| - First of all, WOW. If you go there for no other reason, go just to check out the decor and the badass washrooms. Hot! The main wall is covered in graffiti, and you can find a funky motorcycle suspended from the ceiling. I refer to their 'facilities' as the 'disco bathrooms' but you can check them out for yourself to see why :)
While we were waiting, the waiter brought over two fruit skewers, which we thought was a nice touch. The place was pretty packed so we welcomed the snack. I started with a smoothie (strawberries, raspberries, mint, basil) and it was delicious. Super fruity and served in a giant fish bowl glass, topped with (another) fruit skewer. So good! They have a pretty extensive menu and I finally settled on La Biquette - an omelet stuffed with veggies and goat cheese, and accompanied by potatoes and yes, another fruit skewer. My omelet was huge - way too big for one person and I felt that it was a bit of a waste to make such big omelets only to leave half of them on your plate (I know - who complains about a portion being too big, right? Me, that's who!). That said, I didn't realize that it was a 4-egg omelet until my friend pointed it out so next time, I'll ask for a 2-egg omelet and hopefully they will be able to accommodate. The omelet was well-stuffed with veggies and cheese but if you didn't grab some cheese with those veggies, it was a little lacking in flavor. The potatoes were very tasty.
L'Avenue is a hot spot, so expect a line-up. We got there around 11:30 on a Saturday, and didn't have to wait too long for a table.
