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.
C'était absolument délicieux! Rapport qualité-prix, ça en vaut le coup! Il s'agit d'un petit restaurant en terme de nombre de places, mais c'est exactement ce qui fait son charme.
C'est une super place à brunch de Montréal. Le menu est très élaborés, cocktails (Dorain Gray 🤩) & cafés (Pistachio 😋) sont débiles & l'ambiance & service super sympa. Vous ne serez vraiment pas déçus!!
Excellent latte bueno! Nous avons pris l'assiette de poulet frit & croque monsieur. Le poulet frit est super bon. Le croque monsieur un peu trop gras. Je ne recommande pas les patates en extra, elles sont brulées & l'assaisonnement trop de cumin. Au final, c'était trop cher pour ce que c'est. Franchement, charger pour le ketchup & mayonnaise sans me le dire quand le croissant est 25$. Attente pour assiette 35 mins. Les serveuses dû à la file d'attente, nous ont demandés si on voulait nos factures à plusieurs reprises pour qu'on quitte rapidement...

I've never felt compelled to review a restaurant before- but I've never experienced something like this before & had to comment!! Our waitress (Melanie) was absolutely lovely, & suggested the chicken & waffle when I asked for a recommendation. She was absolutely right, it was delicious! But I have a severe peanut allergy, & completely overlooked that it had a peanut crumble on top. I asked if it was ok if I sent it back, & she was so accommodating & worried. I got a new plate in what felt like seconds- no peanuts involved. She was so lovely & so sweet, & had to share! Thank you Melanie :) the meal & tiramisu latte was AMAZING 🩷
Très joli resto pour le brunch, beau décor avec beaucoup de plantes. Les oeufs Bénédictines au saumon & guacamole sont juste trop bons! Le mélange des saveurs était juste parfait. Notre café & matcha étaient très bon. En hiver apportez vous une veste chaude car il fait froid.
Bon service, les serveurs sont accueillants & répondent aux questions avec attention. Le menu est varié avec plusieurs options végétariennes & de belles boissons. Le pain perdu au Yuzu est excellent, un des meilleurs à Montréal. Prix standard à Montréal, bonne atmosphère & de très belles présentations pour les assiettes.
We stopped in for a quick brunch before heading back home. The staff were attentive & we got seated quickly. The team there was also friendly We had two coffees Along with - Mushroom & Truffle Eggs Benedict : I would rate it's 4/5 because the truffle taste was overpowering with the rest of species they were using but the dish looked amazing ! - Yuzu Pear French Toast: we rate this 10/5! The textures & taste for the dish are complex & amazing ! You won't regret visiting & trying their food Also the atmosphere is beautiful & the interior design is beautiful for such a small space

I can see why this place is so popular - I came here with a few friends for brunch. Even before the place opened, there was quite a bit of a queue, so I recommend coming early to get a table since the restaurant is not extremely large. I I can see why this place is so popular - I came here with a few friends for brunch. Even before the place opened, there was quite a bit of a queue, so I recommend coming early to get a table. I ordered the salmon eggs Benedict & pistachio latte, & I love both!
I had the croque monsieur & thought it was delicious! The only thing I would say is the service is pretty bad... We came in around 12:30 & got seated but only received service after 13:15. We actually had to call them to get our orders taken & get water... The waitresses did not check in on us once when we were there. It is disappointing to have such service when the food has a lot of potential.
De bons produits, un bon service avec serveurs sympa & pas tant d'attente que ça malgré le jour & le monde. Cependant, je ressors déçue & je trouve que c'est un peu surcoté, beaucoup de suppléments ce qui fait que le rapport qualité-prix n'est pas vraiment au rendez-vous pour un brunch. Il faut payer les accompagnements, les sauces, & les prix des plats me semblent plus surfer sur la pub que sur ce que ça vaut réellement. Néanmoins, si vous y allez juste pour une boisson chaude, c'est l'idéal, elles sont délicieuses. Même si je ne pense pas y retourner, je recommande d'y aller pour faire son avis, la nourriture est de qualité, & nous avons tous des attentes différentes.

Expérience unique les oeufs benedicts étaient vraiment bon. Le service etait excellent, amicale mais pas intrusif. Vous devez essayer leurs entrée l'aubergine frit elle est légèrete & goute incroyablement bon
Quel beau petit resto de quartier! Soyez près à faire la fil à l'extérieur (30-60 minutes un dimanche am) mais ça en vaut la peine. Pas donné comme brunch mais c'est vraiment succulent. Les croque-monsieurs sont les meilleurs que j'ai mangés à vie & les lattés sont incroyables! Je recommande fortement le croque-raclette & le latté au bueno. L'ambiance est super agréable, le service rapide & courtois. J'y retournerai assurément. Petite note, si vous n'aimez pas le cumin, évitez les patates, ce ne sont pas des patates déjeunées traditionnelles.
