Restaurant L'Avenue Laval — Restaurant in Laval (administrative region)

Very fun, trendy brunch spot. From the outside, you are greeted with a view of the colored lights scattered across the ceiling. Through the doors, greeted by a very dapper young man in a white button up with black suspenders- a very fun touch.

The hand-painted graffiti style paint job is eye catching and joyful, it makes my ADHD brain happy at least, no accounting for more traditional tastes. One's eyes cannot help but be drawn to the Suzuki motorcycle suspended from a ceiling painted to resemble a cloudy sky.... we opted to sit anywhere that wasn't under the motorcycle. Server was friendly and attentive, acted with a level of formality befitting the uniform. Table maintenance could use a little work- empty creamers and sugar packets left behind a lot.

As always with brunch I ordered a black coffee to start, bitter or perhaps a little burnt, I had to (gasp, shock, and horror) add a little sugar and cream.

The food? Unbelievable. I ordered the salmon avocado toast which came out in a timely manner, beautifully presented. The avocado was smashed evenly, the salmon was of an excellent quality and in a good proportion to the avocado so as to be present but not overpowering, the toast did not lose its integrity or become mushy under the weight of the ingredients. The meal is served with a salad, lightly dressed. This salad was lovely! The dressing was not too tart, but not overwhelmingly sweet either. The greens were very fresh and not wilting.

I've been on both sides of the server relationship enough to know that these boys know their stuff, and the food is so good it makes the little detail fade into the background of an otherwise wonderful meal....

My wife and I had the traditional breakfast I had two eggs easy over with sausage and a bagel with tea,my wife had two eggs easy over with bacon and the multigrain bread with coffee ,my breakfast arrived the eggs we're easy over but just warm my sausage was more on the cold side and the potatoes also on the cool side and my bagle was cold, my wife's plate was the same only her eggs we're we'll done not easy over,we returned her plate to get the aggs replaced for easy over when her plate returned the eggs we're really runny thinking they would at least warm up the rest of the plate, (not) , the cook's should really pay attention to each and every order no matter how busy it is customers should get what they order and how it should be served hot, the owners should really fix this problem and the only thing that would fix this if they would hire more serving staff, and the cook's a little more professionalism in there service and preparation of the plates, and a person making sure that all the plates are the way there supposed to be then given to the waiters to serve the customer, that is the only way .... By the way i could have had a much more better breakfast at home, but you want to go out sometime it was very...

Where do we start?? The staff were exceptional - so kind and responsive!! I had the pistachio latte and it was amazing!! Not too sweet and loads of crushed pistachios. Absolutely wonderful. My daughter had the Rejuvenate smoothie - wow what a beautiful presentation and burst of fresh fruit.

My hubby got Huevos Rancheros - packed with fresh ingredients, a huge serving and extra hot sauce! My daughter got the strawberry nutella French Toast and the portion size was unreal!!! She could only eat one piece but was in Nutella heaven. I got the Pink Salmon Eggs Benny - 2 poached organic eggs, smoked salmon, citrus, ginger and chives cream cheese, avocadoes, marinated onions, topped with a beet juice infused hollanddaise sauce, on a bagel. Quite possibly the best EB I’ve ever had! Absolutely incredible!!! The homemade breakfast potatoes are soooo savoury!! A decadent treat for all of us. We literally stumbled upon this place - from the zany decor to the fun vibe, customer service and amazing food - we highly recommend and will be coming back!!

Thank you for your attention to detail! These Yellowknifers will be...
