“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.
Un très bel endroit & bon service. On a prit un burger cordon bleu avec frite patate douce & des oeufs bénédictine au saumon fumé. Pour les boissons on a prit un latte Ubé & un latte Bueno. Tout était vraiment bon & très beau à la présentation. Je recommande 👍🏻
If you enjoy paying fine-dining prices for a plate of salt, this is the place for you. There was zero nuance in any of the dishes-just a flat, overpowering saltiness that ruined the entire meal. No dish had a'signature' or standout flavor. You're paying for the decor, because the kitchen certainly isn't delivering. A massive waste of money.
Great spot , Andre the cook has an energy that you need to experience. However, they don't have ginger. The food is bit too focused on being Instagram able instead of being delicious & nutritious. Don't get me wrong the coffee & the food were great but u know.. right..
Waited 15 minutes just to be told that all the tables were reserved, not one person came to notify us until we asked. Im not sure how the food is but the service was not good.

The food tasty, nice presentation, service mediocre u feel u r pulling a tooth. Am insta place if u r into it. Having reservation was great idea no wit time.
The food is pretty amazing. So much flavor. I didn't like the music - top 40.. very annoying. Might not bother people who aren't sensitive to music taste.
Très belle expérience ! Le service était excellent, le personnel très accueillant & attentionné. On se sent tout de suite à l'aise dès l'arrivée. La nourriture était délicieuse, bien présentée & pleine de saveurs. Je recommande vivement cet endroit & j'y retournerai avec plaisir !

Je recommande ++++ ! Le burger cordon bleu & la gaufre au poulet étaient incroyables, on reviendra sans aucun doute pour tester les plats sucrés qui avaient l'air dingues aussi 😍
Amazing food for a great value! The presentation is absolutely beautiful. We loved our food. The burger was a bit salty for me & a bit difficult to eat, but it was delicious nonetheless. The truffle fries are to die for! Also, the shakshuka was perfection. The lattes & cocktails are truly one of the main reasons to visit as they are delicious & beautiful to look at! We had reservations so there was no wait. Service was prompt & friendly & the atmosphere was inviting & nicely decorated. I would definitely recommend & return.
Un lieu idéal pour se retrouver entre amis autour de très bonnes assiettes & de très bons cocktails (mention spéciale pour l'Italien & l'Espresso Martini ;)
L'accueil & le service sont toujours au top !
