L’Avenue

Pain Perdu

Thick-cut brioche soaked overnight and finished to a custardy center, served with fruit and crème — the dish this kitchen is built around

Eggs Benedict

A well-executed classic with a properly runny yolk and hollandaise that doesn't break — reliably one of the better versions in this part of the city

Croque Madame

Open-faced toasted sandwich with béchamel and a fried egg on top — the French bistro anchor that earns its place on a brunch menu like this

Crêpes

Thin, properly lacy crêpes served in both sweet and savoury configurations — the sweet versions with seasonal fruit or Nutella draw consistent praise

Brunch Cocktails

The Aperol-based and Champagne-forward cocktail list is well-executed and priced for the occasion — the mimosa and its variations do what they need to do
