Antipode functions as a multifaceted culinary destination blending café culture with the artisanal precision of small plates. The kitchen emphasizes high-quality ingredients sourced for their flavor profile and structural integrity in both hot and cold preparations. A distinct focus on craft beverage production balances the food menu, which centers on Mediterranean-influenced shared plates and complex caffeinated brews. The environment utilizes a deliberate architectural layout to prioritize functional flow while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic throughout the space. Guests encounter a focused menu where simple, raw components undergo transformation into refined portions designed for individual or group consumption. The establishment maintains a consistent operational standard that prioritizes texture and seasoning across every item offered on the permanent menu.
Antipode is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal for its visually stunning brunch plates and highly aesthetic specialty lattes, which are frequently described as delicious and flavorful. While many guests praise the unique, creative menu and the cozy, artistic atmosphere, experiences regarding service and value can be inconsistent. The restaurant is consistently busy, often resulting in long queues and occasional wait times for both tables and food. Although some patrons consider the pricing to be on the higher side or feel that aesthetics sometimes take precedence over culinary execution, many others find the generous portions and high-quality ingredients justify the visit, making it a popular, must-try spot for those seeking a memorable brunch experience.
Nous avons passé un très bon moment dans ce brunch recommandé par un ami. Service impeccable, personnel agréable & plats de qualité à la hauteur des visuels !
Restaurant découvert à la dernière minute avec ma meilleure amie. Je ne suis pas une grande fan de l'entrée, mais cela correspondait bien au style du restaurant. Nous sommes arrivées vers 13 h pour un brunch. Menu simple & court, exactement comme je les aime.
J'ai commandé les oeufs bénédictine Jambon de Parme & asperges. Le repas était bon, mais la sauce secrète (verte sur l'image) était, à mon avis, de trop & masquait les saveurs du prosciutto. Mon amie, qui avait choisi le saumon & guacamole, partageait le même commentaire : le goût de l'avocat était pratiquement absent.
Cela dit, très bel endroit, bon service, rapide &
efficace. Je le recommanderais tout de même.
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 !
I absolutely loved it here. It is located in the cutest neighborhood that has a vintage feel. The restaurant itself has a beautiful esthetic. There was a small line up when we arrived, but the greeted us promptly & we only had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. We had 6 adults & 2 babies & they still went above & beyond to make us comfy. I really appreciated the kind & friendly service. The food & beverages were also amazing with gorgeous presentation. I highly recommend this spot for a brunch day ❤?
This is my absolute favourite brunch spot in Montreal! The food & drinks are all delicious, with unique flavour combinations, & the space is super cosy.
The dishes come out at a reasonable speed & the staff are always polite & friendly! Huge shoutout to the servers who bore through me trying to speak French & even offered me tips to improve :) I'm currently learning the language & I truly appreciate it when people let me practice with them.
I highly recommend the yuzu pain perdu, beurre noisette saumon, pistachio latte, & matcha latte. & a tip, if you're going on a weekend, make sure you arrive early, because it gets quite busy & wait times can be long!
Recommend their specialty coffee & drinks, taste fresh & rich. The food, not my style, mixed too much different ingredients, styles & cultures & ends up as neither tasty nor quality. We had high expectation, but the food only looks good. Disappointed.
Petit restaurant du quartier situé sur Laurier qui est facilement accessible par transport en commun ou voiture.
C'est sincèrement un des meilleurs restaurants à déjeuner sur l'île de Montréal. Ce n'est pas un de ses restaurants qui est seulement instagrammable pour sa beauté, mais le goût, la qualité des aliments, la beauté des plats fait en sorte que ce restaurant ce démarque de plusieurs grandes chaînes.
Le seul « ick » honnêtement , c'est qu'il est tellement populaire & espace restreint qu'il y a de grandes chances que vous patientez jusqu'à 30 minutes pour y accéder.
