Dear Yelp: I think you need to look into extending the 5-star rating because for places like L'Avenue, 5 stars is a major understatement.
We were instructed to arrive before 10 a.m but I really doubt that made much of a difference. However, I'm not here to complain, but rather to rave and to let eveyone know that a 40 min. wait for L'Avenue is well worth it!
The place is exquisitely decorated with spray-painted walls and modern-like lamps hung horizontally to the floor. The kitchen is at the very front of a restaurant, which I believe was done on purpose to have all the people waiting in line salivating. Of course I had the eggs benedict to see that the fuss was all about and truth be told I still have really pleasent dreams about those home fries and fresh-cut mushrooms.
Conclusion - when in Montreal, L'Avenue is a must!
