"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 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.
I appreciate that the menu diverges from standard brunch offerings & demonstrates a willingness to experiment beyond familiar conventions.
The tiramisu latte was enjoyable overall; however, the espresso notes lacked sufficient intensity to fully anchor the beverage. More generally, some dishes would benefit from greater balance in flavor profiles. The yuzu pain doré, while initially appealing, became overly sweet after several bites, evoking the sensory fatigue associated with excessive sugar. In contrast, the beurre noisette with merguez skewed slightly too acidic for my palate. Service was somewhat slow, though this would not deter me from returning.

We were looking for a spontaneous date day to have brunch & after few research found this place. Decided to give it a try as the menu seemed interesting & prices seemed reasonable for brunch. The tiramisu latte looked delicious as well. We ordered & waited 45 mins for our food. They brought out the truffle fries we had ordered & at this point we were starving & devoured the fries. When the food finally came out we were no longer hungry. We took 3 bites & brought the rest to go. It was unfortunate that they were short in the kitchen that day therefore considered all before giving this rating. Great staff, food, & atmosphere regardless.
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.
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!
This place is a 5 stars!

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!
Went here twice already, last time was last year. It was trendy back then, the line was long & waited 2 hours. A year later, they held up with their quality of food & service & the line is still so long till the hour they're supposed to close. I got the chicken waffle (best thing ever) with their iconic tiramisu latte, & also tried their nutella & pistachio latte which are amazing as well. Definitely a must try bruch in montreal
Mon nouveau spot de brunch préféré! Le repas était succulent! Des portions généreuses & une bonne atmosphère! Le serveur, je pense qu'il s'appelle Alex, a été très gentil & agréable. J'ai pris des oeufs bénédictines saumon & avocat avec un latté tiramisu. Mon mari a pris les gaufres avec poulet. Tout était délicieux & savoureux. J'ai hâte d'y retourner essayer le reste du menu.
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.

C'était délicieux ! Le latte tiramisu n'est pas trop sucré étonnamment! J'ai pris le croque madame & j'aurais pu facilement le partager, mais c'était trop bon alors je l'ai fini.
This is a great brunch spot in this area of Montreal! There is always a line though, we went at 1:30 pm & we had to wait for 30 minutes for a seat so I suggest to go early. Other than this, the attention is great, it is a small & cozy place, it looks kind of crowded but thats the vibe.
Food is amazing, can't go wrong with anything, favorite was the tiramisu latte!
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!
J'y suis allée avec une amie lors d'une journée assez froide. Lors de notre arrivée, le serveur nous demande si c'est pour 1 personne, alors que clairement mon amie m'accompagne. Ensuite, il nous ferme la porte & nous dit que ça ne sera pas long. Lorsqu'il revient, il nous pointe la table à laquelle nous asseoir. Il ne prends pas la peine de nous escorter. Par la suite je prends mon verre d'eau (déjà rempli?) & j'ai l'impression d'y voir des insectes donc je demande au serveur un nouveau verre, il devient soudainement irrité & me dit que ce ne sont pas des bestioles. De plus, notre table ballotait grandement & je voulais lui demander si c'était possible de la mettre à niveau mais je n'ai pas eu le temps puisqu'il n'écoutait pas. Quand il a pris nos commandes, il semblait avoir survécu à une guerre civile… ce fut un des services les plus déplorables & désagréables pour moi à ce jour. Il n'est jamais venu nous voir pour nous offrir de l'eau de plus ou si tous les plats étaient à notre goût. Autrement, les repas étaient très bons & innovants. J'ai pris le Pain Perdu salé au bacon avec le Latte Tiramisu & mon amie a mangé le Croque Madame & un Latte Bueno. C'était délicieux mais nous n'y retournerons malheureusement pas car le service était vraiment décevant. Dommage, car j'ai pu découvrir un bon nouvel endroit. C'est juste vraiment triste de nous avoir reçues de la sorte.

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!
Pistachio & tiramisu latte are very unique. I think the tiramisu is better personally. The eggs benedicts were good, there isn't too much difference between all three choices since it's the same sauce. The mushroom > the jambon. The croque madame was a bit too heavy.
We recently visited Antipode & tried a variety of dishes, including the Shakshuka, Croque Madame, Chicken Waffle, Burrata, & Mushroom Eggs Benedict. While the food tasted decent, it didn't quite meet our expectations, especially after standing in line for about an hour. The dishes were well-presented, but the flavors were just average & lacked that wow factor. For the time & effort it took to get a table, I was hoping for a more memorable dining experience. However, I must say their drinks were the highlight of our visit. The Espresso Martini was perfectly balanced, the Tiramisu Latte had a delightful hint of sweetness, & the Pistachio Latte was a unique & delicious treat. Overall, while the food was okay, the standout beverages were what made the visit worthwhile. In my opinion, Antipode is deserving of a 3-star rating-good drinks but not necessarily worth the long wait just for the food.
This spot doesn't take reservations, so you might have to wait in line before being seated, but it's absolutely worth it. The food is a true work of art-creamy, rich, & bursting with flavor. The lattes, whether pistachio or tiramisu, are a must-try. A special thanks to Mathieu & Juliette for their warm smiles & impeccable service. The only downside is that it can get a bit uncomfortable indoors on hot, humid days. Nonetheless, I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in Montréal!
