Reviews describe L'Avenue as a lively, popular brunch spot with large, generous portions and a creative menu, where dishes like eggs Benedict variations, shakshuka, and sweet pancakes receive praise, and the vibe, decor, and friendly staff are frequently highlighted. The experience can vary with busy lines on weekends and occasional slow or impersonal service, but many guests say the food is consistently delicious and the drinks well made, and the overall atmosphere is worth the wait, with some noting dietary options such as gluten free or vegan can be limited. Most leave satisfied and plan to return, making it one of the city's top brunch destinations.
Visited back in April 2022. I had to leave a review after 4 years because I still dream about the steak & mushroom eggs benny I ate here. A bit on the pricier side but totally worth it. They've since opened a location in Toronto, which I've been meaning to try as well.
L'Avenue is by far one of the best brunch spots in Montreal. They do a fantastic job at plating the food, & every dish that passes you by on the way to another diner makes you wish you ordered that instead. The food is delicious! I had the Californian omelet, Wow! Cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, mushrooms, red onions, avocado, salsa & jalapeno cream, all on top of a giant fluffy egg pancake. Service is exceptional with a nice friendly staff. My only complaint is they still ask customers to use the pandemic era QR codes stuck to the tables, which is simply annoying 5 years post covid.... Especially since they have the most unique & interesting physical menus I've seen in a long time (you need to insist & they'll give you one).
Excellent service de Ray!! 🙌
Nous avons adoré notre expérience du dimanche matin. La qualité de la nourriture était remarquable, avec un menu original qui se démarque vraiment des restos-déjeuners traditionnels. Chaque plat était savoureux & bien présenté.
L'ambiance est chaleureuse, le décor invitant, & malgré l'achalandage d'un dimanche à 9 h, le service est demeuré attentionné & efficace.
This was my first time at this location & I don't regret going to this place, it's Mother's Day so I took my wife & we just arrived on time because few minutes later the restaurant was packed. Service was excellent & amazing, a professional & very knowledgeable & helpful. Food was delicious & generous portions. Atmospheric was fantastic, if I could given 10 stars, I would have. Definitely coming back because it's only 12 minutes drive from our home & business . I highly recommend this establishment. Thank you because you guys made day a memorable.

INCROYABLE ! L'un des meilleurs brunch que j'ai testé à Montréal… le « bénédictes steak & eggs » a été mon plat préféré !!! 👀
Les quantités sont incroyables, les assiettes sont belles & bonnes, le personnel sont super gentils & accueillant..
Il y a eu un peu d'attente quand nous y sommes passés (30 min environ un dimanche à 12h avant d'avoir une table)
Je recommande à 100% & je reviendrais ! 🤪🥞
Grosse incompréhension du restaurant sur la réservation fait la semaine passée ce qui nous a valu 1 heure d'attente…
Mais rien a dire sur la nourriture & le service.
Had a great time, perfect brunch to bring teenagers. Took us 30+ minutes outside to get a table for 5 on a Saturday, be bear smart, arrive early & enjoy.

Une véritable claque culinaire ! 🤯
Ce restaurant est une pépite absolue : chaque bouchée est une explosion de saveurs qui réveille les papilles comme jamais. Franchement, ça faisait une éternité que je n'avais pas mangé quelque chose d'aussi délicieux… une vraie révélation !
Mention spéciale pour le service, tout simplement irréprochable.
L'équipe est aux petits soins, avec des conseils parfaitement maîtrisés qui subliment encore plus l'expérience.
Petit incident au passage 😅 : un aliment m'est tombé dessus & a laissé une belle tache de gras sur mon pantalon… mais honnêtement, c'était tellement délicieux que ça en devient presque anecdotique !
L'expérience reste exceptionnelle du début à la fin : des saveurs incroyables, une vraie explosion en bouche, & un service au top avec des conseils parfaitement avisés.
Impossible de laisser ce détail gâcher une telle pépite ; je recommande les yeux fermés !
😍 You can't believe how good this place is. Everyone was really satisfied with their brunch, & it was such a great spot to hang out & enjoy the meal.
There were so many options to choose from, & everything we tried was great. Definitely a place I'd come back to.
We loved this place, we ordered the Dallas & Istanbul special items fo brunch & enjoyed! Just beware that the portions can be huge. We def could go with 1 item for two as we both had leftovers.
Also this place is huge, don't get overwhelmed by the lineup, it goes perfect fast.
Super friendly & welcoming staff! They gave us great service, generous portions, & delicious food! Many options for all kinds of tastes - & a very interesting bathroom!
