What’s
better than catching up with an old friend? Doing it over great food of course!
This morning my friend Karen and I hit up L’Avenue for a late breakfast. She warned
me that there might be a bit of a line, and boy was she right! THe short 15
minute wait was thanks to the fact that we agreed to sit at the small table
near the door. We were pretty humgry.
Located
at the heart of the Plateau, L’Avenue serves up AWESOME breakfasts, brunches
and lunches! The meals are kinda pricey, but the portions HUGE-so you really
are getting enough bang for your buck
The
ambiance is also really cool-it reminded me of a hip place you would find in
New York. It’s small and super narrow, but the entire wall is decked out in a
graffiti like design-and there’s a motor cycle suspended from the ceiling!!
(not gonna lie, this freaked me out-I tend to dislike large and heavy objects
floating over my head)
Most
importantly, the food was really good! I opted for a lighter breakfast of
yogurt and granola, which was served in a huge parfait glass. Karen tried the
goat cheese omelette, which was served with baked potatoes and a fruit kabob.
The portion was huge-two could have easily shared! I hear the eggs benedict is
supposed to also be popular and delicious and the smoothies super tasty and
thick.
Would I
go back? Sure. I’m not a huge fan of waiting in line and sitting in tight and
narrow spaces, but I would probably make an exception. The Plateau is
adorable and something new from the downtown, St-Catherine area that I tend to
stick around.
Final
Verdict: I recommend it. Anything that reminds me of New York City makes my
“good” list.
Enjoy the last day of break!
