L’Avenue

L'Avenue brings Montreal's brunch energy to Toronto's The Well with a menu built for indulgence and a space that refuses to sit still. This 100-seat restaurant wraps you in street-meets-pop-art chaos, where graffiti covers the walls, disco balls catch the light, and motorcycles and mannequins create visual surprises at every turn. The atmosphere is animated and loud, perfect for social diners who want their meal to feel like an event.

The menu is massive, anchored by brunch favorites that come in generous portions. Fishbowl-sized smoothies, carrot cake pancakes, and the Pink Salmon Benny deliver the kind of calorie-laden comfort food that keeps you full until sunset. Can't choose between sweet and savory? The Indecisive menu category lets you mix both, pairing your eggs with a side of French toast or pancakes. One recent guest praised the Dubai chocolate French toast for its fluffy bread and perfectly balanced sweetness.

What sets the Toronto location apart is its dinner service, a menu that disappeared from the Montreal locations when brunch took over. Here, you'll find everything from beet carpaccio to chicken schnitzel Caesar bowls. The bagels stay true to their roots, sourced locally from a former St. Viateur baker. Just know that reservations help, as weekend waits can stretch to 15 minutes or more when the brunch crowd arrives.
