"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.
The atmosphere is quite cozy with the greenery & the wooden interior design. It really soothes you seeing all that which makes the dining experience much better. The service was friendly but throughout the meal, I don't remember seeing any of the waiters or waitresses smile. They were quite polite though. The food itself was so pretty. It felt a bit wrong biting into the food or drinking the lattes but it tasted quite nice! I really enjoyed the flavour profiles, they really complemented each other. The portions were quite big as well. The price looks intimidating, around 25$ for a plate, but the portions were almost enough for 2, especially if you are having a latte on the side.
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

Very tasty brunch! Lots of unique menu items, with all of them looking gorgeous. It's rare to see such the flavor matching pretty plates, & the same goes for their drinks.
Nice brunch, although it is on the more expensive side
100% worth it! To be honest, I came sceptical thinking that it could be another Instagram trap & I am glad I was wrong! We waited a bit in line, but the service was pretty good & drink & food came pretty fast. Talking about food, the portion size was big (I could eat just half of it) & it was deliciouuusss!!! Just try it!!
I found this restaurant through Instagram since it's very hyped. & I get it-the plates are super Instagrammable. But when it comes to trying the food in real life, it was good, just nothing phenomenal. Personally, I prefer L'Avenue by far.
The drinks were okay, nothing special, & I probably wouldn't go back.
We went during the summer, & because of their open-terrace concept, it was extremely hot inside. They had two fans running, but it still wasn't enough to cool the space for everyone.
Highly instagrammable cafe with tasty brunch options & aesthetic drinks.
Food was delicious, with interesting middle eastern hint of flavours. I love that there were so many options for breakfast/brunch. The beverages look majestic.
In my opinion, the prices were a little overpriced for the quality, but the food was quite flavourful.
The only negative point, is the waiting list outside the restaurant. The queues can get really long. My friends & I waited 20 mins.

This is my absolute favourite brunch spot in Montreal! The food & drinks are all delicious, with unique flavour combinations, & the space is super cosy.
The dishes come out at a reasonable speed & the staff are always polite & friendly! Huge shoutout to the servers who bore through me trying to speak French & even offered me tips to improve :) I'm currently learning the language & I truly appreciate it when people let me practice with them.
I highly recommend the yuzu pain perdu, beurre noisette saumon, pistachio latte, & matcha latte. & a tip, if you're going on a weekend, make sure you arrive early, because it gets quite busy & wait times can be long!
Got there at 10am on a Sunday & there was no line (group of 4). By the time 12pm rolled around, there was already a line forming. Amazing food, drinks & service. The yuzu french toast is a must get!

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.
Mid brunch at a nice location. I had the croque madame (popular) & surprisingly it was filling.
For the lattes we went tiramisu (the best imo) & pistachios (would not buy again). Please note that if you buy the cold version of the drink you don't get the gorgeous design on your drink. The waitress had not informed us of that & when we realized after seeing what the other table had gotten, it was already too late as she found out the drinks were sitting at the counter for a bit.
Getting the food took way too long. We're talking 20 minutes. The drinks also came late. Our table was extremely wobbly to the extent that I was afraid it would knock down our glass water bottle.
Great place for brunch! The food looks amazing & tastes even better. We had the salmon Benedict, shakshuka, croque madame, & the special pain perdu. The drinks, especially the tiramisu & Bueno lattes, were delicious. Service was great - a small delay in drinks, but the manager offered us a complimentary cocktail. Highly recommend!
Heard a lot of buzz about this place, so I finally went for brunch one afternoon. The seating is a little cramped & not ideal for kids, if you ask me. I always like places with a small menu, so they can nail everything they make. The food was alright, & the drinks looked cool. We got a bunch of drinks, & they all tasted pretty unique, which was a surprise. The fried chicken was a bit overcooked & the meat on the eggs benedict was a bit dry, but not deal breakers. It's worth checking out if you're in the area, but there are some other good spots around there too. P.S.: Expect to stand in line for a bit to get in if you cannot make it the first hour of when it opens.

We're happy that the food was good because the wait for a table was very long. Happy we got to try it once cause the photos of the food & drink look so good, but I would only go back on a weekday & hope the wait times are shorter.
I tried the Oeufs Beurre Noisette with Merguez & it was absolutely delicious. Every bite was a flavour bomb. The varying textures of the soft poached eggs, the crunchy nuts & the crispy-soft falafels takes this dish to the next level.
The drinks are pretty instagrammable but not that good (or maybe I didn't order a good one)
