| - Oh good gracious THIS is the breakfast emporium! The breakfast menu is simply dizzying. There are so many variations of egg based dishes (regular or Omega 3 ), Eggs Benedict, Omelettes, Montreal Bagels, American Style Fluffy Pancakes, and Exotic Juices to choose from that my eyes were bulging out while attempting to make my mind on what to order. Thank goodness, on Saturdays, breakfast is served from 8am till 4pm.
If you come during the week, you can also enjoy salads, sandwiches, poutines, hamburgers, milkshakes, martinis, steak, stews, curry, other pub fare!
For over 20 years, l'Avenue is best known for their Eggs Benedict of which favorites are the Chorizo, Steak and Eggs or the 'Tout l'Monde à Poële' variations. I went for the third option. Wow, the two gigantic portions were just sitting in front of me waiting to be devoured. The eggs were perfectly poached, oozing with golden yolk as you dug your way in, beautifully dressed with sautéed Champignons de Paris, Pleurotes, Portobello mushrooms and lusciously coated with creamy hollandaise sauce.
The eclectic atmosphere and excellent service from a dynamic team of smiling waiters, especially Jezabel, who was so patient with me most definitely adds stars to the experience. Kudos to owner Johnny Di Tomasso, a meticulous planner and team builder!
Will I return to try the Chorizo at L'Avenue? I sure will and so should you. Just one note... this is not a 'cheapy eats' destination so it'll be a bit heavy on your wallet but you do get what you pay for.
