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.
It is very popular so BE READY to have your food súper LATE. You can totally be a walking with a waiting time of 1 to 2 hours so it's a bit chaotic.
Food is really good, it's an excellent plate with great prices.
Service is good they are nice but they TRY SO HARD for you to not get mad at your plate being late & all.
Assurément l'un des meilleurs brunchs à Montréal - si ce n'est le meilleur !
Un 10/10 sur toute la ligne : la qualité & la présentation des plats, le service attentionné, l'ambiance… tout était parfait.
Un grand merci à Mathieu & toute l'équipe pour leur accueil chaleureux & leur bienveillance, surtout avec notre bébé de 4 mois 🩵
On reviendra sans hésiter - une adresse coup de coeur !

Place was incredible ! Food was great hard to choose which dish but luckily we had a great server Chloe!! Was amazing! helped a lot with choices ! Definitely gonna be back!
Je suis allée bruncher pour ma fête dans ce restaurant depuis longtemps sur ma liste. C'était excellent & très copieux (j'ai pourtant bon appétit!), le café avec le sirop de pistache fait maison exceptionnel & le service au top, le serveur était accueillant & m'a bien conseillée. Je recommande !

We were looking for a spontaneous date day to have brunch & after few research found this place. Decided to give it a try as the menu seemed interesting & prices seemed reasonable for brunch. The tiramisu latte looked delicious as well. We ordered & waited 45 mins for our food. They brought out the truffle fries we had ordered & at this point we were starving & devoured the fries. When the food finally came out we were no longer hungry. We took 3 bites & brought the rest to go. It was unfortunate that they were short in the kitchen that day therefore considered all before giving this rating. Great staff, food, & atmosphere regardless.
Les assiettes & les boissons sont certainement belles mais je trouve le resto légèrement overrated.
La nourriture est bonne, mais sans plus. Un peu cher pour ce que c'est selon moi. Par contre, les cafés sont vraiment uniques. J'ai aimé, mais pas assez pour faire la longue file le week-end.
Je suggère d'y aller dès l'ouverture le week-end ou bien un jour de semaine pour éviter l'attente !

I absolutely loved it here. It is located in the cutest neighborhood that has a vintage feel. The restaurant itself has a beautiful esthetic. There was a small line up when we arrived, but the greeted us promptly & we only had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. We had 6 adults & 2 babies & they still went above & beyond to make us comfy. I really appreciated the kind & friendly service. The food & beverages were also amazing with gorgeous presentation. I highly recommend this spot for a brunch day ❤?
Great service, the server was attentive to our request & really pleasant to interact with. However, a previous comment stated that the glasses were dirty, this remains accurate. Ustensils also had some stains.
