“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.

Une incroyable surprise! On est venu pour les latte & on est sorti epoustouffle par la qualite des plats! Nous etions 8 & il n'y a pas 1 plat qui nous a laisse indifferent! Que ce soit le gauffre & poulet, les oeufs beurre noisette, la chakchouka, le croque madame ou le burger tout fut delicieux! & les fameux latte ne nous ont pas non plus decus! & que dire du service… une equipe chaleureuse, bienveillante!!!! Malheureusement, les portions etaient tellement genereuses qu'on n'a malheureusement pas eu de place pour deguster les options sucrees! Mais ca nous donne une belle excuse pour y retourner rapidement!!!!! Un vrai coup de coeur pour toute ma famille!
L'excellence du brunch! On a commencé par un surprenant ube latte d'une délicate couleur mauve, suivi d'oeufs beurre noisette haut en saveurs. Il était tellement bien servi qu'on n'a pu le terminer.
Tout comme l'Antipode sur Laurier, le menu est riche & diversifié! Sucré/ salé & une multitude des cocktails & cafés signatures. Un délice pour les yeux & papilles gustatives!!!
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).

Très heureuse d'avoir découvert cette nouvelle adresse lors de mon dernier passage à Montréal ! Rien à redire, aussi bien sur les plats que sur l'accueil. & gros plus pour la possibilité de réserver !
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 !
