"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.
Antipode est largement salué comme une adresse de brunch remarquable, avec des plats visuellement saisissants et une carte créative parfois audacieuse. Les boissons, notamment les lattés pistache et tiramisu, sont fréquemment mises en avant comme des pièces maîtresses tant au niveau du goût que de l'apparence, tandis que les plats principaux vont du croque tartiflette et brisket eggs Benedict au shakshouka et au pain perdu yuzu, avec des portions généreuses qui justifient le prix élevé. L'ambiance est décrite comme chic, cosy et instagrammable, mais l'espace peut être bondé et les files d'attente le week-end sont courantes, sans réservations et avec des délais d'attente qui peuvent être longs aux heures de pointe. Le service est souvent attentif et sympathique, mais les expériences varient, certains signalant une lenteur, des sourires intermittents ou un rythme pressé en période d'affluence. Dans l'ensemble, Antipode est apprécié pour la qualité, l'originalité et la présentation, ce qui en fait une adresse incontournable pour un brunch mémorable malgré le prix et les éventuels problèmes d'accessibilité.
This is a must visit! Mother, aunt & I had brunch. Best cappuccino, coffee is flavourful & reasonable price. Portions are the perfect size. We were full leaving. Staff are friendly & attentive. We will be back again!
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

We enjoyed brunch here overall. The pain doré yuzu was really good, the sweetness from the bread was balanced out nicely by the sourness from the dipping, but it's too sweet to finish on its own. I loved the merguez though, especially when you mix everything together with the yogurt base, sauces, & poached eggs.
My only real complaints: the coffee tasted more like syrup & milk with a bit coffee flavor than actual latte.. & the tip options start at 17%… just something to keep in mind.
Recommend their specialty coffee & drinks, taste fresh & rich. The food, not my style, mixed too much different ingredients, styles & cultures & ends up as neither tasty nor quality. We had high expectation, but the food only looks good. Disappointed.
The french toast was out of this world! The salmon egg benedict was a bit too salty.
I would come back just for the french toast honestly.
The service was okay, not the best, & I feel like ice in water should be custom, especially in the summer.
The biscoff latte was delicious, although not really strong in coffee.
Overall nice experience, i would need to try other stuff on their menu to see if this place is overrated.
One thing for sure is it is kind of expensive, but brunch in mtl usually is.
Great food & coffee, the pistachio latte is amazing! The down side is waiting in line, waiting & waiting & waiting for the food, service is rushed & not the best.
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 😍
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.

The food & service were absolutely outstanding! We especially loved the variety of coffees on offer. Highly recommend trying the chicken & waffles - they were fantastic!
Worth the Wait & Exceeded Expectations! After three unsuccessful attempts due to the long lines, I finally got the chance to try this spot on a mid-day Friday-no line, & it was absolutely worth the wait! I had high expectations from everything I had seen online, & somehow, they still managed to surpass them. The fun coffee creations were delicious, & the food was incredibly unique, with bold & unmatched flavors that made every bite memorable. I only wish I lived closer so I could come back more often! If you're in Montreal, this place is a must-visit.

This place is amazing ! I recommend going between 9am & 10am since it's rather empty & you'll be able to enjoy your meal without a huge crowd. It gets super busy enough to have people waiting outside after 10 & honestly it's not the best, feeling rushed to eat & it being super loud. The food is really good! They have amazing specialty coffees & their shakshouka is to die for !
The best place for a Coffee, Drink & Snack in town! Especially if you're looking for the'instgramable' effect in everything - from the vibe, to the drinks & food. It was visible that everyone behind the counter was putting in the effort to design every plate with attention to detail. The mini french toast was a great finisher & the Croque Madame was a clear winner! There was simply so much going on with a simple coffee, all we could say was Wow. Best of all, everything for fairly priced.
I had this place earmarked for visit for a few months now, & made my way finally last week. This place is right on Laurier avenue & hard to miss from the street as there is always a queue up outside. The good thing: they give freshly bakes hot chocolatines to all waiting. The restaurant has a Greco-Mediterranean decor with a central bar & seating all around it. The place somewhat feels a little crowded, which is why I am docking one star, along with the fact that, for such a popular place, they don't take reservations. It is painful having to stand out in the cold for 90 minutes. The food & the coffee make the wait worth it though. They were all delicious & the service was reasonably prompt.
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!
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!
