Une adresse parfaite pour savourer un brunch. Les portions sont vraiment généreuses, & les plats, en plus d'être délicieux, sont très bien décorés lorsqu'ils arrivent à la table.
Cela faisait longtemps que je n avais pas mangé un aussi bon brunch à MTL
Les plats sont très copieux, gourmands, & la déco est canon!
Mention spéciale pour le pain perdu & le ube, j'ai adoré !
Bravo Ludo , je reviens vite pour tester le reste de la carte car on a clairement envie de tout prendre !
Chez Antipode, quel doux épisode,
Un brunch parfait, sans la moindre fraude,
Des saveurs en danse, fines & équilibrées,
Chaque assiette un tableau, si bien orchestrée.
Les couleurs s'épousent, le goût fait écho,
A chaque bouchée, c'est un vrai crescendo.
Visuellement superbe, un festin pour les yeux,
& pour les papilles, un plaisir délicieux
Justine, au service, d'une grâce adorable,
Sourire sincère, attention remarquable.
Ses conseils avisés, discrets, bien choisis,
Ont sublimé ce moment d'appétit & d'envie.
Antipode vraiment je reviendrai sans doute.
Car ton brunch enchante & met le coeur en route.
Their elevated brunch was so good!
I think next time I would try another eggs Benedict since I find the mushrooms didn't work as well with the sauce. But still overall very delicious.
What blew me away was the pain perdu (French toast). It's not too sweet, amazing flavours & textures & different temperatures with the ice cream. Would definitely go back to have that dish again!
Had brunch here for 4 people. We had an amazing time! The coffee drinks were delicious & the food was amazing! Sweet drinks with savory meals, it was the perfect combination. Cute, charming, restaurant with chill vibes. Easy to make a reservation, seated right away, friendly & attentive staff. It is a MUST!
Les cafés sont super gourmands avec beaucoup de choix & les assiettes généreuses pour un prix raisonnable. Merci Ludo pour la belle expérience & le service top notch! 🫶🏼
