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.
Definitely one of the best brunch places in Montreal. The plates really look like a fancy restaurant. Yet, it is a bit more pricey than other places (about $90 for 2)
Nous avons brunché un dimanche & malgré la longue attente dehors (1h30 de queue), notre expérience a été super. Des petits pains au chocolats nous ont été amené dehors pour nous faire patienter. Le choix de plats est suffisant & sympa, les plats sont très bons & copieux. Les cocktails sont un peu chers mais très bon. Dans l'ensemble nous avons été plus que satisfait de notre brunch. Nous le recommandons !
I wish they had a waiting list. We waited for close to 1h outside. They did offer chocolatine & mimosas to many of us waiting in the line. The food was delicious & made with care. The presentation was beautiful & made with precision. We ordered the yuzu pain perdu & the salmon benedict
Absolutely incredible food!! My favorite place in Montreal for brunch. I've recommended it to all my friends who live in Montreal or go to visit because of their creativity & they've never failed to amaze me in the quality & yumminess of the food! Their extensive menu of cocktails & lattes are all thoughtfully crafted & created with adorable & yummy garnishes. The staff there is so lovely, I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful they all are & it really adds to the entire experience of Antipode. Once you go there the first time, you'll be making plans by the end of the meal when to come next. Thanks so much Antipode!
Les oeufs Bénédicte saumon guacamole étaient délicieux & bien copieux. L'ambiance est très agréable, le service également, seule l'attente pour les plats est un peu longue. Tout de même une bonne adresse pour un brunch !
J'ai eu une merveilleuse expérience lorsque j'y suis allée pour bruncher. Le service est excellent, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & la nourriture est délicieuse. Je recommande à tous le latte aux pistaches & la chakchouka :)

Accueil & service impeccable! Les plats sont délicieux, cadre chaleureux & le personnel est très agréable. Un endroit parfait pour bruncher! Si vous êtes de passage à Montréal c'est un must do ! Je recommande vivement!
After seeing many posts from people, I've decided to try this place. It's a small cafe/breakfast place but the decor was quite cute. I ordered a pistachio latte which looked really nice & tasted quite good. I also ordered a mushroom & truffle Eggs Benedict. The truffle sauce was delicious (I LOVE truffles), & the plate looked very appetizing! I understand why so many people went to try this place! I'd like to go back & try their other menu items some day. So far so good!
I arrived 10 minutes before opening & managed to skip the line (there were already about 15-20 people ahead of me). The mushroom & truffle eggs benedict was delicious! Loved their homemade sauce & bread. The pistachio latte on the other hand was only okay, it looked prettier than it tasted. My friend enjoyed her regular coffee though. We were also lucky we got our food quickly but it seemed like everyone else waited a really long time. Many plates were ready & sitting on the countertop but wasn't being served.
Looks like a very cozy atmosphere but unfortunately they did not meet our expectations. Both the waiter & waitress who served us were rude no acknowledgement whatsoever. Went there with friends & their babies & definitely not a baby friendly place. Very cluttered not much space & no baby diaper changing station in the bathroom. Definitely don't recommend it to mothers with toddlers or babies. I was not impressed by their menu as well as the service. Would probably not go back...

Un des meilleurs brunchs en ville! J'ai testé le pain perdu salé: divin,! Brioche bien imbibée & bien dorée, beaucoup de bacon caramélisé à souhait, l'oeuf poché, la mayo épicée 🔥🔥, le guacamole, la crème fouettée!!!! Tout était très équilibré & savoureux. Le seul point négatif: trop de brins de coriandre lol Je n'ai pas pu testé les cafés à cause d'une panne d'électricité Mais bravo à l'équipe pour ces plats travaillés & savoureux, malgré la coupure!
