The smoked salmon & avocado egg's Benedict was absolutely delicious! I was really looking forward to trying the lattes with the pistachio & bueno rim, but the actual coffee is sweetened beyond comprehension. We could barely finishing drinking them. It would be awesome to be able to order them unsweetened (maybe you can, but I didn't think to ask). We went on a Sunday morning & waited about 30 min in line. Overall, I'd go back for the benedict alone!

10/10 for their AMAZINGLY fancy coffees. We tried the Tiramisu, Pistacchio & Pumpkin lattes. We also loved the food; croque madame, eggs benedict with salmon & guacamole & the francescinha. Perfect portions left us feeling satisfied & not overly stuffed. The waitress did not make us feel rushed during our brunch. ONLY downside was the one hour+ wait outside, but luckily it was a beautiful day. Will definitely come back!

Tucked away in a charming corner of Montreal, offers a brunch experience that transcends the ordinary. This cozy coffee shop exudes warmth & charm from the moment you step in, but it's the food that truly steals the show. Here, dishes are not merely meals-they are edible works of art. Each plate is a masterpiece, both visually stunning & bursting with flavor, delivering everything one could hope for in a leisurely weekend brunch. What sets Antipode apart is its playful creativity. The menu is full of unexpected pairings that somehow work beautifully, like the pistachio latte-a unique creation that, while a touch too sweet for my taste, was a delightful surprise. It's exactly the kind of imaginative twist that keeps you coming back for more. The dessert, however, was the undeniable highlight of the meal. The pain perdu-a glorious, indulgent take on French toast-was generously portioned, perfect for sharing, though I found it difficult to stop eating even when full. Its richness & comforting sweetness made for a perfect ending to a delightful meal. If you're looking to treat yourself on a lazy Saturday, Antipode is the place to be. Start with the eggs Benedict & a pistachio latte, then finish with the pain perdu for a sweet, satisfying finale. & do bring a friend-these generous portions are made to be shared, ensuring you both leave feeling content & in high spirits.

Tasty food & instagram sensation spot with fancy coffees. It's a bit too crowded for my liking.

They do not take reservations, so a lengthy wait in line is to be expected on a weekend, but it's not too bad. Once our party of two was seated, the waiter took forever to come & take our order. We took the infamous "Cochon" lattes (pistachio & speculos) which were insanely expensive & overpriced (the most expensive latte I've ever had). They were not even worth it. The coffee wasn't even pistachio/biscoff flavored, only the rim of the glass!!! Terribly disappointing for 8,50$ ! Then we chose the pain perdu & the chicken & waffles for our main. The pain perdu was quite good, very much autumn flavors, & the chicken & waffles were decent. We waited a good 45 minutes for our coffees & main to come! Our waiter would tend to other tables a lot quicker than ours. Once we finally received the bill, they charged me 1$ extra for the pain perdu, which was 23$ on the menu. I was so disappointed that I did not want to leave any tip. Will not be returning!

They have good food & drinks selection. However, it took so long before we got the food. We arrived before everyone else got there so we didn't have to wait in line. When we sat, there was a long wait already. 2 people in our group got the poke bowl & it was just okay. The coffee options were really good. The chai latter was amazing too! The korean wings was great!

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.
