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.
Very seasonal menu. Been great at breakfast, brunch & dinner, different vibe every time. Live music sometimes too! One of my favourite restaurants in Montreal
What an incredible experience Antipode was! Although we had to wait a while for a table, the warm greeting & thoughtful updates from staff made it seem like less time. Each of our meals & drinks were top tier in taste & presentation. Definitely a highlight of our Montreal trip.
Saumon fumé & guacamole 4/5 Benedict eggs with smoked salmon & guacamole. A refreshing taste. Croque Truffe 4.5/5 Ham & truffle cheese sandwich, quite good. Gaufre & Poulet 4.5/5 It tastes like Korean fried chicken. The flavor is delicious, but it's too common for us. Pain Perdu yuzu 3.5/5 The presentation is very nice, & the pear is quite special, but the taste is just okay. Latte Pistachio 5/5 Latte Tiramisu 4.5/5 Latte Lavande 3/5 The ambiance of the restaurant is particularly beautiful, with decor featuring elements of greenery & sculptures.
Super resto, plats délicieux & service impeccable! Merci à la fille qui nous a offerts des chocolatines en guise d'excuse pour l'attente, un geste très apprécié ❤️ Une adresse à retenir, j'y reviendrai avec plaisir.

Excellent brunch spot with wide open windows for a hybrid indoor-outdoor experience. Atmosphere is really welcoming, with Greek-hellenistic & postmodern art on the walls & around. Service: excellent. Juliette, our waitress, was attentive & kind. She serviced us in both English & French, took our orders immediately & refilled water frequently. We went for noon on a Sunday, waited a out 35 minutes in line, not bad at all since this place is viral on social media. Drinks: Went for the tiramisu latte (cold) & pistachio latte (warm). Both live up to the hype. Food: passion fruit pancakes had super flavorful sauces, mix of yuzu passionfruit Jelly & hazelnut. The pancake itself was fluffy, but could be a bit more moist & buttery. The eggs Benedict with smoked salmon & guacamole was sublime. TDLR: definitely worth the hype. Delicious food & drinks. Not a long line up for the value. Worth it A+++
Je viens de découvrir votre établissement. Vos tapas son excellent. La serveuse Juliette nous a offert un service 5 étoiles. Je compte revenir avec mes amis essayer vos brunch. Notre serveuse m'a proposé la création de la Bartender ( le TikTok ) que je conseille x100. Une carte de cocktail originale. Les lieux sont très propre, un bon rapport qualité prix. Définitivement une place visiter pour passer un bon moment
Première fois chez Antipode & ravis! Pendant que nous patientons dehors, on nous a proposé des mini pains au chocolat pour l'attente. Personnel très sympa, en particulier notre serveuse très gentille & souriante & qui a pris le temps de nous expliquer les plats. Le latte pistache est vraiment délicieux ainsi que les plats très savoureux, les portions généreuses & les goûts qui sortent de l'ordinaire. (J'ai pris les oeufs bénédictines truffes champignons & mon mari & mon amie gaufre poulet ils ont beaucoup aimé!). Le gérant du restaurant est très sympathique aussi. À refaire pour tester les croque monsieur.
Un de mes top 3 resto brunch incontournable. Je recommande les oeufs Bénédicte au saumon & le pain perdu qui sont succuuuuulents. Merci à Juliette, la serveuse, de son acceuil & ses recommandations. Il y a du monde, mais ça vaut le coup d'y aller. Que du bonheur !
This brunch spot is incredibly popular. Been waiting to try this place with my sister for a while & we weren't disappointed! Since we went on a Saturday lunch, we had to wait for around 20 minutes (not long compared to other people waiting more than an hour). They were so friendly & thoughtful, even offered me & my sister a table with good views & lighting since it was pretty obvious that we girls would love to take nice photos here. The food was unbelievably delicious - the best brunch we've had in Montreal. The drinks were cute, delicate & good pairing with the food we ordered as well.
Deux mots: DÉBILEMENT BON !! 🤩 Juste incroyable le goût, les saveurs. Le cuisinier qui prépare les plats à clairement l'oeil pour l'esthétique des assiettes. Franchement c'est un restaurant que je recommande fortement. Merci Antipode ! ☀️🌸🌿 Café: Latté à la pistache Repas: Pain perdu
