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.
I absolutely love this place! The ice cream is always fresh, delicious, & of the highest quality. The staff is incredible-always welcoming with warm smiles & positive energy. They are quick & efficient, never keeping you waiting. What I truly admire is their openness; they genuinely listen to your suggestions & care about their customers' opinions. This place is a gem!
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
We took an avocado icecream coconut & it was delicious. This new place is clean, nice atmosphere, super popular & the service is quick ! We previously didn't like the old place whipped cream but this one is rly good! Recommended if you are a fruit amateur or just dessert tons of choices :) Note: they only take cash or debit.
Very clean, people amazing, the desserts are beyond amazing.. finally some quality in this city. Ive known them for 20 years... the quality stayed about the same ...the place is now more beautiful & better situated. However the prices are too high even in inflation... 16.50$ a medium ice cream... you are paying for then rent a lot here. But hey, one a year, amazing! I had the mansalwa last time & it was great I am not saying what you are offering is indecent by no means, I in my personal opinion think it is a bit too high. Yes it is the man salwa ice cream to be more precise, please factor in the TAX & the minimum 10% tip, that is what matters to the customer. Thanks for the reply & yes it is worth it, but I am being realistic & fully transparent, it is high to me, maybe not to you. I have the receipt that I can post here, the total was 15.00$ + 1.50$ tip, yesterday Jun 22nd at 16:34:31. So yes it is 16.50$ for a customer to enjoy a what to me seems a medium ice cream, but to be precise it includes ashta, a little pistachio & cardommon syrup. The taste is amazing yes & I know life is expensive & ingredients too. So I do recommend you, but the price is on the higher range. & yes, god willing, I will be back sooner.

We went my friend & I asking about if the size small included 2 scoops of ice cream the lady said yes & proceeded to let her employee give us 2 scoops Then while paying the lady not only complained to her employee in front of us & she complained to us as if we went behind the counter & put the ice cream when she was asked. I understand he made a mistake & no one got a complain but it's very rude to complain TO THE CUSTOMERS . We had already paid & she went ahead to complain very awful experience I wouldn't recommend unless you want to be lectured. Also the employee was new so he made a mistake but it should not be dealt with in front of the clients it's very unprofessional Also here is the ice cream in question which caused all of this unnecessary drama.
Used to love coming here they still have very good cocktails & ice cream, but service is really bad & the worker talks about you just because i spoke up about the mistake they made for my order that was really bad service..
Didn't have a very positive experience at this specific location. I came here after I had a 10/10 experience at Antabli in Downtown Montreal, since they were closed down I decided to come here instead. I got 4 scoops of ice cream for which 3 out of 4 scoops didn't taste that well. The pisachio & Arabic icream were decent however the sorbet were outright not very good. The ice cream seemed old & not very fresh. My friend ordered a smoothy & he had the same experience, not the best place for quality of ice cream. Also, the interior decor was very ugly & just didn't have a positive vibe. The customer service was also not the best as the person serving us was a bit rude. Lastly the menu is so disorganized & hard to read, as it's all over the wall. There is such a big difference between the two franchises, I strongly recommend creating a standardized brand & keeping everything the same. Discounted with my experience here.
