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.
Lorsque j'ai décidé de visiter le nouveau bar à cocktail Antabli au marché central, j'étais pleine d'enthousiasme & d'attentes. Malheureusement, mon expérience a été loin d'être à la hauteur de mes espérances. Dès mon arrivée, j'ai pu constater que le service laissait à désirer. La serveuse qui a pris ma commande s'est trompée & a refusé de rectifier son erreur lorsque je lui ai gentiment demandé d'ajouter ce qui manquait.Jai donc du m'obstiner ! En observant les magnifiques photos de cocktails exotiques sur le mur, j'ai réalisé à quel point mon propre cocktail était fade!(photo à l'appui )Il n'y avait ni amour, ni pistache saupoudrée, déception total !!!! 40$ au poubelle Moi qui aimais tant leurs cocktail je ne peux m'empêcher de ressentir une profonde déception.

Very good place for desserts but I find the prices to be excessively high. Beware place is cash only ! ATM available inside the store. Edit: They now accept cards at the new location.
Ils viennent de déménager, c est mieux qu avant . Il y a toujours une terrasse, & pour manger à l intérieur. Plus besoin de payer comptant seulement maintenant ils acceptent carte de débit, crédit! C est très très délicieux
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.
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.

We recently felt like indulging in some fruits & fruit cocktails & decided to try out the new Antabli location. The experience turned out to be delightful.

The staff were courteous & attentive, ensuring we had a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. The Menu Antabli offers a vast menu with a wide variety of fruit-based dishes & cocktails. We were particularly impressed with the options available, making it hard to choose just one! What We Ordered Nuit du Liban: This was a beautiful & delicious fruit platter. The fruits were exceptionally fresh, & the presentation was impressive. Exotique: My cousin opted for this fruit cocktail, which was a burst of tropical flavors. It was refreshing & perfectly balanced. Other Items: We also sampled a few other offerings from the extensive menu, & each dish was as visually appealing as it was tasty. Quality & Freshness The quality of the fruits at Antabli is outstanding. Each bite was a testament to their commitment to freshness & flavor. The dishes were not only delicious but also visually stunning, making the experience even more enjoyable. Pricing While we felt that the prices were a bit on the higher side, it seems to be the norm for such high-quality fruit offerings. Considering the freshness & the delightful presentation, it felt justified. Overall Experience Overall, our visit to Antabli was a very good experience. The fresh fruits, delicious cocktails, & excellent service made it a memorable outing. Despite the slightly high prices, the quality & ambiance more than made up for it. We highly recommend giving Antabli a try if you're in the mood for some top-notch fruit-based dishes & cocktails.
