  • We needed a breakfast that could stand up to our dinner the night before at Au Pied de Cochon, so we headed to Restaurant L'Avenue and weren't disappointed. Like Schwartz's, L'Avenue opening for business attracts a lineup of people waiting to get into the restaurant, so be sure to dress for whatever weather Montreal is experiencing - and be prepared for the possibility of sitting next to a door that's opening and closing constantly as the hostess checks on the line and finds seats. (If it's cool out, wear a sweater.) We were greeted in French but every server spoke English (we're learning, but we're not there yet). As we'd seen recommendations online for the eggs benedict that's what we went with, but all of the breakfasts that came out looked great - huge portions, though! Don't treat yourself to a pastry before you go for brunch (and perhaps going after stuffing yourself at PDC the night before isn't the BEST idea...) We started off with two excellent lattes (in glasses, not bowls, which I sort of regretted... I could definitely have finished a bigger one on that chilly morning). After watching a few people receive gigantic, elaborately garnished smoothies I have to say it would be hard to turn that down on a hot summer day. Next, our fruit skewers, which seem to come with every breakfast, arrived. And they weren't your typical boring breakfast fruits - sure, there was honeydew, but also pineapple, papaya, grapefruit, strawberry and an exceptionally delicious date. Be aware that the fruit is cleaned minimally - peels and pits were on everything, so don't chomp down with reckless abandon. I had the chorizo eggs benny, and wow, was it ever good. He had the smoked salmon and it was also delightful (and much lighter), but the combination of chorizo, peppers, spicy potatoes, creamy egg yolks and Hollandaise was really something. (In other words, I wouldn't have switched. Ha!) The potatoes were great, which is a litmus test for me at brunch - there's no excuse for boring potatoes - and although I'm typically disappointed with Hollandaise sauce that isn't home made (it's never lemonny enough or they underseason it) this was pretty good. Also, I don't care if you have to go or not: be sure to visit the toilettes. If we're looking for breakfast in Montreal again we'd definitely come back!
