When I created the food stops for our Montreal trip, L'Avenue was #1 on my list. My boyfriend was skeptical - "how good could it possible be that it warrants a line up on such a cold day?" But I was confident. He should know by now that I am a thorough researcher, and damn do I read too many reviews & look at too many pics before I make a decision on whether to check out a restaurant or not. And WOW, @restolavenue did not disappoint! Amazing! And my bf loved it! By the way, we got there at just the right time - no line up! There was a line when we left though.
I ordered the delicious and super massive (each slice the size of my face) French toast. It was so rich and delicious.
In sum:
Amazing service, great value, great portions & so delicious! You gotta check them out if you find yourself in Montreal.
P.S. I agree with the other reviewers... check out the washroom - even if you don't have to go.
