Antipode fonctionne comme une destination culinaire polyvalente alliant la culture café à la précision artisanale des petites assiettes. La cuisine privilégie des ingrédients de haute qualité sélectionnés pour leur profil aromatique et leur intégrité structurelle dans les préparations froides ou chaudes. Un accent particulier sur la production de boissons artisanales équilibre le menu composé d'assiettes à partager d'inspiration méditerranéenne et de breuvages caféinés complexes. L'environnement utilise une disposition architecturale délibérée pour favoriser une circulation fluide tout en maintenant une esthétique minimaliste dans tout l'espace. Les clients découvrent une carte ciblée où des composants simples et bruts subissent une transformation en portions raffinées conçues pour une consommation individuelle ou de groupe. L'établissement maintient une norme opérationnelle constante qui priorise la texture et l'assaisonnement de chaque élément proposé au menu permanent.
Antipode est largement reconnu pour ses plats esthétiques visuellement saisissants et ses lattés créatifs, qui constituent souvent un point fort pour les visiteurs. De nombreux clients apprécient les combinaisons de saveurs uniques et la qualité des ingrédients, citant fréquemment les œufs bénédictine, le pain doré et les boissons spécialisées comme des incontournables. Bien que l'atmosphère soit généralement décrite comme chaleureuse, chic et dynamique, le restaurant est extrêmement populaire, ce qui entraîne souvent de longues attentes et un environnement de salle restreint. Les avis sur les prix sont partagés, car certains clients estiment que les portions généreuses justifient le coût, tandis que d'autres trouvent l'addition élevée pour un brunch. Bien que la plupart des commentaires soulignent un service amical et attentionné, les expériences peuvent être inconstantes, avec des signalements occasionnels de lenteur, de plats servis tièdes ou d'un personnel pressé durant les heures de pointe.
As other review mentions, this place is good, but with a low bang for your buck. With taxes & the somewhat forced 17% tip, I paid 47.50 for a glass of fresh glass of orange juice & a delicious, but half empty, plate of eggs Benedict. No potatoes, no fruit, nothing...
As for the service, it was ok, but we felt rushed to get out as soon as we had finished eating, & nobody was waiting in line.
So one star lost for lack of value, & one more for the service ....
An absolute gem! I had a Lotus Bischoff latte & a tiramisu latte for the first time ever, & both were mind-blowing, so unique & incredibly delicious. It wasn't just the coffee that impressed us; the food was equally amazing. The brown egg classic & the mushroom truffle eggs benedict were absolutely outstanding, full of flavor, & beautifully prepared. Everything we tried exceeded expectations. A definite must-try!
Everything is aesthetic, from the decor to the menu to the dishes.
The salmon egg Benedict was a bit too salty but otherwise delicious.
Cortado was good, pretty standard. Looking forward to trying other drinks next time.
Such an Instagrammable place to brunch. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with Mushroom & Truffle (plate at the bottom), & there are no words to describe how incredibly tasty it was. Not only was it really beautifully presented, but it was so so good. I'm usually a big fan of anything mushrooms & truffles, & this option for breakfast is definitely the perfect choice for anyone who enjoys a savoury breakfast. My friend & I also ordered the pretty-looking lattes, but they did not stand out to me that much. It could also be that I don't enjoy sweet lattes that much, so that's on me. Overall, I would definitely come back for this dish, I still dream about it to this day.
J'ai été manche en ce lundi férié, la salle était pleine le service agréable, les odeurs donnais très envie !!!
& quelle bonheur de voir que dans les assiettes c'était la même vibe !! De la croquette d'aubergines en passant part part l'oeuf Bénédicte & termine part ce délicieux pancakes à la pomme !!! Un pure régal !! Rien à redire ! J'y retournerai les yeux fermés
Merci pour ce beaux repas 😃
A stellar brunch spot for the most gorgeous plates & drinks! This location doesn't take reservations & gets super busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait at peak hours. Luckily for us, it was only about a ten minute wait on a Saturday around 11:30. The staff are alert & frequently, so don't be afraid to ask about the menu. The interior is chic with lots of interesting decorations to observe.
Of course, you have to try their stunning beverages. We got the London Fog & the Latte Rosé. The drinks were really smooth & soothing for a cold morning.
The menu has good variety, & we chose the croque tartiflette, the brisket & champignons eggs Benedict, & the pain perdu yuzu. The entrees are pretty expensive, but the portions are extremely large, which slightly makes up for the price. The croque tartiflette had two huge slices of crusty sourdough bread filled with caramelized onion chutney, bechamel sauce, & cheddar cheese. It was also topped with more melty cheese & bacon, a the whole croque was placed over a huge fried cheese skirt. The eggs Benedict had crunchy English muffins topped with a healthy amount of delicious brisket, poached eggs, & really fresh mushrooms that had a potent aroma. Finally, the pain perdu yuzu looked phenomenal. There were two huge slabs of fried, crunchy bread served alongside a poached pear, yuzu gel, & vanilla ice cream with crumble.
Antipode will deliver a hearty, delicious brunch that will put you right to sleep!
As someone who considers themselves a brunch expert, I feel comfortable giving a precise review of Antipode.
The food is good, with an interesting complexity of flavors. Their house hollandaise sauce is unlike anything I've had elsewhere - more aromatic & distinctive (even though some of my friends didn't love its appearance). The service is excellent, & the décor feels very authentic.
So what's the issue? The price. It stands out compared to other brunch spots offering similar quality. It feels even less accessible when you consider that the eggs Benedict do not come with potatoes or salad - you only get the eggs Benedict themselves, which is uncommon compared to most places.
Because of that, the value for money isn't great. On the day I went, the wait wasn't too bad - just a small group ahead of us.
I wouldn't go back, but I do recommend going once to try it.
The dishes are Instagram-ready, beautifully plated & very appealing visually. Unfortunately, the flavors didn't quite match the presentation. The mushroom & truffle Benedict was overly salty, & the Choco Bounty latte was far too sweet. The tiramisu latte was decent, though the flavor could have been a bit more pronounced. Overall, it felt like the focus was more on aesthetics than on the quality of the food itself.
Service was also quite slow, especially considering there weren't many customers when we arrived. It makes me wonder how long the wait might be during peak hours.
One thing to note: 17% + tips is added by default.
The positive sides were drinks & service. Their themed lattes are spot on. Not too sweet & still can taste coffee itself. Service was welcoming & took care of my partner's allergy request.
However, once we received our food, our enthusiasm has sunk. I ordered croque tartiflette & honestly I don't understand how anyone can enjoy 2 pieces of bread sprinkled by some bacon & covered by some cheddar while paying over 30$ for it including tax & tips. I guess some people do. My fault to order that. Arrived cold.
My partner ordered truffle & champignons Benedict. Came stone cold. The green sause tasted straight up as a fish. There was no even a hint to taste any truffle since that fish taste overshadows anything on the plate.
In conclusion, will probably come back to get a take out for a coffee. In terms of food, it was the worst brunch I've tried so fa
