Avenue Cafe Bistro -  Toronto,

I haven't been to the University location in a few years, and I was pleasantly surprised by the changes. They have updated their display with new plates and reorganized the window. They now offer new sandwiches, and I was recommended to try the Montreal Smoked Brisket - it was a fantastic choice! The service was excellent, especially for a Monday, and the staff were friendly and jovial. I will definitely be returning. The tall guy who took my order, the front counter staff, and the girl who delivered my food were all pleasant. The food was grilled and warmed perfectly. Great job to the whole team!

The smoked salmon sandwich was a simple yet delicious dish, with thick slices of smoked salmon, cream cheese, and spinach between two pieces of French baguette. The salmon was fresh and flavorful, the cream cheese was soft and creamy. Overall, it was a really great sandwich that exceeded expectations.

Nice lunch spot with excellent coffee. I had heard great things about their coffee, so I decided to give it a try. They serve Illy coffee. The atmosphere is airy and modern. The food selection is impressive. I opted for the roast beef sandwich, which was cooked to perfection (rare as requested) and very lean, ideal for sandwiches. It was served with cheese and caramelized onions, which really elevated the flavor. The baguette was of high quality, which is essential for a good sandwich. I definitely plan to return to sample more of their delicious offerings.
