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 celebrated as a premier brunch destination in Montreal, distinguished by its exceptionally aesthetic and flavorful menu. Visitors frequently praise the creative and generous portions, with the pistachio latte, eggs Benedict, and Yuzu French toast standing out as popular favorites. The restaurant offers a bright, cozy, and vibrant atmosphere that makes for a memorable dining experience. While the popularity of the spot often results in queues and occasional waits for tables, the majority of guests find the attentive service, unique culinary presentation, and high-quality ingredients well worth the visit, making it a highly recommended stop for those seeking an elevated brunch.
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.
During my short trip to Montreal, I chose this place for brunch & it didn't disappoint. There was a bit of a line, but it moved quickly & was absolutely worth it. The food was excellent, every bite hit the mark. Our server was friendly & made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place.
Une superbe découverte ! Tout était parfait : le service, la présentation des plats, & surtout le goût. Une expérience sans fausse note. Je recommande vivement 😉
Definitely the place to be!
If you are looking for a great brunch place with high quality taste & creative culinary, this is the place to be.
Ive been here several times & so far no other place beats it!!
Their specialties are the Benedicts & the lattés (but also everything else is super good & special)
I recommend taking any of the egg benedict choices & the bueno latte (hot) & the tiramisu latte (frappe)
So far we ve tried the Benedicts, the shakshouka, the croque mr & croque mme & different lattes. Everything is super good. There is definitely no disappointment in this place.
The service is remarkable!! The staff is always smiling, happy & super nice!!
Even when the place is overly crowded they will make sure to accommodate all your needs & make sure you're hapoy & satisfied! They would never accept you leaving unhappy for anythg!
Great place for brunch! The food looks amazing & tastes even better. We had the salmon Benedict, shakshuka, croque madame, & the special pain perdu. The drinks, especially the tiramisu & Bueno lattes, were delicious. Service was great - a small delay in drinks, but the manager offered us a complimentary cocktail. Highly recommend!
