Treat yourself to a great day of shopping, and after visiting top designer stores (Fendi, Chanel, Dior, to name a few), stop in for a great lunch or dinner. I have heard from my friends, characterizing restaurant service in Paris as snooty, but NOT at this place. "Kind and professional, with gorgeous and stylishly dressed waitresses" is the description of... More

Quintessential Paris cafe, great neighborhood, street tables with good people watching opportuinties and a just beautiful in door dining room. Service was very good for Paris, anf the food was excellent. Memeorable was the Tuna tartare appetizer, Veal chop entree and risotto with large shrimp. Fairly priced and decent wine list, all-in-all a very good experience if not a tad... More

We were hungry and we were walking by L'Avenue, so it seemed like a good idea to stop in. So pleasantly surprised by an excellent spicy tuna tartare and avocado. It's a classic French upscale bistro where on a sunny day, you can eat at a small bistro table on the fancy sidewalk. The decor had a 20s opulent feel... More

We dined there a few times, and have never been disappointed. Its "modern chic" Paris style. Bustling and engaging with a cool crowd (plus a large percentage of Americans in Paris), the food was clean and light and delicious - which is really what I was needing after some of the more rich dining experiences to be had in old-school...

The highlight of my birthday has to be a surprise trip to L'Avenue, which did not disappoint! The atmosphere was smokey, dark and mysterious. The waitresses were elegant and all dressed very casually in their own clothes. The food was outstanding we had the steak and chicken dishes with salad and the ginger rice which was incredible. Can't wait to... More

My wife and I took in a dinner there on a recent trip to Paris. We were not disappointed. As the previous posters alluded to, the wait staff seems to be aspiring models, tall, thin, and pretty darn hot. The restaurant location is amazing, corner of Avenue Montaigne with views of the Eiffel Tower. Inside, the two floors are cozy... More

I can agree that impression of a certain restaurant depends heavily upon your company, weather or just your state of mind. I have visited L'Avenue last week for lunch with my best friends. Weather was sunny and warm, atmosphere was brilliant and service was very good as opposed to other reviews (the lady who served us has nick name Gisele... More

Enjoyed a pleasant dinner with my husband during a recent visit to Paris. The menu was broad enough to satisfy a range of tastes, and the wine list is also good. Probably the most notable thing about the restaurant is the waitresses ... all drop dead gorgeous and appeared to drape themselves all over my husband during the meal. He... More
