I think people have brainwashed themselves into thinking this is a good brunch spot.. Week after week I see lineups at this place of these influencers all dressed up waiting to get in. Luckily, I was able to get a table right away & it proceeded to take 2 hours from start to finish to get our drinks & food. Is it because the place is so sought after or is it because the service is so slow? The pistachio latte is beautiful so if you want to take a pretty picture for Instagram, it's great.. but take away the crusted glass rim & it's a pretty mediocre coffee. The eggs Benedict was nothing to write home about & at 24$ with no side you can get better elsewhere. We also tried their pain perdu which was really good at first but it gets really sweet, real fast. Beautiful decor & ambience but at over 100$ for 2 ppl for brunch, it's a little too pretentious for my palette.

Excellent brunch en terrasse. Les oeufs bénédictine aux asperges & jambon sont un vrai délice 😋 & les conseils & service de Thibault étaient aux petits oignons 😄

I loved the egg mushroom & truffle Benedict. The burrata wasn't that great. It was too watery not great.

J'ai un peu de mal à comprendre la hype autour de ce brunch. Ayant moi même été appâté par les nombreux posts Instagram des foodies de passage à Montréal je me suis rendue au brunch d'Antipode. Nous y sommes allés un dimanche matin, 15 minutes avant l'ouverture, il y avait déjà de l'attente (pas un soucis, nous étions prévenu). Nous sommes rentrés dès que le restaurant à ouvert & la commande a été prise rapidement, rien à redire la dessus. Mon amie & moi avons commandé les oeufs bénédictines au saumon, nous n'avons pas été conquis par le plat. Malheureusement à trop vouloir melangé les saveurs, on peut sy perdre. La sauce (qui n'était pas une sauce hollandaise classique) était, à mon goût, de trop. Le saumon, le guacamole ainsi que les oeufs étaient suffisant. Par contre, le croque truffe & les oeufs benedictines a la truffe étaient bons. Pour conclure, pas de quoi attendre 1h30 pour bruncher ici, il y a plein d'autres endroits que vous ne verrez pas sur Instagram bien meilleurs. Le service était bon & l'endroit est sympathique.

My friend & i shared the yuzu dish which had a really unique taste & chicken & waffles, which was especially good. For drinks, we had the tiramisu latte which was out of this world. The taste & presentation was 10/10 & I've recommended it to all of my friends ever since - all of whom visited & loved it as well. Would definitely love to go back to try the latte again & the mushroom truffle benedict

Latté aux pistaches correcte. 8,50$ c est un peu trop cher, nous soupçonnons de l essence d extrait d amandes. Les oeufs bénédictines étaient bien bons. La salubrité des employés laisse à désirer. Lorsqu on se mouche, on se lave les mains, on NE continue PAS à faire un café 🤢.

It's so worth the hype, even if you are just going for the pistacchio latte... The place opens at 10 am every day. We got there at 10:30 & had to wait 35 minutes for a table. But you know what? It wasn't that bad since the waitstaff came outside & brought us all some chocolatines while we waited. Finally our table was ready & our waitress sat us by the window. It was the best view for the spectators waiting in line, lol. After she graciously answered all our questions, she took our order. I opted for the Merguez Shakshuka because it seemed like the most popular dish. My friend ordered the truffle & mushroom eggs benedict. Both dishes were equally delicious, but the pistacchio latte was definitely the highlight of our meal. I would definitely come back, even if it's just for the pistacchio latte :-)
