Service was kind but extremely slow, not in the cultural leisure meal way, but in the it'll take you 30-45 min to get seated, potentially understaffed kind of way. Great food though and worth the wait!

We tried this place for the first time and it was great! We went to Montreal for family trip and…read morefound this cute brunch place on Instagram. This place was not so crowded so we didn't need to wait outside, and the foods was so delicious! We tried their salmon avocado bagel, their Burrata sandwich, and French toast which comes with strawberry, blueberry and banana with Nutella and Maple syrup, and a fruit cup on the side. The portion was pretty big and shareable. My favorite dish was the French toast. Their French toast was so soft and melted in my mouth!! The French toast was pretty sweet with Nutella and the maple syrup, but it perfectly matched with all the fruits. The other dishes were delicious as well, the portion of salmon in the bagel was pretty good and tasted amazing! The server was nice too :) I recommend you to try this place if you haven't!

Parking is now also free for up to 4hours, you can park comfortably indoors anytime. First time trying this chain, we ordered a coconut calamari appetizer, which sounded and looked great in the photo, but the shape and texture of the calamari was very odd once we got it. These were kind of like rounded french fries, did not taste like coconut at all and had a spicy sauce. These are not your fresh breaded calamari, they appear to be frozen. We sampled a korean style steak sandwich with side of ceasar salad and I got the blackened chicken breast and pasta. The food descriptions all seem very unique and fresh when we read the menu but once it arrives, it seems like there are missing some components, kind of disappointing. My pasta was average, cold too when it arrived, the sandwich had good asian flavors and meat was tender however. I think the items are hit or miss - often the description seems a lot better than reality. We ate during a friday afternoon, place was empty - service was prompt, no issues. Don't think i'll be back as food is quite average for price. The variety of options and nice location is what draws you in.

We didn't have to wait long for a table outside and service was very fast! Onto the food! We ordered as a group and split everything. The Saint-Ambroise Benedict was amazing! No meat but it didn't need it. The beer cheese on top was so creamy and delicious! Bobby does Dallas was everything you could want in a savory breakfast. Steak, eggs, bbq sauce, cheese mushrooms and onions. Together it was one of our favorites of the day! We also got the peaches and cream pancakes and they were fluffy and the perfect sweet bite at the end of the meal. I will mention that they also have some awesome looking smoothies but I wanted to save all my room for the food so I didn't end up ordering one. But I was sure tempted! If you're looking for brunch in Montreal, look no further. You will not be disappointed in L'avenue.

We were staying in the area while visiting Montréal. Montréal's famous Gibeau Orange Julep…read moreRestaurant is easily spotted by the giant orange dome on the restaurant. It's been around since 1932 and looks like to be a popular destination for locals and tourists. Our group just wanted something quick to eat since we spent the day in Old Montréal and was heading back to the hotel. The parking is a circle surrounding the structure. The speed of the line went pretty quick from ordering to getting the meal considering they had a steady line while we were there. There is option to dine there with some bench and table seating to the left of the ordering station. We just grab and took our stuff back to the hotel since it was late and a little windy the day we went there. We shared a poutine and got small orange julep drinks to share. The poutine was good, but not my favorite in this city. What I liked about it was the gravy. Rich and a generous amount on the fries. I didn't wish that the fries could have been more crisp. I think they got soggier by the gravy. The cheese curds were a bit melty- also there was no squeak when I took a bite. True cheese curds make a squeak when you chew them. Just not sure we didn't get a squeaking batch. The orange julep I would definitely come back for again. It was super refreshing and a little frothy on the finish. So good I wished I got a bigger size. It was a big hit with my daughter too. They sell them in different sizes and even sell a big sharing jug. We didn't try other offerings of food they had (hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches, spaghetti, wings, nuggets, desserts and breakfast), but may be on the next visit. It's worth checking out. Maybe next time we will try to dine in.

Food was good overall. We went for a grilled cheese, vegetarian burger (both combos) and a veggie pogo. Liked all three. Fries were good. O-Juice was nice but felt a bit sugary than sour. Portions were good and it didn't feel heavy. All their meals are given in takeout brown bags - no trays, plates etc. They don't have any indoor seating options but there are standing counters. There are a couple of benches outside if the weather permits. Many folks just got the food to their cars and ate them there. Staff was nice. Given it was our first time, we had a few questions which they answered well. Plenty of parking outside. Definitely recommended.

The first question that they asked us was if we celebrating something, and we told them but that created an expectation and we never got any little cookie or a little piece of something at the end for that. The hostess didn't have a clue as to wear to sit us. On the other hand, they told us we had to arrive in 15 minutes or we would lose our brunch reservation. It seems like at least a quarter of the restaurant was empty. Why make us rush? I've had much better eggs Benedict in the past. My husband had to prepare his own bagel and it took him quite a long time. Why not to prepare the bagel with all the ingredients inside? He didn't get a discount for assembling it ;-) We wanted to get coffee and it took a long time for the waitress to come back. Also, when I got my Matcha latte, it was not hot. I was disappointed they didn't have soya milk. We asked for a side dish of fruit that cost $11 and the amount and variety were so disappointing and ridiculous. Don't even think of ordering that. It's just a waste. The decor was nice and overall we liked the experience of being there, but it was overly priced and we will never return again.

The front area is a bakery with beautiful dessert displays. I wish I had a room for dessert. We came for the Quiche Lorraine, and the portion was huge -- probably enough for 3 people, I would say. It had a lot of meat, with some kind of special ham/bacon, and the flavor was delicious. If you like meat, this is the dish for you. I definitely recommend it! Personally, I would have liked a little more egg custard in the quiche. The Eggs Benedict was delicious as well. The drinks were great and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend!.

Definitely recommended!

We ordered the poulet frit and the bacon Benedicts. The eggs were almost hard boiled not poached and runny as they're supposed be and that pretty much ruins the plate.
