Antipode fonctionne comme une destination culinaire polyvalente alliant la culture café à la précision artisanale des petites assiettes. La cuisine privilégie des ingrédients de haute qualité sélectionnés pour leur profil aromatique et leur intégrité structurelle dans les préparations froides ou chaudes. Un accent particulier sur la production de boissons artisanales équilibre le menu composé d'assiettes à partager d'inspiration méditerranéenne et de breuvages caféinés complexes. L'environnement utilise une disposition architecturale délibérée pour favoriser une circulation fluide tout en maintenant une esthétique minimaliste dans tout l'espace. Les clients découvrent une carte ciblée où des composants simples et bruts subissent une transformation en portions raffinées conçues pour une consommation individuelle ou de groupe. L'établissement maintient une norme opérationnelle constante qui priorise la texture et l'assaisonnement de chaque élément proposé au menu permanent.
Antipode est largement reconnu pour ses plats esthétiques visuellement saisissants et ses lattés créatifs, qui constituent souvent un point fort pour les visiteurs. De nombreux clients apprécient les combinaisons de saveurs uniques et la qualité des ingrédients, citant fréquemment les œufs bénédictine, le pain doré et les boissons spécialisées comme des incontournables. Bien que l'atmosphère soit généralement décrite comme chaleureuse, chic et dynamique, le restaurant est extrêmement populaire, ce qui entraîne souvent de longues attentes et un environnement de salle restreint. Les avis sur les prix sont partagés, car certains clients estiment que les portions généreuses justifient le coût, tandis que d'autres trouvent l'addition élevée pour un brunch. Bien que la plupart des commentaires soulignent un service amical et attentionné, les expériences peuvent être inconstantes, avec des signalements occasionnels de lenteur, de plats servis tièdes ou d'un personnel pressé durant les heures de pointe.
Saumon fumé & guacamole 4/5 Benedict eggs with smoked salmon & guacamole. A refreshing taste. Croque Truffe 4.5/5 Ham & truffle cheese sandwich, quite good. Gaufre & Poulet 4.5/5 It tastes like Korean fried chicken. The flavor is delicious, but it's too common for us. Pain Perdu yuzu 3.5/5 The presentation is very nice, & the pear is quite special, but the taste is just okay. Latte Pistachio 5/5 Latte Tiramisu 4.5/5 Latte Lavande 3/5 The ambiance of the restaurant is particularly beautiful, with decor featuring elements of greenery & sculptures.
Excellent brunch spot with wide open windows for a hybrid indoor-outdoor experience. Atmosphere is really welcoming, with Greek-hellenistic & postmodern art on the walls & around. Service: excellent. Juliette, our waitress, was attentive & kind. She serviced us in both English & French, took our orders immediately & refilled water frequently. We went for noon on a Sunday, waited a out 35 minutes in line, not bad at all since this place is viral on social media. Drinks: Went for the tiramisu latte (cold) & pistachio latte (warm). Both live up to the hype. Food: passion fruit pancakes had super flavorful sauces, mix of yuzu passionfruit Jelly & hazelnut. The pancake itself was fluffy, but could be a bit more moist & buttery. The eggs Benedict with smoked salmon & guacamole was sublime. TDLR: definitely worth the hype. Delicious food & drinks. Not a long line up for the value. Worth it A+++

They do not take reservations, so a lengthy wait in line is to be expected on a weekend, but it's not too bad. Once our party of two was seated, the waiter took forever to come & take our order. We took the infamous "Cochon" lattes (pistachio & speculos) which were insanely expensive & overpriced (the most expensive latte I've ever had). They were not even worth it. The coffee wasn't even pistachio/biscoff flavored, only the rim of the glass!!! Terribly disappointing for 8,50$ ! Then we chose the pain perdu & the chicken & waffles for our main. The pain perdu was quite good, very much autumn flavors, & the chicken & waffles were decent. We waited a good 45 minutes for our coffees & main to come! Our waiter would tend to other tables a lot quicker than ours. Once we finally received the bill, they charged me 1$ extra for the pain perdu, which was 23$ on the menu. I was so disappointed that I did not want to leave any tip. Will not be returning!
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.
Came just for the pistachio latte & Croque Madame ! The truffle mushroom croque was a nice change but i definitely prefer the classic on a croissant ! Be prepared for outside lineup. Friendly customer service Bonus point for cheese skirts
Just like the other people who didn't get the hype of this place, appreciated the chocolatine that they offered. Food is good but doesn't blow your mind & definitely not worth 1.5h wait😅 There are some other places who have the same or better quality than this place for sure. Only the latte is instagrammable & quite good (if you like it thick bc of the pistachio paste) but that's it 😂
