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.
Antabli food is usually ok, but my recent visit was disappointing due to poor service. The lady who served me looked impatient & annoyed the whole time I was there which was weird because I was simply trying to understand the menu & also, I was the only one in line. She also failed to inform me that they only accept debit. It left me not wanting to come back. Please train your employees basic customer service.
Glad they're moving & excited to see what the new place will look like because I must admit this place wasn't the cleanest (benches were black) this place hasn't changed since I came here 10+ years ago. Food was fine though & really refreshing. Sometimes better than others
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.
Lots of fruit, I loved the avocado smoothie - was just the right amount of sweet. Coming from Ottawa I preferred antabli to anyplace in Ottawa with fruit drinks. Super yummy! Only downside was not accepting any credit cards & it was hard to find the garbage. Other than that it was a great little lounge spot in the late evening!
I have been to this location multiple times over the years! The quality has been deteriorating & the prices seem to be skyrocketing. Not the same experience compared to the past.
