“Three guys from the restaurant industry, sharing the same passion, met in a restaurant in Melbourne and a few years later decided to open their own place on the other side of the world: Montreal.”
This spot is the result of three visions combined, bringing together over 30 years of experience in the field. Through our menu and our restaurant, we want to offer you something unique. With our originality, we aim to contribute to Montreal’s vibrant dining scene.
Antipode offers a lively brunch scene with generous portions, beautiful presentation, and a menu that blends savory and sweet favorites like eggs Benedict, croque tartiflette, and shakshuka, plus standout pastries and a range of visually striking lattes and cocktails; the atmosphere is warm, cozy, and plant rich, making it easy to feel at home whether with friends or family; service is often described as friendly and attentive, with reservations recommended to avoid lines, though crowding can slow things down and long waits are sometimes noted during peak times; the kitchen is praised for flavorful, well balanced dishes and impressive desserts such as pistachio cheesecake and the iconic pain perdu, while a few critiques mention excessive salt or dishes that lean toward style over nuance and a few comments about music or pace not to everyone's taste; overall, Antipode is regarded as a top Montreal brunch spot with a vibrant, Instagrammable ambiance and dependable food and drinks that make many guests eager to return.
J'ai adoré mon expérience chez Antipode. Service impeccable (Ludo est génial comme serveur & mon latté (P'tit beurre) était le meilleur que j'ai bu de ma vie. J'ai aussi bien aimé le'Dorian Grey', un excellent cocktail pour accompagner le déjeuner.
Pour manger, je recommande le croque tartiflette. Excellent.
Nous sommes venus à 5 & nous avons passé un moment agréable, le service nous a bien conseillé, & le brunch était excellent. Je recommande fortement pour un brunch de qualité !!
Extra! Super service, super déco! Bouffe vraiment bonne beaucoup de choix c'est original des prix corrects, on a de l'espace entre les tables c'est agréable de pas être collé à ses voisins de tables 😊. Je recommande & j'y retournerai!
After a quick search on TikTok I saw that this place was one of (if not the best place) for brunch in Montreal. We went to the St-Laurent location. The drinks were beautiful with so many to choose from for both coffee & non-coffee drinkers. The food was also so delicious with large portion sizes. I was full until dinner time. Lastly, the service & the atmosphere & decor were stunning. Would highly recommend this place when visiting Montreal!
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!
(PS we provided the cake, not the restaurant).

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!
