Antipode is described as a highly popular, visually striking brunch spot in Montreal with generous portions, creative flavor combinations, and standout drinks like a pistachio latte that many call a must try. The place is frequently crowded, especially on weekends, which leads to long lines and waiting times, though service is often praised as attentive when seated. The menu covers a wide range from shakshouka and multiple takes on eggs benedict to croquettes d'aubergine, croque madame, chicken and waffles, and indulgent desserts like pain perdu and yuzu French toast, with plates praised for presentation and many noting bold, sometimes salty or sweet flavors and some items considered overpriced for the portion. Beverages are repeatedly highlighted as a highlight, with pistachio and tiramisu lattes noted for aesthetics and flavor, and the restaurant is appreciated by halal diners. The ambiance is described as cozy, rustic chic and very instagrammable, but the space can feel cramped and noisy during peak hours; lines can form even on quieter days, though many say the wait is worth it. Overall, reviews position Antipode as a top or must visit brunch destination in Montreal, valued for its creative culinary approach and striking drinks, while acknowledging occasional inconsistencies in service or value and the high price point.
C'est une super place à brunch de Montréal. Le menu est très élaborés, cocktails (Dorain Gray 🤩) & cafés (Pistachio 😋) sont débiles & l'ambiance & service super sympa. Vous ne serez vraiment pas déçus!!
Très joli resto pour le brunch, beau décor avec beaucoup de plantes. Les oeufs Bénédictines au saumon & guacamole sont juste trop bons! Le mélange des saveurs était juste parfait. Notre café & matcha étaient très bon. En hiver apportez vous une veste chaude car il fait froid.
We stopped in for a quick brunch before heading back home. The staff were attentive & we got seated quickly. The team there was also friendly We had two coffees Along with - Mushroom & Truffle Eggs Benedict : I would rate it's 4/5 because the truffle taste was overpowering with the rest of species they were using but the dish looked amazing ! - Yuzu Pear French Toast: we rate this 10/5! The textures & taste for the dish are complex & amazing ! You won't regret visiting & trying their food Also the atmosphere is beautiful & the interior design is beautiful for such a small space

I can see why this place is so popular - I came here with a few friends for brunch. Even before the place opened, there was quite a bit of a queue, so I recommend coming early to get a table since the restaurant is not extremely large.

De bons produits, un bon service avec serveurs sympa & pas tant d'attente que ça malgré le jour & le monde. Cependant, je ressors déçue & je trouve que c'est un peu surcoté, beaucoup de suppléments ce qui fait que le rapport qualité-prix n'est pas vraiment au rendez-vous pour un brunch. Il faut payer les accompagnements, les sauces, & les prix des plats me semblent plus surfer sur la pub que sur ce que ça vaut réellement. Néanmoins, si vous y allez juste pour une boisson chaude, c'est l'idéal, elles sont délicieuses. Même si je ne pense pas y retourner, je recommande d'y aller pour faire son avis, la nourriture est de qualité, & nous avons tous des attentes différentes.
Quel beau petit resto de quartier! Soyez près à faire la fil à l'extérieur (30-60 minutes un dimanche am) mais ça en vaut la peine. Pas donné comme brunch mais c'est vraiment succulent. Les croque-monsieurs sont les meilleurs que j'ai mangés à vie & les lattés sont incroyables! Je recommande fortement le croque-raclette & le latté au bueno. L'ambiance est super agréable, le service rapide & courtois. J'y retournerai assurément. Petite note, si vous n'aimez pas le cumin, évitez les patates, ce ne sont pas des patates déjeunées traditionnelles.
Great brunch & a nice selection of coffee beverage. The kinder bueno latte was good, nutty & sweet maybe a tad much salt We tried the croque, I loved the ham truffle more than the tartiflette one (too much the sweet camarelized onions) but both were good & big portion. Using flaky croissant crust is a game changer ! Buttery & so good 😊 However asking a 1$ for an average mayo is a theft.. didn't taste like homemade mayo .. I would still recommend the place for brunch ! (But avoid the mayo)

Best pistachio latte I've had in my life. Came here for a quick brunch with a friend, & ordered the mushroom eggs Benedict with a latte. Everything was exquisite! From the decor to the service to the food. Will definitely be coming back! 👌🏼
Une merveilleuse adresse de brunch à Montréal & qui change des habituels plats qu'on mange souvent lors de brunch.Le croque-monsieur à la truffe était excellent & j'ai particulièrement apprécié le pain de mes toasts qui était fait style croissant & très bien réalisé. Le dessert : le pain perdu, était divin.
Quartier loin de l'ultra centre ce qui très apprécié, plus calme, plus chaleureux. La note à la fin peut paraître un peu élevée mais ça vaut largement son prix!

You must try this place!!! Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures but this place offers an amazing experience, outstanding service & great food! We tried Shakshouka which was great! Their salmon œuf bending was one of the best I’ve ever had! The pistachio coffee looked aesthetic but did not taste good. You’d love this brunch spot if you want to create some social media/ culinarily content while enjoying good food!
