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.
Gym dude omelette was interesting tasted good, for those who want that protein it's a great choice. The Dubai chocolate French toast was great enjoyed eating that as well. Nice sit down spot & artistic drawings
Back at L'Avenue on Mont-Royal after a couple of years, & it reminded me why it's one of our favorite breakfast spots. The service was excellent, our server was super attentive & patient. The menu has changed a bit, & surprisingly, there was no lineup to get s table.
The food is still very on point. I ordered The Indecisive with the pistachio French toast, & wow - that pistachio French toast was next level, seriously so good. 😋 The pistachio latte was also very delicious & paired perfectly with the meal.
I find it unfortunate that they no longer have vegan options. I remember they used to have a few delicious vegan plates but that is no longer the case.
Prices are on the higher side, but honestly that seems to be the norm for breakfast spots these days. Still, the quality & experience made it worth it. Definitely happy we came back.

Got brunch here for the first time last Friday with some friends. We got there sometime around 11:30am & had to wait ~10 minutes for a table. After being sat, we had some time to look at the menu. After figuring out what I wanted, I took the time to really look at the interior-it's so beautiful! There's a funky, retro, disco vibe to the place that makes it fun & inviting!
I ordered the Bobby Tries Istanbul, while my friends ordered the shakshuka & french toast. All the food was absolutely delicious & very filling! We even had a bit left over that we snacked on later.
The service was also great! Our servers were super kind & even packed up our to-go boxes for us! Would definitely recommend & I'll be coming back here the next time I'm in the city!
An outstanding café for a good brunch. The pancakes & French toast were huge & very tasty. The service was very friendly. & we will definitely returning.

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.
L'Avenue is the first place we took my niece in Montreal. We wanted her to experience L' Avenue, from the good food & the great staff, the artand generally good vibes. I ordered the californian omelette. It was huge & light & fluffy at the same time. My husband & my niece both got the Tiramisu french toast. They both liked it.It did however reminded me of Eataly's Tiramisu pancakes which I loved. Needless to say, my niece loved her exprience at L' Avenue. for parking are few & far bet
Parking - it was only metered street parking, we came early so we found parking pretty easily but when we were leaving we could see that spaces were few. & far between.
Prices - Although I love this place, I do think it's a bit pricey for what it is.With that said, I consider this a tourist stop for Montreal.
Came here to eat 2 of the indecisive menu tiramisu french toast & Pistachio french toast, they were so bomb!! Potatoes are well cooked also not too greasy & good portion of meat we got bacon & sausage. The maple syrup was 100% & was so good to pair w the french toast :))
Since there are no reservations, we waited for about 45 minutes for a table but it was SO WORTH IT. The French toast is divine & the portions were more than enough!! The whole place is a vibe. A must go-to!!

Amazing brunch spot! The Dubai Chocolate French Toasts, filled with pistachio butter & crunchy kataifi, were out of this world - I absolutely loved every bite!
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.
The food did not meet the hype. Our French toast had a soapy taste, the pancake was too dry, the potatoes very greasy. The best part of our brunch was the orange juice, tbh. Service was great & the atmosphere was nice once the restaurant quieted down a bit.
Hearty & heavy is a big word here. Come hungry. Pretty delicious. Had the indecisive with poached eggs, pistachio french toast with vegan patte. Pretty excellent.

10/10 experience. The food was gorgeously presented & delish, loved having the indecisive options as a sweet & savoury lover. Our server Yasmina was super sweet & personable while maintaining the professionalism expected from L'Avenue. Would recommend the pistachio French toast & sitting in Yasmina's section🙌.
Definitely check out Shakshouka & French toasts - they're amazing! Plus, most of their dishes are great for sharing. If they want to make their food even better, I'd recommend focusing on the fries. They were too greasy & not cooked well.
Wait was about 35 mins out front, they don't take your name down, you just stand in line & they seat you by how many are in your group as tables clear. Pecan French toast & dirty chai were yummy. Barbacoa breakfast dish was aight. Not much flavor goin on. Bathrooms are dope. Staff is super friendly. Overall was good! Just maybe not worth the wait / hype if the line is super long when you get there.
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.
