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!

Antipode is absurd. Everything I ate was exceptionally well done & unique. The atmosphere/aesthetic is intentional & warm. Oh, did I mention the food? I have an issue where if I love the food I'm eating, I'll tear up. Embarrassing. It happened here.
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!
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! 🫶🏼

This location takes reservations, making it not only delightful but also effortlessly accessible-a huge plus!
The vibrant ambiance & beautiful decor wowed us from the get-go. We began with the chakchouka merguez, a hearty & satisfying dish that stood beautifully on its own.
Next, we were captivated by the colourful waffle topped with succulent chicken. It was as visually stunning as it was delicious, with a very balanced touch of spice.
To drink, a remarkable tiramisu latte, basically a liquid dessert. The layers of coffee & cream were artfully blended in a decadently rich creation.
We also had the Ube latte, which was every bit as good as we expected it to be.
For dessert, the Yuzu Pain Perdu-an unforgettable creation that dazzled us with its intricate flavors. The combination of sweet & tangy yuzu was wonderful.
Every aspect of our brunch was a reminder of why we cherish this restaurant. With its creative dishes, decadent lattes, & irresistible desserts
