Since its establishment in 1994, L’Avenue has been a vibrant culinary destination for brunch and breakfast lovers. Now, with its highly anticipated Toronto location at The Well, this Montreal import has brought its eccentric charm and dynamic energy to the city, redefining the restaurant experience.
Our team at GTA General Contractors collaborated to bring the lively spirit of L’Avenue to life at it’s first Toronto location through a comprehensive restaurant design-build approach. Every detail, from the interior finishes to the bold décor, was thoughtfully executed to capture the brand’s unique personality and ensure an unforgettable experience for every guest
L’Avenue Toronto is a visual spectacle, blending street art and pop culture to create a playful and energetic ambiance. The interior design emphasizes vibrant graffiti-style murals, bringing color and movement to every corner of the space. These bold artistic expressions serve as the perfect backdrop to the lively brunch scene.
Interior Design and Décor
- Graffiti Walls: The walls are blanketed with custom graffiti art that celebrates urban street culture while maintaining a polished, high-end aesthetic.
- Pop-Art Décor: Mannequins, motorcycles, and disco balls create an eclectic, interactive environment that feels fun and engaging for diners.
- Color Palette: A mix of vibrant reds, blues, and greens combines with neutral elements to balance the energy of the space, while pops of color from the artwork and furnishings keep the interior lively.
Key Design Highlights

- L’Avenue Toronto features a mix of booths and freestanding tables to accommodate groups of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to lively brunch parties. Each seating area is designed with comfort and functionality in mind, using plush upholstered chairs and high-backed booths for privacy.
