Antipode functions as a multifaceted culinary destination blending café culture with the artisanal precision of small plates. The kitchen emphasizes high-quality ingredients sourced for their flavor profile and structural integrity in both hot and cold preparations. A distinct focus on craft beverage production balances the food menu, which centers on Mediterranean-influenced shared plates and complex caffeinated brews. The environment utilizes a deliberate architectural layout to prioritize functional flow while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic throughout the space. Guests encounter a focused menu where simple, raw components undergo transformation into refined portions designed for individual or group consumption. The establishment maintains a consistent operational standard that prioritizes texture and seasoning across every item offered on the permanent menu.
Antipode is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal for its visually stunning brunch plates and highly aesthetic specialty lattes, which are frequently described as delicious and flavorful. While many guests praise the unique, creative menu and the cozy, artistic atmosphere, experiences regarding service and value can be inconsistent. The restaurant is consistently busy, often resulting in long queues and occasional wait times for both tables and food. Although some patrons consider the pricing to be on the higher side or feel that aesthetics sometimes take precedence over culinary execution, many others find the generous portions and high-quality ingredients justify the visit, making it a popular, must-try spot for those seeking a memorable brunch experience.
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 !!!

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!
Amazing food & service, unfortunate that nothing comes with your plate or than the meal itself (no potatoes, fruits, toast) you have to pay extra. Also the place is quite dusty especially the ceiling air ducts which are showing their age, as well as the poorly isolated entrance doors.
The place is beautiful, & the decor is amazing. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, but to me, it didn't feel like a traditional Benedict due to the color & different taste of the sauce. I didn't love the dish-the bread was really good, & the eggs were perfectly done, but the green sauce, which had a vinegary taste, made the dish feel overly salty due to the Serrano ham. The staff was friendly, with a great presentation, & the matcha was good-I'd say that was my favorite part along with the plate presentation. Honestly, I struggled to finish the dish because it tasted too salty & vinegary. I've seen many positive reviews, so it must depend on personal preferences. However, traditionally, Benedict sauce isn't green & doesn't contain mint or herbs, but rather just butter & egg yolk.
