So, my husband and I were recently in Montreal for a weekend and saw L'Avenue in guidebooks as a great place for brunch. Fodors did not lie. Brunch at L'Avenue was great! So, they only had French menus and neither me nor hubby can read French very well so we muddled through.
I though I was ordering crepes with mango, strawberries and kiwi. I didn't know that crepes American are pancakes. I was pleasantly surprised. A large order of pancakes arrived with hot fruit on top and warm syrup. They were amazing and well worth it. My husband got Eggs Benedict and really enjoyed them as well. His meal came with a kebob of fruit, which was a nice touch.
The atmosphere was cramped and chaotic but it was fun as well. The food took a little while to arrive so don't go if you are in a hurry. We went around 9:30 am on a Saturday and it wasn't that crowded but there was a huge line by the time we let about a hour later.
