Had an amazing experience at Antipodes for a birthday brunch! The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, making it feel like home. The service was top-notch, attentive & friendly throughout. We had a minor issue with one of the plates, but the owner handled it with such grace & kindness, which truly made a difference. To top it off, when it was time for the cake, the other customers joined in & we all sang together. Such a memorable experience. Highly recommend this spot for great food & exceptional service!
The food is delicious & the service is excellent. Their brunch options are great, & the presentation of each dish is outstanding. I definitely recommend this place! 🙌✨

Des boissons aux plats, tout est original, très bien présenté & vraiment copieux. Le décor est cosy & la belle végétation apporte une atmosphère apaisante. Le service, quant à lui, est impeccable !
I first went to the one on Laurier & it was already very good so I had to try the new location. It did not disappoint, very beautiful & cozy decor (very warm & earthy). The food & lattes were delicious. The is a lineup so arrive before 10:30 (max 11) otherwise you will probably wait outside. But it's worth it! The first time I had the eggs Benedict with ham & the second time I had the chackchoukas merguez with the latte speculos & espresso martini. Highly recommend, my top 3 brunch spots on Montreal!
Une expérience déjeuner moderne, chaleureuse & délicieuse!
Le Déjeuner Antipode est un véritable coup de coeur! Dès l'entrée, on est charmé par l'ambiance très chaleureuse & la décoration moderne & invitante. C'est l'endroit parfait pour commencer la journée du bon pied.
Nous avons débuté avec les aubergines croustillantes en entrée, & quelle surprise! La panure était parfaitement croustillante à l'extérieur, contrastant magnifiquement avec la texture très molle & fondante à l'intérieur. C'est un plat inattendu qui vaut le détour!
En plats principaux, j'ai opté pour les oeufs bénédictine guacamole & saumon. Un délice absolu! Le saumon était très frais & l'assiette débordait de saveurs. Ma copine a choisi la chakchouka à la merguez, une poêlée également excellente & très savoureuse.
L'expérience a été complétée par d'excellents cafés. Ils offrent une très grande liste de cafés spéciaux qui plaira à tous les amateurs.
Un point fort à souligner est la présentation des assiettes, qui était aussi belle que le bon goût. On sent l'attention portée aux détails.
Je recommande à tous les gens qui désirent un déjeuner différent, savoureux & dans un cadre très agréable. Bravo à toute l'équipe!
Loved the service & the food here! We were able to bring our own cake without extra cost, the waiter was so patient with my friends & I! We had no idea the restaurant closes at 3pm, & we were just talking & laughing until 4:20pm. No one rushed us whatsoever! The prices are also very good for the quality & quantity of food! Could not recommend enough! Shoutout to our waiter!
