"3 gars de la restauration, avec la même passion, se sont rencontrés dans un restaurant de Melbourne et ont décidé quelques années plus tard d'ouvrir le leur dans une ville aux antipodes: Montréal."
Ce lieu est l'accumulation de 3 visions, combinant plus de 30 ans d'expérience dans le domaine. Nous voulons vous présenter quelque chose d'unique, de part notre menu et notre restaurant. Contribuer avec notre originalité à la grande scène de Montréal.
Les avis sur Antipode soulignent une expérience de brunch prisée pour sa qualité et son esthétisme: des plats généreux et créatifs, avec des options comme shakshouka et différentes versions d'oeufs bénédictine, des croquettes d'aubergine et des desserts savoureux tels que pain perdu yuzu; les boissons, notamment le latte pistache et le tiramisu latte, sont souvent saluées pour leur goût et leur aspect photogénique. Le cadre rustique et cosy contribue à une ambiance chaleureuse qui fait de l endroit une adresse incontournable pour nombre de brunchers à Montréal; la fréquentation est élevée, les files d'attente longues, surtout le weekend, ce qui pousse à arriver tôt ou à privilégier les jours de semaine. Le service est généralement apprécié pour sa gentillesse et sa rapidité, mais des retours signalent des irrégularités et des temps d'attente plus longs lors de périodes chargées ou un certain manque de constance. Le rapport qualité-prix est parfois pointé du doigt en raison de tarifs élevés, mais beaucoup estiment que l'originalité des plats et la qualité des produits valent l'investissement. Dans lensemble, Antipode est perçu comme une destination de brunch créative et gourmande, avec des cafés et des lattes remarquables et une présentation soignée des plats qui attire une clientèle fidèle, tout en sachant que l'attente et le bruit peuvent être importants en weekend.
I chose the bueno latte. Really not that good.. Aesthetically pleasing to look at though.
I chose the mushroom & brisket egg benedict. Loved the flavours! I do recommend taking that.
I waited over 30 minutes to be sat at a table. There's a lineup most of the time the place is open. I feel the vibe isn't that'wow', I think people just visit to check it off their lists.
Def not a place for kids nor babies. Very crowded..
Our server was very kind tho..
4.5/5 ⭐️ We visited on a Sunday for brunch so it was very busy. We waited outside for about 30 minutes then once we were seated it took about 45-60 mins to get our food. I can't blame the service since I could tell they were trying their best with how busy it was! We got our drinks, a pistachio latte & nutella smarties drink, soon after ordering & they were phenomenal. It might be the best drink I've had & it was very aesthetic! We had the chakchouka classique & champignon & truffle eggs benedict - the only critique I have is that the sauce used for the eggs benedict has anchovies so my partner could not try the otherwise vegetarian dish. The chakchouka was vegetarian & I like how they included a side of hummus & olives as well. As a dessert we had the pain du perdu which was incredible. I'm not a fan of French toast but wow! The outside was crunchy & reminiscent of cinnamon sugar churros & the inside was soft. It seems the bread is made in house. It came with a variety of toppings as well & was very beautifully plated. I would recommend this to anyone wanting something sweet during brunch hours. So, although we had to wait a long time, the service was very friendly & the food was absolutely worth it. It makes sense that it was so busy! If possible I would try to come back on a weekday & also try the teatime menu.

The smoked salmon & avocado egg's Benedict was absolutely delicious! I was really looking forward to trying the lattes with the pistachio & bueno rim, but the actual coffee is sweetened beyond comprehension. We could barely finishing drinking them. It would be awesome to be able to order them unsweetened (maybe you can, but I didn't think to ask). We went on a Sunday morning & waited about 30 min in line. Overall, I'd go back for the benedict alone!
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
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.
10/10 for their AMAZINGLY fancy coffees. We tried the Tiramisu, Pistacchio & Pumpkin lattes. We also loved the food; croque madame, eggs benedict with salmon & guacamole & the francescinha. Perfect portions left us feeling satisfied & not overly stuffed. The waitress did not make us feel rushed during our brunch. ONLY downside was the one hour+ wait outside, but luckily it was a beautiful day. Will definitely come back!
J'avais très envie de faire un brunch dans cet endroit depuis un moment. Je suis donc allée le jour de l'Action de Grâce à 12h30 & malgré la pluie & la motivation avec mon amie nous avons attendu 50 min dehors dans le froid à 2 degrés. Le personnel nous a motivé car on avait vu qu'il distribuait des minis pain au chocolat chaud. Nous avons eu une table pour 2 à 13h21 & le latte Bueno était un délice & les oeufs bénédictines au steak à cheval était très bon mais un peu trop salé à mon goût. Au delà de cette bonne expérience gustative, mon amie & moi avons été presque forcées de quitter la table alors que ça ne faisait même pas 1h que nous étions restées. Je trouve très dérangeant de perturber un moment agréable par la serveuse qui nous mettait pression de partir & de finir mon latte parce qu'il y'avait des gens qui attendaient. En plus on lui avait mis un très bon pourboire par solidarité de travailler un jour férié. Je trouve ça vraiment dommage & triste d'avoir été interrompue par cette pression de devoir quitter notre table alors qu'on avait à peine fini de manger. J'ai eu malheureusement cette impression d'être dans une usine à nourrir des bouches. En conclusion c'était très bon mais tellement triste d'avoir eu une mauvaise une expérience client.

Tucked away in a charming corner of Montreal, offers a brunch experience that transcends the ordinary. This cozy coffee shop exudes warmth & charm from the moment you step in, but it's the food that truly steals the show. Here, dishes are not merely meals-they are edible works of art. Each plate is a masterpiece, both visually stunning & bursting with flavor, delivering everything one could hope for in a leisurely weekend brunch. What sets Antipode apart is its playful creativity. The menu is full of unexpected pairings that somehow work beautifully, like the pistachio latte-a unique creation that, while a touch too sweet for my taste, was a delightful surprise. It's exactly the kind of imaginative twist that keeps you coming back for more. The dessert, however, was the undeniable highlight of the meal. The pain perdu-a glorious, indulgent take on French toast-was generously portioned, perfect for sharing, though I found it difficult to stop eating even when full. Its richness & comforting sweetness made for a perfect ending to a delightful meal. If you're looking to treat yourself on a lazy Saturday, Antipode is the place to be. Start with the eggs Benedict & a pistachio latte, then finish with the pain perdu for a sweet, satisfying finale. & do bring a friend-these generous portions are made to be shared, ensuring you both leave feeling content & in high spirits.
Love this brunch spot in Montreal, everything is so pretty & tasty. I tried pistachio latte & I loved it, also the pancake is highly recommended, it is crispy & very nice decorated, beautiful dish. & I liked the salmon guacamole Benedict too. Staffs are very friendly & caring as well. There was a line for 15-20 min wait but definitely worth it. Highly recommended
Pistachio & tiramisu latte are very unique. I think the tiramisu is better personally. The eggs benedicts were good, there isn't too much difference between all three choices since it's the same sauce. The mushroom > the jambon. The croque madame was a bit too heavy.
I ordered the salmon benedict. It came with their special green sauce instead of a hollandaise, guacamole & many edible flowers +greens. It was good, not amazing. Also got the matcha latte for 6.50$. It came in a smaller glass than expected at that price.

I got the salmon & guacamole eggs benedict. I didn't like the secret sauce at all & the salmon was very brand, needed more salt. the guacamole wasnt guacamole, it was just mashed avocado. it was very brand & had a strange taste although I gotta admit the presentation looked beautiful
We recently visited Antipode & tried a variety of dishes, including the Shakshuka, Croque Madame, Chicken Waffle, Burrata, & Mushroom Eggs Benedict. While the food tasted decent, it didn't quite meet our expectations, especially after standing in line for about an hour. The dishes were well-presented, but the flavors were just average & lacked that wow factor. For the time & effort it took to get a table, I was hoping for a more memorable dining experience. However, I must say their drinks were the highlight of our visit. The Espresso Martini was perfectly balanced, the Tiramisu Latte had a delightful hint of sweetness, & the Pistachio Latte was a unique & delicious treat. Overall, while the food was okay, the standout beverages were what made the visit worthwhile. In my opinion, Antipode is deserving of a 3-star rating-good drinks but not necessarily worth the long wait just for the food.
I recently visited Antipode & was really impressed with their food. The Benedict was absolutely delicious-perfectly cooked with generous portions that were both filling & savory. It's definitely something I'd recommend to anyone looking for a hearty & satisfying meal. The drinks were a bit of a mixed bag, though. The pistachio latte was great, with a nice, nutty flavor that complemented the meal well. However, the matcha latte could use some work-it was a bit underwhelming & didn't have the rich, smooth taste I was hoping for. Overall, a solid experience & I'd definitely come back for the Benedict!
J'ai récemment visité ce restaurant pour le déjeuner & je dois dire que l'expérience a été exceptionnelle. Les oeufs bénédictes aux champignons & à la truffe étaient préparés à la perfection, & le pain perdu au yuzu était tout simplement divin. Chaque bouchée était un véritable plaisir pour les papilles. Le décor du restaurant est également très beau, créant une atmosphère agréable pour profiter du repas. Le service était accueillant & attentionné, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable. Si j'avais eu plus de place, j'aurais sans hésiter commandé autre chose. Je reviendrai certainement pour goûter d'autres plats. Ce restaurant est devenu un de mes favoris!

Saumon fumé & guacamole 4/5 Benedict eggs with smoked salmon & guacamole. A refreshing taste. Croque Truffe 4.5/5 Ham & truffle cheese sandwich, quite good. Gaufre & Poulet 4.5/5 It tastes like Korean fried chicken. The flavor is delicious, but it's too common for us. Pain Perdu yuzu 3.5/5 The presentation is very nice, & the pear is quite special, but the taste is just okay. Latte Pistachio 5/5 Latte Tiramisu 4.5/5 Latte Lavande 3/5 The ambiance of the restaurant is particularly beautiful, with decor featuring elements of greenery & sculptures.
Excellent brunch spot with wide open windows for a hybrid indoor-outdoor experience. Atmosphere is really welcoming, with Greek-hellenistic & postmodern art on the walls & around. Service: excellent. Juliette, our waitress, was attentive & kind. She serviced us in both English & French, took our orders immediately & refilled water frequently. We went for noon on a Sunday, waited a out 35 minutes in line, not bad at all since this place is viral on social media. Drinks: Went for the tiramisu latte (cold) & pistachio latte (warm). Both live up to the hype. Food: passion fruit pancakes had super flavorful sauces, mix of yuzu passionfruit Jelly & hazelnut. The pancake itself was fluffy, but could be a bit more moist & buttery. The eggs Benedict with smoked salmon & guacamole was sublime. TDLR: definitely worth the hype. Delicious food & drinks. Not a long line up for the value. Worth it A+++
Première fois chez Antipode & ravis! Pendant que nous patientons dehors, on nous a proposé des mini pains au chocolat pour l'attente. Personnel très sympa, en particulier notre serveuse très gentille & souriante & qui a pris le temps de nous expliquer les plats. Le latte pistache est vraiment délicieux ainsi que les plats très savoureux, les portions généreuses & les goûts qui sortent de l'ordinaire. (J'ai pris les oeufs bénédictines truffes champignons & mon mari & mon amie gaufre poulet ils ont beaucoup aimé!). Le gérant du restaurant est très sympathique aussi. À refaire pour tester les croque monsieur.
Un de mes top 3 resto brunch incontournable. Je recommande les oeufs Bénédicte au saumon & le pain perdu qui sont succuuuuulents. Merci à Juliette, la serveuse, de son acceuil & ses recommandations. Il y a du monde, mais ça vaut le coup d'y aller. Que du bonheur !
