It's good but choice is a bit limited : It'S either omelettes, french toasts or grilled cheese, so don't expect 2 eggs bacon ! But the food and coffee are good and service is excellent.

We learned from the Two Gay Expats on YouTube that this was the place to try based on the charismatic chef Michael Tozzi and his renowned ricotta pancakes. Jamie W and I got here late on a weekday morning. Sure enough there was a queue. Dame fortune must've smiled upon us because we moved to the head of the line as a party of two. Even though the threat of rain hung over us, we were seated in the front parklet and quite happily since the dining room inside looked packed. We started with a couple of C$6.25 Iced Maple Lattes because it felt like the Canadian thing to do. They provided a welcome caramel-like sweetness to our refreshment (Photo 9). Jamie was more conscientious about his entree and ordered the C$26.99 Crunchy Sesame Chicken Salad, quite a mound of delights: romaine, cabbage, carrot, celery, shredded chicken breast, cashews, cilantro, fried wontons, and sesame chicken (Photo 8). Both the textures and flavors meshed really well together. Of course you can guess what I ordered, the C$27 Ricotta Pancakes with brown butter maple sauce, lemon cream, and Quebec strawberries (Photo 10). Light and nicely aerated, the fluffy ricotta pancakes absorbed all the complimentary flavors really well. Dandy was indeed dandy. FOOD - 5 stars...brunch fare done right, especially those pancakes AMBIANCE - 4 stars... crowded but not overwhelming SERVICE - 4.5 stars...nicely attentive TOTAL - 5 stars...genuinely dandy RELATED - Exploring Montreal?

I order the pancakes with strawberries- the right amount of sweetness and texture. I also had the iced tea which was a cool summer day refreshing. To finish it off, I had their chocolate chip and pecan cookie. This plan has a long queue, but sets expectations and is gracious when chatting with people. I wish I had time to try more things on the menu. A lovely vibe.

This was my second visit to L'Avenue Mont-Royal. This place is already in my "Top 10" Collection;…read moreif I were actually ranking those places, L'Avenue would certainly move up in the standings after visit #2. That was due in part to some new breakfast options since last time, which I'll file under "Ridiculously decadent and delicious." This time, for me, that was their "Indecisive" breakfast option including the Dubai Chocolate French Toast. Since my last visit, I've also switched from coffee to tea, and my order included English Breakfast. I was wondering why it took so long to arrive, my thought was, "It's just hot water and a tea bag." Bzzzt, wrong! I was actually brought a heavy duty porcelain teapot with the English Breakfast leaves steeping, and they did not deliver it until it was ready. Well done!! For me, no trip to Montreal is complete without a visit to at least one L'Avenue restaurant (yes there are more!)

It is very loud with everyone talking, so much that I have a hard time understanding the person talking next to me. The service is ok. As for the food. I didn't find the usual plate I take at other breakfast place which is 2 eggs, all meat (bacon, sausages, beans and ham) with either pancake or French toast. So I took the Petinos which is 2 eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, porc roast, potato and fruits (which include pickle) and toast. Egg are small, smaller than im used too. It was good, but I feel 22$ for that was too much. Other took what they call a mont blanc which is a waffle with toppings, 2 eggs and choice of 1 meat. They did like it. It's a good place if the menu have what you desire. Just a bit pricier side for a breakfast. Any substitution or change come at a cost.

It isn't very fancy or decorated like the Montreal places are like, however it seemed simple and a neighborhood joint for the locals. We sat outside and the waitress very sweetly took our orders. We had to use the translator as the entire menu was in French. The waitress was kind enough to translate everything and walk us through the menu. I listened to her and ordered my crepes and the husband went for a buttery croissant and the omelette. The food was beautifully seasoned and the quantity was perfect. I was under the impression that crepes were thinner, but it was a combination of a pancake and a crepe. I won't complain because it tasted wonderful. The fruits were fresh and tasted sweet and citrusy. The omelette was packed with ham, sausage and bacon, the home fries were crispy. We really enjoyed our meal and was full till we reached home. I just wish they had translated their menu a bit for tourists like us!

On our first visit, Charlotte took wonderful care of us. The menu's ham and cheese option, which looked like a scone, seemed a bit heavy, so I asked if she could offer something lighter. Though a ham and cheese croissant isn't on the menu, she kindly offered to bring me the ingredients so I could make my own. I ordered a plain croissant with capicola, a ham-and-salami-style cold cut, and cheese on the side, then assembled my own sandwich at the table. I was so happy she accommodated me, and the simplicity and quality of the ingredients were perfect alongside one of the best lattes we've had in a very long time. On our second visit, Violet served us with the same warmth. I knew exactly what to ask for, and she delivered just as Charlotte had. We enjoyed great lattes with an extra shot of espresso on the side, and a hot chocolate that our son called one of the best he's ever had. The atmosphere is lively and cozy, with people chatting, warm lighting, and lovely decor. It's a bit tight inside and gets very crowded, but we were lucky to be seated right away both times, and we felt truly blessed as we watched a long line form outside. This is a staple for us, and it will definitely be on our list the next time we're in Old Montreal.
