L'Avenue in Montreal

Very hipster vibe. Tbh I expected to be disappointed when I walked in and thought it was just a gimmick. But the service was top notch,the food was delicious,and the portions were massive to the point where I couldn t even finish my omelette. I m picky with my diet and expected an expensive bill with the changes I made but it was less than any other spot on the street. Def my new go to!

Eggs, bacon, sausage, pancake, French toast was originally a popular and inexpensive lunch. Now its $40 ¯\_( )_/¯

Excellent service from Audrey! Attentive, smiling, efficient! Very large portions be advised, arrive hungry! The detox smoothie is delicious, as is the Californian omelette. First visit but not the last!

Super good

Very nice atmosphere and excellent service

A unique place on Mount Royal as well.

While passing through Montreal, this restaurant was a great discovery. The queue outside speaks for itself. I recommend L Indécis, pancakes with lemon, ricotta and blueberries. Accompanied by potatoes, a savory choice and a selection of bread, the meal was hearty, and I enjoyed it! If I have the opportunity to return to Montreal, I will return there with my eyes closed. A big thank you to Yasmina, who served us with a smile. His warm welcome is a credit to this establishment!

Awesome place for bunch in montreal, definitely worth it ! Portions went down over the years but it s still generous ! Pancakes are a must

Ive been there several times and have never been disappointed. The welcome is great, the service impeccable, the food excellent and plentiful. Its a trendy place to have brunch during the week or on the weekend. I can only recommend. In addition, it is located on the Mont-Royal plateau, a neighborhood where it is pleasant to walk. Count between $30 and $40 per person with drinks and taxes. Vegetarian options: Yes Kid-friendliness: Yes

Excellent service and food!

Awesome food

For the most part the food was good. This was my second time here, I was just a bit disappointed in the french toast as it tasted quite dry.

The portions are more than generous and very good on top of that. The room is, however, a little noisy and not very spacious.

Very large plates and eggs, lots of eggs!

Parking: Limited but if you come early you can find a spot! Food

Great American-style brunch Cool street vibe Original drinks and well served.

Fun experience in Montreal! Staff was very nice and food was amazing. Absolutely a must try!

Such a huge portion! Have to get there early or its gonna be a long line.

Very good restaurant! To try without hesitation.

I trusted in the 4.6 but we get disappointed. The plates are very generous but lack of taste. The service was great but the server didn t mention about the size of the plates and we eat half of what we order.

A brunch like no other! A great discovery of this place. The food is tasty and the service is impeccable. Note - The bathrooms are unique. They are worth the detour

Great food

10/10 experience. The food was gorgeously presented and delish, loved having the indecisive options as a sweet and savoury lover. Our server Yasmina was super sweet and personable while maintaining the professionalism expected from L Avenue. Would recommend the pistachio French toast and sitting in Yasmina s section .

Truly delicious!

Long queue on weekends. The pancakes and French toast are excellent!

Living in the neighborhood, Im one of the few who doesnt think this place is a tourist trap. My last experience made me change my mind unfortunately Lets start with the positive, the dishes are delicious and the service pleasant. For the issue of noise, crowds and crowded tables, the secret is to arrive before 10 a.m. to avoid any lineup! The negative: when ordering a dish, we were asked which we preferred between 2 choices. We discovered when the bill arrived that it was an extra charge that was never mentioned, neither on the menu nor by the waiter. This behavior therefore classifies the Avenue in the category of tourist traps, be wary and ask if each of the proposals costs money

Good and very generous brunch

Friendly staff, original and tasty dishes, cheerful and young atmosphere, even the toilets are fun. Take a paper menu, they are works of art where the staff is featured Vegetarian options: Many meat-free dishes

This is my number one go to brunch spot in Montreal. Never disappointing. The staff are very heart-warming and the food is mouth watering all day every day.

On vacation in Montreal, we discovered LAvenue on the advice of a local merchant. The dishes are of very good quality and original. And what about the welcome! Kindness and smiles that make this place a place to discover without hesitation. The Quebecois welcome!

Best breakfast place I ve ever been to, and I ve been to a lot. Their Eggs Benedict are to die for.

Come for the bathroom stay for the food.

I have been going to Avenue since 2018, but I am increasingly disappointed by the reduction in portions. The taste is still excellent, but the quantities keep getting smaller while the prices keep increasing. Recently, on the Indecis plate, I was treated to a mini piece of ham, lost between a few eggs and potatoes. All this for $32 (taxes and service included) without even a drink. Fortunately, the French toast is always there! We are a long way from the days when the plate was generously garnished, with a fruit skewer as a bonus! Too bad, because it was one of my favorite places. Unfortunately this will be my last visit.

Very well decorated restaurant, the dishes are very generous and excellent! The drinks are also very good, the waiter was really friendly and smiling ! Small bonus point for the absolutely incredible toilets!

It was great! A little wait on a Friday morning at the end of September at 11:30 a.m. (5-10min) We had a great time, the dishes were plentiful and of good quality. A plus for the decor of the toilets that we invite you to discover, it s an atmosphere!

Excellent service and breakfast.

Very pleasant and welcoming staff even when the restaurant is full! Good food and hearty dishes

The French toast is delicious and is a must if you decide to eat at this restaurant.

A good experience, the food is very delicious

LAvenue is a great little breakfast place that has amazing atmosphere and environment with delicious food. I highly recommend the carrot cake pancakes.

Wait was about 35 mins out front, they don t take your name down, you just stand in line and they seat you by how many are in your group as tables clear. Pecan French toast and 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.

The food was very good, only gripe was that the potatoes are a little overpowering- but that didn t distract from the generous and flavourful dishes that we were served. The server was polite and attentive, and the ambiance (especially the bathrooms) is fun and eclectic!

Definitely check out Shakshouka and French toasts theyre amazing! Plus, most of their dishes are great for sharing. If they want to make their food even better, Id recommend focusing on the fries. They were too greasy and not cooked well. Food

Sensational brunch

Finally, without having to wait at all on a Monday. Single friendly environment, and the food is great! Nice portion (I did not finish mine). The staff is very welcoming and attentive.

I ordered the salmon bene. It arrived cold. All cold, the sauce, the bagel... I told the waitress and she came back with the dish explaining to me that since the avocados and salmon came from the fridge, these foods cooled the whole dish... sad. Im 48 years old, Ive often eaten salmon buns and the sauce was hot as was the bagel. What do you take me for? A suitcase. $26 plus tax and tip for two babies and a plate of potatoes and everything is cold. I dont recommend it and I wont go back since they took me for a suitcase that has no taste.

I had high expectations based on the hype but came away disappointed. The service was quite chaotic - I got asked by 4 separate people within 2 minutes how many people were in my party. The QR code menu also wasnt working, but when I asked for a paper menu, it never arrived. Overall overpriced and not worth the wait.

You will not have a better breakfast/Brunch anywhere else in the City! The Servers are extraordinary! A wonderful experience, all in all!

The place was so loud, we couldn t hear each other nor the waiters and the waiters had to yell to us and other tables to hear each other. Some of the waiters were throwing dishes hard into the dish bin which was adding to the noise. We waited 20 min at our table before anyone poured us water or came to see us and they only came to our table because I flagged them down. Many tables also had to wait as long as us to be acknowledged or to pay. When the waitress got to our table, she cut us off in the middle of conversation and was talking very abruptly, as if she didn t like that we had asked her to come to the table which we did politely. Food was pretty good though and arrived in a timely manner after we ordered. I don t know if I d recommend this place nor go back, but if you go, I suggest you eat on the terrasse where you ll be able to hear each other.

Truly one of the best breakfasts

A perfect welcome and a great meal in a superb neighborhood. To do. Well done

It was my first time going to Montreal and the first brunch i ate there was amazing . Everything was great( food, environment ,staff) . The variety of food was so great that anyone with any taste can find something to eat there ,only one bad point was that we had to wait for more than an hour for our turn to go to the restaurant.

Worth all the hype.. side potatoes are best.. ask for fresh biological maple syrup .. eat with toast, put in coffee , add some on side potatoes..

Breakfast choice and quality is over the top

Everything was amazing! Little line up outside but well worth the wait. Portions sizes were huge and shareable Food

A pretentious place, expensive, no simple meal, portion much too big.

Trendy restaurant which is always crowded on weekends for morning service. The lunches are excellent and the portions generous. The staff are friendly and efficient. A little expensive but that comes with experience! The toilets are sick!!

Delicious and hearty brunch. Nice decoration. Don t forget to go to the toilet

Very good brunch. Sweet and savory choices. Everything is good in good quantities. Efficient service and very smiling and attentive servers. Good ambient music, maybe a little loud We really liked it!

The best brunch restaurant I ve ever been to. It really feels like there s a chef s touch in every dish. The food was incredibly tasty, with large portions, and the pistachio latte was delicious. Service was fast and friendly.

Yummy and deserve to lining up

Didnt know orange juice could be sexy or that a bathroom could be a disco ball

Great food, amazing Mimosa Passion cocktails, and stunning street art décor. The staff s professionalism, paired with their undeniable charm, makes the experience even better.

It s an amazing brunch place in Montreal. The food is delicious and the service was top notch. A huge shout out to Keegan who served us Labour Day long weekend, even though it was pretty busy, Keegan went out of her way to keep our luggage and serve us. She was simply amazing. All the staff were welcoming and had a smile on their faces. Such a beautiful place. Still can t get over the food. A must try and highly recommend this place. Thank you once again Keegan. Waiting to visit again.

This has to be THE BEST breakfast/brunch spot in Montreal. The atmosphere was amazing and the servers were super friendly. Special shout out to Keegan. You are amazing! :) We visited during a very busy time but they made sure everything was smooth. I dont think you can go wrong with anything on their breakfast menu. We tried 4 items from the indecisive options and they were all amazing!

Great food, big portions and good service

I generally liked the food and the variety of choices I liked the salmon and avocado Benedictine and a rosé sauce! Pistachio latte is good The service is very good

American breakfast restaurant The service is excellent The food is delicious, but the quantity is very large

The brunch serves huge, tasty portions, but is always very full. So depending on the time of day, service can be poor.

Great restaurant, large portions. Had French toast with pecans, a huge portion, didnt even finish half of it. Delicious. The whipped cream was great. Big pot of coffee

Very good restaurant, very good value for money, can be expensive at first, but the plates are well stocked

Excellent restaurant for breakfast and lunch. The lemon-blueberry pancakes are delicious!! price that leaves with a little bitter aftertaste, but the portions are very generous. I would go back without problem, I recommend!

Wonderful!!!!!

Avenue was my favorite brunch restaurant but for some time now I have found that the prices have increased a little more and there are fewer things on the plate. My favorite plate has always been mine, I take it all. But here the ham seems more like a decoration than a small portion. Elsewhere you can have ham, sausage, bacon, creton, baked beans, French toast, egg, potatoes, fruit decoration and coffee included for less.

Amazing

The cuisine is very tasty, although the service leaves something to be desired. The owners have clearly favored the number of place settings to the detriment of the comfort of the guests, so here we are all seated at the same large table. This is reminiscent of the atmosphere of a terrace overlooking the Place de la Bastille, with the difference that the view is hardly as pleasant and the hearing is greatly affected. I highly recommend this establishment for those who want to start their day with a before from 11 a.m. However, dont forget your earplugs if you want some aural peace of mind.

A Symphony of Flavors From the moment I stepped into, I was enveloped in a warm, inviting ambiance. The lively chatter and aroma of garlic and herbs filled the air, promising a delightful culinary experience. The staff was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with enthusiasm. Ready to dive in?

Our first time visiting Montreal, my family happened to pass by. It was a wonderful brunch. We especially loved the potatoes, eggs, and the wonderful varieties of flavors present in the French toast. Service was prompt and friendly. Would love to stop by again and try out more of the menu.

Excellent restaurant on Mont-Royal Street. Beautiful atmosphere thanks, among other things, to the pedestrian magpie.

We spend almost 3 hours to have a breakfast. Food was really good but expensive. Service was really bad we waited for 30 minutes for the bill. We waited for more than 30 minutes to give the order

One of the best places for breakfast in Montreal, and one of the busiest. If you are patient and dont mind waiting at least 30 minutes for a table, on a day where its not too busy, you will be well rewarded. Whatever you choose will be excellent, and you will leave with a full belly and a great Montreal breakfast experience!

Perfect spot for breakfast and lunch in town! We had an amazing time enjoying the best brunch dishes and drinks. A must-try destination!

Extra !!

Yummy is the word! Food was awesome: quality and freshness. Staff was really nice as well. Food : 5/5

Very good restaurant, perfect for brunch! The proportions are generous, the value for money is perfect, the service is very pleasant! I recommend

Music a little loud indoors but the meal was excellent. We enjoy maple syrup on request

A very original restaurant. The service is perfect and the food is very good and plentiful. A small downside though, it is extremely noisy.

Excellent service, fast and efficient. Quality and delicious food!

Is the wait worth it? Absolutely. I had the indecisive with blueberry-lemon crepes and its going to be very difficult to order anything else in the future. Perfect plate!

Incredible brunch I enjoyed (the pistachio filling is to die for). The potatoes are very well seasoned. I recommend the seeded bread as an accompaniment. The cocktails/smoothies are also very good. Bonus point for Drakes music and Kaytranadas latest album played during our meal

The food and the service is on top. Definitely will come back.

Great service, delicious food, funky and fun atmosphere.

Super good restaurant with exceptional decor and great food.

Delicious brunch. Large portions. Fast service. Eclectic and interesting ambience. Not super expensive at all. The two of us were seated pretty fast but be prepared to wait if youre a larger group than that.

We had the pleasure of having lunch and it was a 10/10 experience - The food is amazing!!!!!they have a small menu but the they really do the food absolutely well. The salmon egg benny was the bomb! The oreo shake was simply amazing - The staff is very friendly and very attentive. We were served by Yasmin and she is just lovely, professional and knowledgeable. We would love to meet her when we come back again - The atmosphere is nice but it can be crowded inside because the space is small. Nevertheless it s a nice experience

exceptional. Oreo milkshake was the best I ever had.

We went here for breakfast, and they had a variety of eye-catching options. We ended up getting Bobby Does Dallas and The Indecisive with Lemon and Blueberry Pancakes. All were very delicious. Bobby Does Dallas tends to be a little sweet, possibly because of the caramelized onion and another ingredient, which gives the steak a unique and delightful taste. However, it may become a bit repetitive and too much if you plan to finish the whole dish.

Ive never been there because of the line but its worth it

Amazingly delicious food

I don t like the waitress here when I reacted the sausage is gamey and there is a bug flying my juice though I almost finished my drink. The waiter did nothing reaction to me and even without saying sorry and didn t say a good bye and have a nice day to me. When I dine in the somewhere, in this situation, waitress will usually apologize to me at least. I was surprised the waitress here.

This place never disappoints, we waited about 35 minutes in line but it was totally worth it! The food is delicious, with plenty of options, all in a great atmosphere. I ll definitely be back.

Great brunch place. Be prepared to wait, we were group of 6.

Very good brunch in Montreal! Weve been there several times and its always delicious. The menu is varied and never disappoints. Friendly service. Just the waiting time can be scary but its worth it. A sure value that I highly recommend!

One of our favorite lunch spots. Everything from the food to the ambiance is superb. Hearty lunches, top quality. 100%

Best popular breakfast spot, IMO. You ll be full!!! Bathrooms are quite eccentric too!

I was served by Audrey, such a kind and attentive waitress. We see the experience and the skill. Best waitress ever Great food!!

The food was not as we expected. Very expensive foods and the place was too crowded with loud music. The atmosphere was more stressful than relaxing.

Excellent dish with wonderful service

Big disappointment given the positive reviews which made us choose the Avenue. Bland and not very filling dishes, raspberry/pistachio French toast whose merits had been praised to me so dry... Clearly the value for money is not there ($90 for 2 for brunch, we can clearly wait and find better), we will not come back.

Waited for 1 hour for food, the food itself was ok but definitely did worth the wait

I love coming there from time to time because the prices are still quite expensive but the food is very good. The team is welcoming. I like the atmosphere and the decor of the bathrooms.

Its very good and caters to all tastes but gosh I cant believe people wait in line for brunch. Show up before 10am.

What a great place to have a family breakfast. The Food was outstanding. I little pricey. $193.00 for 4 + a 6 year old, for a breakfast. But very good. The service was the best I have seen in a long time.

Great, fast, good, a fabulous brunch, juices too good and huge. I recommend if you are in Montreal, its worth the little detour

Boyfriend and I had a fabulous brunch experience at L Avenue. The eclectic decor and delicious food, especially the pistachio and tiramisu French toast, definitely seem worth the wait. If youre looking for a trendy brunch spot in Montreal with a creative menu, LAvenue sounds like a great option.

Amazing first brunch in Montreal. The panko crusted French toast used for the SweetSavory+ Crunchy was so unique and delicious. I loved the honey orange glazed ham and the thickness of the emmental cheese was absolutely perfect. The portions were massive we couldn t finish at all! Also their hot sauce is so freaking good I wish they sold it !! Bonus for the cretons that reminded me of pâté! Iced latte was nice love the sugar rim so tasty (but warning it melts down the glass while sitting on patio becomes quite messy and sticky)

Very good brunch, good value for money, generous quantities Be careful for those looking for a quiet place, this may not be the right one because the atmosphere is quite noisy

Generous portions, good prices, good ambiance, staff are nice, quality food is good. I liked their coffee. A great brunch place.

Foods, Drinks and Services were JUST PERFECT

Excellent and very generous!!

Great and tasty huevos rancheros, good coffee and great service. A Montreal classic!

Wow .. my first breakfast in Montreal .. and the bar has been set very hight . Great food and amazing atmosphere. I had the have it all with scrambled eggs, French toast and pancakes. Oh .. the bacon and sausage .. to die for !! Great tasting everything My choice

Staff was nice ! Ive enjoyed the terrasse outside !

yea maybe it s a little overhyped and touristy but look at these french toasts. i have no complaints about the tiramisu only for how long i had to wait for it in line .so be prepared for that if you re going on a weekend

Very impressive, the environment and the brunch. A little too salty, but still delicious. A beautiful place for the weekend morning with friends..

The best brunch place in Montreal hands down! Big portions, great service and amazing maple syrup

Good portions, delicious

Great brunch, good coffee, hearty dishes. Good value for money. Impeccable service.

I ate the duck benés as well as tasted their homemade sausage. A real treat

Went for the pecan pie French toast. Exceeded expectations. Most delicious breakfast ever!!! Bagel and homemade cream cheese was super yummy also. We actually ate there twice during our 4 days in Montreal. Superb both times. Awesome atmosphere, inside and out. We truly enjoyed both breakfasts here. Whether you need to or not, go to the restroom on the right. You re welcome.

Excellent brunch address in Montreal. One of the best Ive tasted here. Thanks to Endy for this service and welcome. The prices are correct in relation to the quantity supplied. Vegetarian options: Vegetable dough

While passing through Montreal, we passed by the restaurant Lavenue located a few dozen meters from our rental. We loved it! We went there at least three times for our breakfasts. We loved it as much for the original decor (between the ZXR 750 hanging from the ceiling, the nightclub mens toilets, etc.), as well as the very friendly little waitress, but also and above all their ultra copious brunch breakfasts, and super good! Choice, fast service, and a treat for the eyes! Back in France, this will remain one of our good memories of our time in Montreal. <3

Breakfast with pancakes and real maple syrup, very well eaten and a very welcoming waitress

Breathtaking! The meals are plentiful. An amazing menu that will please everyone! Vegetarian options: Lots of meat-free options!

This was so delicious, every part was good. The portions were huge but the platters are definite way to go to get a taste of everything. They had homemade sausages and branded hot sauce and syrup that were great. Such a fun vibe inside will definitely go again! Although there was a wait it was pretty quick and definitely worth it.

Its not an Internet celebrity restaurant, but I still had to wait in line for 30 minutes. The food was delicious and the service was good. When I was serving the food, I adjusted the position of the plate and accidentally dropped the fork, but the waiter caught it with good skill and replaced it with a new fork. Audrey patiently introduced and recommended delicious dishes and delicious restaurants worth recommending.

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, and I was full off the main items. The French toast was killer and melted in our mouths, only ate half of it and 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 and 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

As far as I am concerned this was the best brunch and breakfast in North America. Periodt. I had the Ill have it All a few times and its my favorite. Everything was wonderful, eggs, pancake, french toast and the bacon is cooked perfectly. The coffee was wonderful I had the bowl of latte. ONLY NEGATIVE - its not located in New York or closer to me

Amazing restaurant beautiful presentation and the coolest bathrooms hahahaha

After watching a YouTube review of this place I made it a Must Go stop on this trip. The place did NOT disappoint. It s a smaller place and the tables are packed in there but that really helps set the atmosphere. It s loud. For anyone that s noise-a-phobic this one may trigger you but I found it great and could clearly hear the person I was with. The service was fast and they have no problem with English for the travellers in town that struggle with ordering in French. The food was great and you can watch it being prepared at the open counter. A very eclectic place to eat at and a must go for anyone serious about breakfast and brunch.

Always a pleasure for us. The brunches are amazing and the service is fabulous.

You have to be patient to get a table, but its worth it. Take a toilet trip

The food was absolutely amazing!!!!! No complains like literally amazing then I had to piss and the restaurant went from 4.5 stars to a solid 10 stars please use the washroom if you ever get the chance

Amazing service and I highly recommend the Nutella coffee

Unreal food and super nice and attentive wait staff. I always come here when Im in Montreal. Couldnt recommend it enough.

food is so delicious , variety of choices Jasmine waitress was nice and helpful although we asked for the drinks to be served with food but it came after we finished our breakfast The person who greeted us at the entrance ( jessica ) was nice at first but as soon as we asked her to take back the tea and serve it with the food so we dont have to drink cold she got mad and talked very rude to us with bad altitude and told us that we should of told her from beginning and its to late . Jessica ruined our experience we did informed her colleague about her behavior and she didnt even care to apologize .

Nutella coffee was so good I even got one to go. Service was ok, they were busy and it showed. I ordered the salmon Benny which was nice, a bit cold overall. My husband enjoyed his place he got a mix of the big breakfast. Restaurant atmosphere is cool and bathrooms are definitely one of a kind
