Visually everything was beautiful. As a culinary experience on the pallet we found both the drinks & food fell a little short. For the hype & high prices I suppose we were expecting complex flavours & some'wow' experiences & instead we got more of a flat'eh, it was okay'. That might be on us though, maybe the drinks saturated our pallet, or maybe we'd have been more enticed by some of the other plates on the menu. We'd also probably have had lower expectations if the prices were more average (maybe's it's the beautiful visuals we should be focused on). Overall though; visually great & still enjoyable enough food - it tasted well enough to land an'it was okay' thumbs up. Friendly staff. Only real drawback is high price didn't quite feel aligned. Worth checking out

We had a reservation, so thankfully there was no waiting time. However, I was slightly disappointed with the table we were given. Since we had made a reservation, I was hoping for a somewhat nicer table. I'm also not sure if this is the restaurant's standard policy, but we were informed that our table was available for two hours. I completely understand if this is part of the restaurant's usual practice, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

We started with the extra-hot matcha lattes. The presentation was absolutely adorable, & I really appreciated the attention to detail. Unfortunately, both drinks were served more lukewarm than hot, despite having requested them extra hot.

We also tried the pistachio-almond cocktails. The presentation was lovely, although the almond flavor was quite dominant for my taste.

For brunch, we ordered a Croque Madame, two eggs Benedict (brisket & mushroom), & the yuzu French toast. The dishes were beautifully presented, but unfortunately, they were also served lukewarm.

On the positive side, we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The restaurant was clean, pleasant, & nicely decorated, & the staff were quite friendly & welcoming.

Our total came to around $200, including the tip. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, & there were definitely some things we enjoyed. However, given the price & our experience with the temperature of both the drinks & food, I'm not sure it would be enough for me to return for a second visit.

Super expérience chez Antipode sur St-Laurent ! Nous avons partagé deux plats savoureux, bien présentés & pleins de goût. Tout était frais & vraiment délicieux. Nous avons aussi partagé un drink, parfait pour accompagner le repas.

Une belle ambiance brunch & un service agréable. On a passé un très bon moment & on reviendra sans hésiter !

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!

Cute, charming, restaurant with chill vibes. Easy to make a reservation, seated right away, friendly & attentive staff. It is a MUST!

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
