Hello
This was my second visit at L'Avenue in Laval!
I wasn't on Yelp during my first visit

Cappuccino - My boyfriend had the cappuccino and as someone who really enjoys coffee, he really enjoyed it!
Nutella Coffee - Wow, no need for sugar, sweet, but not overly sweet. Definitely get the hint of Nutella from the first sip! Only little note was that I saw it was light, I assumed it came with milk automatically so I continued to sip it. When another waitress came to bring my boyfriend his second cappuccino, I asked her if there was milk in my coffee. She said yes but that I had the choice between milks (2%, oat, almond, soy, etc). Our main waitress hadn't given me the options so she offered to make me another with my choice of milk. I really appreciated this gesture and asked for oat instead!
The Indecisive : (Copied directly from the menu's website.) 2 free-range eggs served with homemade maple wood smoked beans, our l'Avenue breakfast potatoes and unlimited real maple syrup. With a choice of white baguette or multigrain bread, or a bagel with a choice of one sweet and one salty, I chose the homemade sausage and lemon ricotta pancakes and a blueberry compote.
My boyfriend also had the indecisive but chose bacon, french toast stuffed with pistachio cream and topped with a raspberry coulis.
Potato's: Really good and flavourful. I parked it with the L'Avenue hot sauce!
Eggs: Nothing crazy, sunny side up, typical :)
Homemade Sausage: i found the sausage a little drier than I would've expected but not too bad. However, I don't think I would order it again.
Maple Wood Smoked Beans: Amazing; wish it came in a bigger cup
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes & Blueberry Compote: Topped with whipped cream, this was absolutely to die for. Last time I came, I had the french toast stuffed with pistachio cream and topped with a raspberry compote. Honestly, BOTH are so amazing and decadent. It left my boyfriend and I STUFFED. Absolutely amazing. Would easily recommend either option.
Note: I didn't ask but I don't believe the plates come with a regular coffee like the average breakfast place. I'll fact check this next time and edit my review when I do!
Price: A little higher than the typical brunch spot but worth every penny for the quality of breakfast you're receiving! The decor is super nice and the staff is sweet!
Looking forward to my next visit
