Antabli comes across in these reviews as a place that has turned a corner with a new location and management, earning praise for amazing food and service, generous portions, and a wide array of desserts, crepes, waffles, ice cream, fruit cocktails, and freshly squeezed sugarcane juice that many say is excellent value. The atmosphere is described as cozy and welcoming, with a family friendly vibe and appealing outdoor seating, and the staff are often noted as friendly and efficient, though a few experiences mention disorganized service, slow pacing, and minor language barriers at the new location. Several comments highlight standout items like coconut ice cream, ashta, and a variety of fruit desserts, along with strong drinks and a lively, energetic ambiance ideal for gatherings or casual outings. Some feedback notes that the crepes and desserts are very good but the coffee can be flat, some fruit quality and freshness concerns, and one or two incidents where guests felt miscommunication over ordering and charges. Overall Antabli is repeatedly recommended as a top dessert and Lebanese influenced spot in Montreal, with most reviews emphasizing the quality of desserts, freshness of fruit, and a welcoming environment that makes it a go to for repeated visits.
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.
ohh & the the plates are to die for btw
