line up before the lunch rush, they don't take reservations. We waited 25 minutes.
We sat on the outside patio. It was hot, but we were in the shade which was nice.
We started off with an iced matcha & a cold brew. I've had better matcha elsewhere, so definitely try something else off the drink menu. The cold brew was good.
I got the classic eggs benedict. The portion looked small, but it was actually very filling. The ham did get a little salty towards the end, but still really good. The poached eggs & potatoes were amazing. The true star of the meal was the hollandaise sauce, it was super.
My boyfriend got the'have it all' breakfast. It came with eggs, sausage, ham, bacon, potatoes, beans, french toast, & a pancake. Everything was great, & it was nice to be able to try a wide variety of foods in one plate.
Staff was super friendly, & service was great. We would definitely come back.
Perfect start for our trip with the best service & food!!!We tried eggs Benedict & SweetSavory + Crunchy!!!The food was amazing!!!The place to be if you want the perfect start of the day!!!
L'Avenue has been has been my favourite breakfast place in Montreal since forever. Been coming here for years. Nobody makes eggs benedict better than they do. Nobody.

Possibly the worst eggs benedict I've ever had. I ordered the duck, but it was more like a mushroom/arugula casserole with a few chunks of duck meat. They used duck eggs, which are minuscule, & tiny English muffins. So what's supposed to be the main part was more like a barely noticeable garnish. The potatoes were soggy & flavourless, too. & who makes eggs benedict without hollandaise sauce?
On top of it all, for reasons known only to management, the lone bathroom light is a disco ball (so you can't see anything) & the bathroom has a 360° mirror so when there is a bit light flashing you get a panoramic view of yourself in the worst possible context.
All this for $28 before tax & tip. Never going back there again.
L'Avenue was amazing! The portions were huge & the food was incredibly satisfying. I had the Bobby Does Dallas & the classic Eggs Benedict, both packed with flavour & very filling
The blueberry pancakes were also delicious.
Ceaser was one of the best I've had in Montreal. Would come back for brunch again.
A must go brunch store. Every dish is so big & so good too! It's really affordable! I love the truffle duck egg Benedict! The omelet is so tasty as well! Def will come back again! Don't forget to check their dope restrooms!
Vraiment déçue. Leurs recettes semblent différentes de leur resto à Saint-Henri. Les oeufs bénédictines étaient gluants & extrêmement sucrés, aucune épices dans l'omelette, le'latté à la pistache' est en fait un latté normal avec des miettes de pistaches collées sur le bord de la tasse...Vraiment ordinaire pour le prix.

Breakfast & Brunch heavy weight in Montrael that deserves the hype. Plan ahead & consider coming at off peak hours because there is going to be a crowd at almost any hour. Service really is great, servers are pros. The indecisive menu hits on all cylinders but make sure you are hungry portions are huge. The Benedict's are amazing recommend the Pink Salmon Benny. Drinks menu is eclectic as the food menu. Recommend the Nutella coffee a lot less sweet than I expected which was great for me. If your looking for a solo disco party the bathrooms here got you
Super brunch chez L'Avenue Notre-Dame ! L'ambiance est originale, le staff sympa, & la bouffe vraiment bonne. J'ai adoré les oeufs bénédictine & les portions sont très généreuses. J'y retournerais sans hésiter.
The Saint-Ambroise Benedict is really good (& vegetarian) ! The onion & mushrooms are really well seasoned🍄. The potatoes spices are great. You can taste the quality of the eggs🍳 & you can see it from the orange color of the egg yolk!
If you get the chance to go to the Avenue on South Shore, it's even better. The flavor there is better balanced (less vinegary from the Marinated red onion) & they put more cheese 😉.
---
Les oeufs bénédictines Saint-Ambroise sont bonnes! Les oignons & les champignons sont bien sautés avec du beurre🍄. Les patates à épices sont bonnes. Tu peux goûter que ce sont des bons oeufs🍳, & voir leur qualités dans la couleur foncée du jaune d'oeuf!
Si vous avez l'occasion d'aller à la succursale à Brossard, je vous le conseille. C'est meilleur, car ils balancent mieux le goût & mettent plus de fromage😉!
Great brunch if a little on the pricey side. I hade the'indecisive' with sticky toffee pudding pancakes & they were incredible. I'm a huge fan of their indecisive options, because they combine traditional breakfast (eggs, sausage, bread) with a sweet option. Great sweat & savoury brunch! Others ordered the tiramisu French toast & eggs Benedict which were solid.
The ambiance is a little odd & a little intense for brunch but nothing that impacts the meals. The bathrooms are weird with lots of flashing disco lights. I thought they were fun but I can see people finding them stressful.

we went on a Monday morning & we did have to wait in line for a bit. however, i could not visit Montreal & not try L'avenue. the Bobby Does Dallas (top) was reallyyy good & flavourful, but the truffle duck benedict was kinda underwhelming. the duck was unseasoned unfortunately, but it wasn't bad of a meal. the potatoes were super good! they also have their own hot sauce which i thought was pretty good. i give this place a 5/5 even tho my meal wasn't necessarily up to par because the service was super good. the people were so so nice & accommodating ! nonetheless, when i do come back to Montreal potentially, i will for sure try something else bc the truffle duck benedict was not really the best & was not worth my money.
J'ai aimé en général la nourriture & la variété des choix J'ai aimé les bénédictine au saumon & avocat & une sauce rosé! Le café laté au pistache est bien Le service est très bien
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.
Omg... where do we start Delicous food great vibe, a little tight, long line during lunch but worth the wait. If coming early or late no line but right at lunch it will be a line down the street. It moves fast but come patient 😅 No reservations first come first serve. Me; tiramisu indecisive: my favorite thing were the potatoes, wow! I got guac in place of pork on plate, & I was full off the main items. The French toast was killer & melted in our mouths, only ate half of it & one small slice of multigrain bread. I got a pistachio latte... 🤤 I mean whatttttt yeah the food coma was real! My hubby got eggs Benedict steak & eggs; loved all the food but vibe was his favorite! The atmosphere was his thing 🥳 Needless to say this is a MUST when in Montreal 🫡 MY respects L'Avenue
