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.
Allez bruncher dans cet établissement cosy & chaleureux Des plats atypiques avec des saveurs & des produits de qualité Je recommande vivement & sans hésitation
Allez-y les jours de semaine si vous pouvez pour éviter les files! Toujours délicieux. Leurs lattés sont créatifs & copieux. Ça fait de belles photos instagram peu importe le plat!
C'est vrai que nous avons été un samedi matin & le délai d'attente était interminable. La cuisine est originale & bonne & le service était au petit soins
An excellent place for brunch !!! So many choices & plates are so tasty. Many type of latte, decoration of plates are amazing as the plate ... I recommend it 100%.

Very aesthetically pleasing place, but that's all it is. Food was well done but not worth the price point & the drinks were mediocre at best. Service was slow though our server was really nice.
Just like the other people who didn't get the hype of this place, appreciated the chocolatine that they offered. Food is good but doesn't blow your mind & definitely not worth 1.5h wait😅 There are some other places who have the same or better quality than this place for sure. Only the latte is instagrammable & quite good (if you like it thick bc of the pistachio paste) but that's it 😂
Overall I loved the food, staff were friendly, the only down side is the waiting time. Arrived around 10:30 but didn't get to be seated until 11:30.(Saturday) I would suggest arrive around 10 to be the first patch of customers otherwise you will have to spend a while waiting. Came here knowing there is always a long line so I was cool with it but I usually won't wait for more than one hour on food.
J'ai un peu de mal à comprendre la hype autour de ce brunch. Ayant moi même été appâté par les nombreux posts Instagram des foodies de passage à Montréal je me suis rendue au brunch d'Antipode. Nous y sommes allés un dimanche matin, 15 minutes avant l'ouverture, il y avait déjà de l'attente (pas un soucis, nous étions prévenu). Nous sommes rentrés dès que le restaurant à ouvert & la commande a été prise rapidement, rien à redire la dessus. Mon amie & moi avons commandé les oeufs bénédictines au saumon, nous n'avons pas été conquis par le plat. Malheureusement à trop vouloir melangé les saveurs, on peut sy perdre. La sauce (qui n'était pas une sauce hollandaise classique) était, à mon goût, de trop. Le saumon, le guacamole ainsi que les oeufs étaient suffisant. Par contre, le croque truffe & les oeufs benedictines a la truffe étaient bons. Pour conclure, pas de quoi attendre 1h30 pour bruncher ici, il y a plein d'autres endroits que vous ne verrez pas sur Instagram bien meilleurs. Le service était bon & l'endroit est sympathique.
Très belle ambiance avec un personnel très sympa ! Le brunch était super bon 😋 malgré 1h45 d'attente ce dimanche, des chocolatines nous ont été distribuées pour patienter!

Best brunch in Montreal! The restaurant is very pretty & aesthetic. There plating presentation is incredible! We tried there famous lattes, our favorite was the chai latte. Everything was delicious & the flavour combinations were incredible! I recommend the yuzu pain perdu. We got a good service & the food arrived fast. You have to arrive early!!! The brunch starts at 10h, when the restaurant opens they filled it up completely. We arrived 30 min early & waited in line. They are very kind with their customer & served us some water. Overall, this hiden gem is definitely worth it. I definitely recommend trying it out!!
Je trouve cela tellement dommage de voir les mauvais reviews à cause que la file d'attente a été longue, la vraie définition de " victime de son succès" . Antipode vaut le détour & la longue file d'attente. Bravo pour votre succès, vous méritez toutes les fleurs! Soyez empathiques envers les restaurateurs, c'est une industrie très difficile de percer & ils travaillent fort pour survivre, pensez à deux fois aux dommages que cela peut causer de mettre 1⭐️.
Incredible food! The atmosphere is gorgeous & unique. The food & drinks have so much thought put into them & are equally as delicious. They seemed to be understaffed as the service was lacking but I will be back!
The food is good in taste but took too much time to get it & I consider is really overpriced, more than $100 for 3 coffees & plates like toasts. The place is too noisy.
