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.
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.
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
It's always great to go to Antabli for a delicious coconut ice cream, fresh fruit, or even a crepe! The gentleman at the counter was very nice, & the music was actually really good too! I highly recommend it if you want to have a good time with family, a new date, or friends

Great if you are looking for an ice cream, a waffle or crepes or another dessert. Unfortunately there are not so many locations around & it might be crowded sometimes.
One of the staff member mehak she recommended me this place. Now onwards this is my favourite place i tried different varieties such as waffles, crepe & shakes. It was super tasty. I highly recommend to everyone if you're living in Montreal just give a try to this place. Especially thanks to Mehak that you suggested me.

This place is one of the favorite places for a dessert for my ex. We took Aloha waffle & Tortuga crepe. They were ok the service was fine too but a bit pricey.
Nice Lebanese cocktails & ice cream as well as crepes, just as it was before. Service is good & efficient even though it was packed when I went. Only negative is that it is a bit too pricey
The new location is so...industrial. White modern design, kind of killing the cozy fruity dessert vibe that they could have had. What's worse was the music so loud that I couldn't even hear myself. You would think that you're in a disco bar, totally inappropriate. I wanted a chill late night dessert but entered a crowded music blasted modern dance room. The crepe was dry & really disappointed me for the price but the avocado cocktail was good. Their ashta is probably the best thing on the menu & I would recommend always asking for less sugar/honey. If you want a cozier spot with a much better crepe, go to cocktail kawai lmao
The way the staff were cutting fruits with their hands was not to appealing.... At least they should cut the fruits on a cutting board not by holding with their fingers. The crepe was very dry.
The place is nicer than the old location. Much cleaner & more tables. The crepe was too dry. Was surprised to see the workers cutting fruits by holding the fruit & not using a cutting board or using gloves.
