"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.
Can't leave Montreal without having brunch! I haven't had good brunch outside of Montreal actually lol, & idk why. I chose a new place to dine in this time instead of the places I usually go to (L'Avenue, Le Passé Composé, etc.). The interior was artistic & had Renaissance art, such as the Statue of David). I ordered:
Croque Madame $20 Egg, ham & bacon, on croissant
Pistachio Latte $8.50
I think the service in this place is super slow. Food was good, drinks were interesting. I wouldn't mind coming back again for other items, as everything looked so aesthetic.
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 food here tastes as good as it looks, & thats saying a lot since its among the most aesthetic restaurant food I have ever ordered. As seen in the pictures the lattes are insanely beautiful & im inspired to try this for myself. The pistachio latte in particular was delicious!
For the food, the smoked salmon poached eggs are my favorite poached eggs ive had, probably because I think the avocado béarnaise sauce is such a great idea. The flowers to garnish were so pretty. The truffle fries were so good (& huge), as was the shakshuka. The pictures of the yuzu french toast speak for itself, seriously an impressive presentation.
The pistachio cheesecake was a lovely dessert with an inventive touch of balsamic flavor.
Our waitress was very helpful-whether you are a tiktok influencer or not you wont be disappointed at Antipode.
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.
Came here for brunch. I had the pistachio latte which I loved. It looks beautiful & tastes just as good. I also had the mushroom Eggs Bénédictine. It was good but I think I prefer the salmon one. This one was just too mushroomy.
The chai latte was good, but too sweet tho. The eggs Benedict sauce was different, & the amount of steak was decent. The chicken was crispy for the chicken & waffle with good flavours. The service was fast, & the staff were kind. Line up can get long quick depending what days you go for brunch.

Definitely the place to be!
If you are looking for a great brunch place with high quality taste & creative culinary, this is the place to be.
Ive been here several times & so far no other place beats it!!
Their specialties are the Benedicts & the lattés (but also everything else is super good & special)
I recommend taking any of the egg benedict choices & the bueno latte (hot) & the tiramisu latte (frappe)
So far we ve tried the Benedicts, the shakshouka, the croque mr & croque mme & different lattes. Everything is super good. There is definitely no disappointment in this place.
The service is remarkable!! The staff is always smiling, happy & super nice!!
Even when the place is overly crowded they will make sure to accommodate all your needs & make sure you're hapoy & satisfied! They would never accept you leaving unhappy for anythg!
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.
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.
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)
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.
Absolutely delicious!!! The pistachio latte is a must! Still dreaming about it. Our order was as followed: a lavender matcha & pistachio latte, for food we got the mushroom truffle eggs benedict & the pain perdu yuzu!
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..

Their latte selection is impressive, offering unique flavors that go beyond the usual options. I tried both the pistachio & tiramisu lattes-while the tiramisu was my favorite, it was a bit too sweet for my taste.
Food-wise, the eggplant nuggets were a delightful surprise-crispy, flavorful, & addictive. I'm used to a traditional shakshouka dish, this was their own take on the recipe, which was delicious but not what I expected.
Overall, Antipode is a great spot for those who appreciate creative lattes & delicious, well-crafted dishes in a cozy setting. Definitely worth a visit!
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!
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!
