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.

Antipode est un restaurant au charme rustique, avec une déco qui donne vraiment un sentiment de liberté. Leur sélection de cafés'sucrés' est originale, visuellement très belle & clairement faite pour plaire autant au goût qu'à Instagram. La nourriture est également très bonne, avec une approche unique qui se démarque. C'est définitivement une adresse à découvrir & à essayer au moins une fois.
Highly instagrammable cafe with tasty brunch options & aesthetic drinks.
Food was delicious, with interesting middle eastern hint of flavours. I love that there were so many options for breakfast/brunch. The beverages look majestic.
In my opinion, the prices were a little overpriced for the quality, but the food was quite flavourful.
The only negative point, is the waiting list outside the restaurant. The queues can get really long. My friends & I waited 20 mins.
Je suis allée bruncher pour ma fête dans ce restaurant depuis longtemps sur ma liste. C'était excellent & très copieux (j'ai pourtant bon appétit!), le café avec le sirop de pistache fait maison exceptionnel & le service au top, le serveur était accueillant & m'a bien conseillée. Je recommande !
Les assiettes & les boissons sont certainement belles mais je trouve le resto légèrement overrated.
La nourriture est bonne, mais sans plus. Un peu cher pour ce que c'est selon moi. Par contre, les cafés sont vraiment uniques. J'ai aimé, mais pas assez pour faire la longue file le week-end.
Je suggère d'y aller dès l'ouverture le week-end ou bien un jour de semaine pour éviter l'attente !
J'ai adoré ma visite à ce magnifique café. Les cafés sont une ouvre d'art. La decoration est vraiment cool. J'ai trop aimé le latte pistache. Ça serait dans ma liste sûrement lors que je vais y retoruner!! & J'ai mangé le pain perdu salé saumon. C'était vraiment épicé pour mon goût. L'attente pour rentrer à été quand même longue (40mim).
Assiettes savoureuses & originales
Excellent café latte aux pistaches
Longue attente à l'extérieur car très très populaire le weekend mais ils offrent des chocolatines pour patiente
One of the best cute cafe's out there in Montreal. Don't miss out this spot , the service was on spot , people were great , food was hands down best , I got myself chai latte & a pork bennedict , oh la la . Give a try guys , worth it .
went on a tuesday midday in january, was seated immediately, went alone bcs i'm not waiting for my friends to free themselves up for me & sure it was not busy & the volume was nice, had a little read & it didn't bother me, given i was wearing noise-cancelling headphones. very pretty café! nice waiting staff, on their shit, no note for them. i noticed on the menu was a distinct lack of descriptions for the meals - who cares for the drinks but the meals? it's... rare, let's say. am i supposed to know the menu already? right. so i went with the dutch baby pancake which i know as pannenkoeken. (i was expecting poffertjes from the name bcs i'm not familiar with the english version of dutch dishes). i couldn't finish it, too full of crumble, apple mash & apple slices & the added caramel was unnecessary - just too sweet overall - & i wished i know there was caramel bcs i really hate caramel. & it's like... here i was expecting the classic pannenkoeken, but it resembled more of an apple crisp that was never heated - which leads me to add that i think it took too much time for the dutch baby pancake to come out. i'm not sure if it was intended to be cold or hot but i'd reckon that it was supposed to be hot bcs there was a ice cream scoop on top & it definitely did not melt & the pancake was definitely cold... i mean, isn't it the gimmick targeted in adding ice cream on top? the clash between hot & cold? i also noticed was that the chai latte i had was not a f**king chai latte, thank you. literally 80% of it is foam, no milk in the actual chai, tasted like hot water with a mini spike of cinnamon bcs there was some of the ring of the cup. there was also lavender added in - another thing a description on the menu should have mentioned. didn't even drink 20% of that, left it alone, for god's sake. in the end, very lackluster, down right disappointing. for the price & alledged popularity, i'd look elsewhere or make it myself at home (def doable) bcs who the f**k cares if it's pretty & instagrammable if the food isn't doing it? right. maybe the other things on the menu are good but... i sure won't be finding out.
I love how cozy the place is, the specialty cafe latte were delicious! It took a good 45mins to have our food, i took chicken & waffles, chicken was so hard to cut & eat. If I'd come back it would be for the benedict
