| - Absurdly good. Absurdly good. The sort of meal and food that makes you wish you had 3-4 stomachs, so that you could just eat everything on the menu.
On a recent trip here with my family we ate an epic multi course breakfast-brunch. I don't use the word epic lightly. There is the starter course, a fresh fruit spread for each person, with a bevy of different fruit selections. So fresh and so good, yet there is snow pouring down outside the window, surreal yes, but also delicious.
For our mains my mother and I opted for savory, I had a duck confit benedict. It was as amazing as it sounds. In fact, I would say it's the best benedict I've ever eaten. It was a sublime version of the dish. My mom had a simple breakfast with eggs, bacon, and a salad. But, all were excellent, and cooked/prepared perfectly. My brother's order was epic. He ordered both the carrot cake pancakes and the french toast. Both dishes again, were amazing. I usually don't go in for sweet breakfast, but these two dishes were perfect, not too sweet with just the right amount of syrup and whipped cream atop them.
Beyond the food there are the drinks- fresh juices and cocktails abound. Want an Irish coffee? They'll make you one better with a dose of maple in it. Want some beer? How about a 2 for 1 deal, yeah that's right I had two IPA's here for about $7. Can't get that sort of deal anywhere stateside, and at brunch no less.
And finally the service. This place was slammed the day we came, with a line down the block. But, you'd never know from how cool and collected the waitstaff are. Our server was near telepathic in regards to our table, not to mention that she was also incredibly beautiful. But it wasn't just her, everyone working here treated you as a special guest. It was just a great atmosphere to dine in, especially compared to brunch hotspots in places like NYC and PDX.
If you want amazing food, great service, all for a good price you must stop by here at L'Avenue. Good things will await you for sure!!!!
