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.
Went here twice already, last time was last year. It was trendy back then, the line was long & waited 2 hours. A year later, they held up with their quality of food & service & the line is still so long till the hour they're supposed to close. I got the chicken waffle (best thing ever) with their iconic tiramisu latte, & also tried their nutella & pistachio latte which are amazing as well. Definitely a must try bruch in montreal
Belle place pour bruncher : latte excellent, déco sympa, bon service. Le pain perdu au yuzu est vraiment original & tous les plats sont super bien présentés ! Seul bémol : la sauce secrète mériterait un peu plus de'kick'.

Mon nouveau spot de brunch préféré! Le repas était succulent! Des portions généreuses & une bonne atmosphère! Le serveur, je pense qu'il s'appelle Alex, a été très gentil & agréable. J'ai pris des oeufs bénédictines saumon & avocat avec un latté tiramisu. Mon mari a pris les gaufres avec poulet. Tout était délicieux & savoureux. J'ai hâte d'y retourner essayer le reste du menu.
Best Brunch spot I've been to. Alex was phenomenal at helping us decide what to order. Thank you for the amazing service & the delicious benedicts, coffee, & pain perdue 😍
Absolutely worth the wait! This upscale breakfast spot had a bit of a line, but it moved quickly-& trust me, it was well worth it. The food was delicious, every bite was spot-on. Huge shoutout to Matthew & Alexa-they were incredibly friendly & made the experience even better. Highly recommend!
Excellent! Il y a certes un peu d'attente mais ça en vaut la peine. Choix d'associations très intéressantes, goûts subtiles, atmosphère chaleureuse & surtout un très bon service.

J'étais agréablement surprise. C'était au delà de mes attentes. Les saveurs sont vraiment recherchées & les plats était copieux. Très belle présentation. C'était délicieux. Très bon service, simplement une longue attente pour entrer.
Their Egg Benedicts are so good (tried Salmon, brisket & sausage - & the brisket was so far the best!!), the sauce, the kick, the presentation... everything very original! Love their fat ass coffees too, Tiramisu latte is my fav. The only downside is the wait time, if you wanna avoid lines & the orders getting delayed, go before 9:30 AM especially for weekends.
C'était délicieux ! Le latte tiramisu n'est pas trop sucré étonnamment! J'ai pris le croque madame & j'aurais pu facilement le partager, mais c'était trop bon alors je l'ai fini.
This is a great brunch spot in this area of Montreal! There is always a line though, we went at 1:30 pm & we had to wait for 30 minutes for a seat so I suggest to go early. Other than this, the attention is great, it is a small & cozy place, it looks kind of crowded but thats the vibe.
Food is amazing, can't go wrong with anything, favorite was the tiramisu latte!
J'ai adoré ma visite à ce magnifique café. Les cafés sont une ouvre d'art. La decoration est vraiment cool. J'ai trop aimé le latte pistache. Ça serait dans ma liste sûrement lors que je vais y retoruner!! & J'ai mangé le pain perdu salé saumon. C'était vraiment épicé pour mon goût. L'attente pour rentrer à été quand même longue (40mim).
