"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.
I ordered a pistachio latte, it served not that much similar to the advertised photos, I expected proper time consider for preparation & pay attention to details for an art cafe
I also did not like the taste
The atmosphere of the cafe was good
Everything about our visit felt pleasant & easygoing. The ordering process was simple, the staff were kind & attentive, & the food exceeded expectations. The atmosphere also created a really enjoyable dining experience. I'd come back again soon.

Comme c'était en semaine au moins je n'ai pas attendu du tout pour avoir une table & le service était bon même si des gens arrivés après nous ont commandé avant nous.
La nourriture était bonne & les lattes tous très originaux mais c'est vraiment cher, de plus j'ai eu la mauvaise surprise de trouver une sauce à la cannelle dans mon croque Madame, quelle horreur, heureusement c'était juste sur le côté de l'assiette!
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!
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 $8.50
I think the service in this place is super slow. Food was good, drinks were interesting. I wouldn't mind coming back again for other items, as everything looked so aesthetic.
Jai pris un croque tartiflette & serieux pour 27$ on attendrait d'avoir une accompagnement inclus comme de la salade ou des crudités, & le jus d'orange minute maid serieux pour une place avec cette réputation pas tip top comme qualité. La réputation est overrated honestly & overpricing.
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 born & raised in this city, I've seen it all in Montréal. However, Antipode Laurier definitely brings something unique to this city's brunch scene. If you're looking for a'one-time' bucket list brunch that will make your followers jealous, this is it!
The Atmosphere & Service:
We arrived at 11:00 AM on a Saturday & were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately (party of 3 people). The décor feels incredibly authentic & curated, creating a vibe that is upscale yet cozy. The service was 10/10; attentive, professional, & fast!
The Food:
The dishes here aren't just food; they are art.
• The Lattes: The blue & pink lattes are showstoppers. Not just pretty, the floral & earthy notes were perfectly balanced.
• The Mains: You can taste the complexity in every bite. Whether it's the smoked salmon on brioche or the savory waffles, the flavor profiles are layered & sophisticated. They aren't playing it safe here, & I appreciate that.
The'But' (The Price Tag 💸):
Here is the honest truth: the pricing is significantly higher than other top-tier brunch spots in the city offering similar quality. While the food is great, the'Brunch Tax' here is real.
The Verdict:
• Would I go back? Probably not, given the price point.
• Do I recommend it? YES-100% at least once. You have to experience the presentation & the vibe at least once. It's a 5-star experience with a 3-star price tag!
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.
It was super, I loved it, the place is located in an ancient building but is charming, the attention was good & the food was really good, well presented & the most important delicious.
The lattes & food were amazing!! Loved the lattes & both meals we got. It's quite a decent amount of food too! The server was maybe having a bad day because they weren't very friendly.
Très déçu de mon expérience chez Antipode.
Nous étions trois personnes & avions terminé de manger, mais étions encore assis pour discuter lorsqu'on nous a gentiment demandé de quitter parce que des gens attendaient. En réalité, il n'y avait que trois personnes en attente.
Même si la demande a été faite poliment, rien n'indique nulle part qu'il existe une limite de temps ou une obligation de quitter une fois le repas terminé. En tant que client, on s'attend à pouvoir rester raisonnablement installé, surtout lorsqu'aucune règle n'est annoncée à l'avance.
Il faisait près de -30°C à l'extérieur & nous étions en pleine discussion émotionnellement chargée. Dans ce contexte, nous demander de partir sans avertissement ni alternative démontre un manque de considération & d'empathie.

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.
La leilleure place de brunch de Montreal. Jaurais aime tout essayer. Les latte sont au top & la presentation des plats impeccable. Une belle adresse du plateau.
The dishes are Instagram-ready, beautifully plated & very appealing visually. Unfortunately, the flavors didn't quite match the presentation. The mushroom & truffle Benedict was overly salty, & the Choco Bounty latte was far too sweet. The tiramisu latte was decent, though the flavor could have been a bit more pronounced. Overall, it felt like the focus was more on aesthetics than on the quality of the food itself.
Service was also quite slow, especially considering there weren't many customers when we arrived. It makes me wonder how long the wait might be during peak hours.
One thing to note: 17% + tips is added by default.
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
