Just when you thought you've seen all the takes on eggs benedict you can find ... L'avenue proves you wrong! Ex-montrealer friends were dreaming about this place, so we went while they were visiting.
I had the Mr Seguin eggs benedict .. it was an awesome combination of goat cheese, spinach and sauteed mushrooms. The toppings on the english muffin were pretty generous and I wish I could have finished it all. The presentation was nice too - it came with a little pot of home-fries (good, not at all greasy) and a nice skewer of melon and other fruit.
I also stole a bite of chicken eggs benedict - it was delicious! A good choice for someone who likes a little bit of spice and heat. The steak eggs benedict was also really good.. with a spicy twist on the classic Hollandaise.
The service was good and the staff was friendly. The food arrived quickly, though the first cup of coffee took a while to arrive.
Expect about $20/person.
Highly recommend!
PS. take a trip to the washrooms - they're crazy!
