Antabli gets mixed but largely positive feedback for a cozy, lively vibe and a big menu featuring crepes, ice cream, juices, fruit cocktails, waffles, and Lebanese inspired desserts like ashta. Guests praise generous portions and the variety of desserts and drinks, with many saying the quality is excellent and great value, though some note prices can be high and the coffee or some drinks may be bland or not up to par. The newly moved location is cited by many as improving the space with a larger dining area and better atmosphere, while others mention slow or disorganized service from time to time. Cleanliness is described as generally good but not always consistent, and a few reviews mention uneven attention to cleanliness or to general ambiance. The staff is frequently described as friendly, attentive, and helpful with families and groups, though a minority report rude or slow service or language barriers. The desserts are repeatedly highlighted as standout, including ice cream, crepes, and a range of fruit based options, with ashta and fresh fruit noted as especially appealing. Several reviews recommend visiting for a fun family outing, a date, or a casual get together, and many express a desire to return, often noting that the place is a go to dessert spot in Montreal. Overall the impression is that Antabli delivers exciting Lebanese inspired sweets and solid drinks in a welcoming setting, with room for improvement in consistency of service and beverage execution.
Customer service was nice & helpful, establishment was clean even though the seating was a bit tight.
After much deliberation,I took the Exotic smoothie for 18$. For the price, I was expecting something exceptional in terms of taste. I personally didnt enjoy the achta. It had a similar taste & texture to cottage cheese which I found weird with a sweet fruity drink. However other people did seem to enjoy their pancake & ice cream.
I bought their fancy packed ice cream from a supermarket thinking that taste would be good. Then I realized that it is not even an ice cream, it is'frozen dairy dessert' & it tastes really bad. Please dont play with human health.

I haven't been here since I was a kid but I came by today & it was exactly as I remembered. The taste of our ice cream down to the colourful signature Antabli table. Even after all these years, the prices are still very reasonable for the portion & the quality you get despite inflation. I highly recommend the Playa Coco!
Beautiful Island in the marche central!
many of our friends come & enjoy the cocktails from far away.
clean place, kind staff & excellent juices, crepes & ice cream.
Unfortunately, the older waitress at Antepli Restaurant did not have a polite attitude with customers, & her behavior did not reflect good customer service.I will never come back
I wish I could give them 100 stars as 5 for these tastes & staff behavior is nothing.
I suggest everyone to try once to understand what exactly i am talking about.
Pour commencer ça n'a rien avoir avec l'ancien. Le jus de mangue goûte l'eau sûrement coupé avec de l'eau & sans vrai fruit! La coupe de glace pina colada décevant. Mon mari a prit une crêpe jamaïcaine le chocolat n'est pas du Nutella ne goûtait pas très chocolaté aucune saveur. Les fruits ne sont pas mûres son antabli Cocktail les fruit était dur & pas prêt du tout. Bref, 30m aller & 30m retour décevant. 56$ plus taxes ça n'a pas valu le déplacement.
Nothing special. Crowded. If you pay & say takeout then change your mind & sit inside, they'll kick you out & tell you to sit outside. Ordered the Nutella strawberry banana crepe with a tea. The crepe itself was thin & hard , the amount of Nutella was laughable. The thinnest amount that you can imagine was spread on it & only the top half of the crepe had fruits, the middle was empty. Looks like they're trying to be stingy on the fillings while charging 15$ for a crepe. Neither food nor service warrants another visit.
Just scrolled thru to see other reviews & these passive agressive responses to customer dissatisfaction is wild! I look forward to receiving an equally unpleasant & uncouth response. Would honestly recommend going someplace else where your food isn't served with a side of disrespect.
Edit to add:
Whilst your reply certainly explains why you kick out customers, it does not explain why you do it with such rudeness or why you fail to provide this explanation at the time of ejection.
Furthermore,
your reply does not address additionnel concerns customers have had with your establishment's refusal to provide an extra takeout container for customers on their way home EVEN if they have expressed their desire to purchase this container.
Second edit:
I take my reviews seriously. You cannot flat out lie in my face & tell me you provide an extra takeout container upon request when you have refused me in person
Je ne recommande pas.
Pendant des années je commandais souvent le grand plateau familial Nuits du Liban. C'était excellent.
Par contre, les derniers mois, à chaque fois il y avait de moins en moins de ashta & de noix, jusqu'au plateau commandé hier: presque pas de ashta, on voit le fond du plateau en plastique à travers. Très décevant, ce n'est qu'un plateau de fruits à présent. Je ne commanderais plus, pour le prix que ça coûte.
this is an update from an old one star review to a 5 star review. new location & new management saved this place. thank god the previous people at the old location are gone.
