"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 brunch spot is incredibly popular. Been waiting to try this place with my sister for a while & we weren't disappointed! Since we went on a Saturday lunch, we had to wait for around 20 minutes (not long compared to other people waiting more than an hour). They were so friendly & thoughtful, even offered me & my sister a table with good views & lighting since it was pretty obvious that we girls would love to take nice photos here. The food was unbelievably delicious - the best brunch we've had in Montreal. The drinks were cute, delicate & good pairing with the food we ordered as well.

They have good food & drinks selection. However, it took so long before we got the food. We arrived before everyone else got there so we didn't have to wait in line. When we sat, there was a long wait already. 2 people in our group got the poke bowl & it was just okay. The coffee options were really good. The chai latter was amazing too! The korean wings was great!
I think people have brainwashed themselves into thinking this is a good brunch spot.. Week after week I see lineups at this place of these influencers all dressed up waiting to get in. Luckily, I was able to get a table right away & it proceeded to take 2 hours from start to finish to get our drinks & food. Is it because the place is so sought after or is it because the service is so slow? The pistachio latte is beautiful so if you want to take a pretty picture for Instagram, it's great.. but take away the crusted glass rim & it's a pretty mediocre coffee. The eggs Benedict was nothing to write home about & at 24$ with no side you can get better elsewhere. We also tried their pain perdu which was really good at first but it gets really sweet, real fast. Beautiful decor & ambience but at over 100$ for 2 ppl for brunch, it's a little too pretentious for my palette.
Tbh not worth waiting in the rain for an hour. Just to get a cute pic of the drinks & food, which were mediocre for its price. The inside of the restaurant was HUMID (didn't help that we were packed like sardines in there). My friend had ordered a chicken & waffle dish, which she had found hair in. When receiving the bill, she kindly notified the waiter (even letting him know that the food was good) which he shrugged off & didn't bother to apologize.
Very aesthetically pleasing place, but that's all it is. Food was well done but not worth the price point & the drinks were mediocre at best. Service was slow though our server was really nice.

Incredible food! The atmosphere is gorgeous & unique. The food & drinks have so much thought put into them & are equally as delicious. They seemed to be understaffed as the service was lacking but I will be back!
My friend & i shared the yuzu dish which had a really unique taste & chicken & waffles, which was especially good. For drinks, we had the tiramisu latte which was out of this world. The taste & presentation was 10/10 & I've recommended it to all of my friends ever since - all of whom visited & loved it as well. Would definitely love to go back to try the latte again & the mushroom truffle benedict
The food was pretty good! I got the pain perdu & my friend ordered the croque monsieur. I love how there was burnt/melted cheese at the bottom! It gave the dish a nice crunch. My pain perdu had some yuzu on the sides (the dots) & it was really filling! We didn't end up finishing everything but it was delicious. I took a star off bc I got a rose latte & it was so chunky I had 2 sips & abandoned it! My friend got the pistachio latte & thoroughly enjoyed her drink. Cute decor, I can see why it's a popular spot in Montreal
We went for brunch early during a weekday, no waiting in line, a lot of empty tables. Tables are very close together. High ceiling, plenty of light, a lot of plugs so I guess students & remote workers are welcome when it is not busy. "Cute" decor, very social media / influencer type of decot. This is why it's so popular these days. Food was the dealbreaker for us. I ordered the Nutella smarties drink, flavour-wise it was quite weak, yes it has Nutella & smarties around the rim, cute for the photo but that's about it. I ordered the Croque Tartiflette, the tomato & pepper puree as base (I guess from the Chakchouka?) kills the rest of the flavours... the Tartiflette in the name is totally misleading. One of us unfortunately found a hair on their plate. Obviously, this changed the vibe for the occasion. Waitress offered the person a discount & a free drink, which was declined... when this happens most people won't want to try anything else from the menu 🤷🏼♀️... It could have been handled better It's overpriced. Parking in the area is really difficult.

As much as the service was quite disappointing (free tables yet they don't seat anyone, food waiting to be served yet they're too busy prepping empty tables) the food on the other hand WAS AMAZING. A meticulous & unprecedented mix of flavours. The drinks as well as the food were very original. Definitely recommend if you're a small group & you have time on your hands!
