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.
Restaurant sympathique pour bruncher à Montréal avec une ambiance chaleureuse & trendy. Malheureusement les plats manquaient tout de même d'équilibre & de raffinement.

Excellent endroit pour un excellent brunch ! Toujours aussi bon & original. Un très bon moment passé. Attention il faut être là à l'ouverture pour espérer avoir une table !
Cute brunch spot. The staff is friendly. They are really popular on tiktok. Since they don't take reservations for brunch, do expect to wait 30-45 minutes. Groups of 2 usually get to sit faster.
Malgré une attente plutôt longue pour pouvoir être assis à une table (45 min environ), le brunch vaut vraiment le coup ! La qualité des plats comme des boissons est au rendez-vous ! Le cadre est également très agréable.

actually the best food, definitely the best brunch i've had in montreal. it was super busy & the line was like 45 minutes long, so they brought out chocolate croissant while everyone waited, it was really nice & it tasted amazing
Excellent. La seule chose négative est la ligne dé attend mais ça vaut vraiment la peine la faire. Merci beaucoup pour l'excellent service & la nourriture 5 étoiles.
C'est populaire donc on fait la file pour manger. Au coeur du Plateau sur la magnifique rue Laurier est, ce restaurant changera vos brunch ordinaires. J'ai partagé un salé - sucré avec un délicieux chakchouka & des pancakes en gâteau éponge aux saveurs coco, passion. Oui, il y a de l'attente mais c'est tellement bon que le brunch est devenu l'activité de l'après-midi.
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

Endroit très agréable, service, parfait, je trouve que les plats ne sont pas très copieux, mais ils sont bons, le seul regret, c'est que pour moi le prix est beaucoup trop élevé pour la quantité & pour le plat, mais pour le reste un endroit très sympa.
Nous sommes restés 10 jours à Montréal & le restaurant Antipode est de loin le lieu où nous avons le mieux diné. Un plaisir tant pour les papilles que pour les yeux. Je recommande vivement cette adresse. Nous y reviendrons avec plaisir & gourmandise. Bravo à toute l'équipe !!!
Je ne laisse jamais de commentaires ou d'avis là où je vais mais LÀ ! Endroit incroyable où vous avez autant de plaisirs pour les yeux que pour le palais. Si vous voulez bien manger à Montréal n'hésitez pas aller faire un tour sur le plateau.
Have been there with group of friends for a brunch it was OK I had a chakchuka my dish was tasty but the others meals was just average the hot drinks same thing no so wow the desserts was nice the thing is that not so much choice Well you will need to level up your standard good luck
My first time at this charming restaurant in Montreal. The cuisine was fantastic, every dish was well executed. The flavours, smells & textures of all the foods we tried were amazing. For something different yet familiar, this is a great place for brunch or dinner. Give it a try! They also have a great drinks menu!
