| - You remember that one kid from high school, right? The one that you wanted to hate but were secretly envious of? You know, the senior that could throw a football like nobody's business and was nice to freshman and once said hi to you in the hallway. If you asked people to describe him all they would just shake their heads and quietly mutter, "That guy is so fucking cool." Restaurant L'avenue is that kid, if that kid were a restaurant and served breakfast all day.
The decor of the place, the waiters, even the fucking bathrooms were so effortlessly cool that I wanted to hate the restaurant, but gave it my money instead. We got spinach/chevre eggs benedict and a kiwi/strawberry pain dore. This place seemed to be very french canadian in that everyone in it was speaking french, but the portions were very American in that they were stupidly large. There must have been half a loaf of bread in the pain dore, and the eggs benedict came with potatoes and a fruit skewer. Everything was perfectly cooked, the waiters were attentive, and we weren't rushed to leave, even as the place filled up to capacity.
If you get here after 9 AM, you're going to be waiting in line. Get up early, indulge in a very large, very decadent breakfast, and then walk out afterwards muttering, "That place is so fucking cool."
