Great place for brunch. A bit on the expensive side.

The food here tastes as good as it looks, and thats saying a lot since its among the most aesthetic restaurant food I have ever ordered. As seen in the pictures the lattes are insanely beautiful and im inspired to try this for myself. The pistachio latte in particular was delicious!

For the food, the smoked salmon poached eggs are my favorite poached eggs ive had, probably because I think the avocado béarnaise sauce is such a great idea. The flowers to garnish were so pretty. The truffle fries were so good (and huge), as was the shakshuka. The pictures of the yuzu french toast speak for itself, seriously an impressive presentation.

The pistachio cheesecake was a lovely dessert with an inventive touch of balsamic flavor.

Our waitress was very helpful—whether you are a tiktok influencer or not you wont be disappointed at Antipode.

The dishes are Instagram-ready, beautifully plated and very appealing visually. Unfortunately, the flavors didn’t quite match the presentation. The mushroom and truffle Benedict was overly salty, and the Choco Bounty latte was far too sweet. The tiramisu latte was decent, though the flavor could have been a bit more pronounced. Overall, it felt like the focus was more on aesthetics than on the quality of the food itself.

Service was also quite slow, especially considering there weren’t many customers when we arrived. It makes me wonder how long the wait might be during peak hours.

One thing to note: 17% + tips is added by default.

The positive sides were drinks and service. Their themed lattes are spot on. Not too sweet and still can taste coffee itself. Service was welcoming and took care of my partner’s allergy request.
However, once we received our food, our enthusiasm has sunk. I ordered croque tartiflette and honestly I don’t understand how anyone can enjoy 2 pieces of bread sprinkled by some bacon and covered by some cheddar while paying over 30$ for it including tax and tips. I guess some people do. My fault to order that. Arrived cold.
My partner ordered truffle and champignons Benedict. Came stone cold. The green sause tasted straight up as a fish. There was no even a hint to taste any truffle since that fish taste overshadows anything on the plate.
In conclusion, will probably come back to get a take out for a coffee. In terms of food, it was the worst brunch I’ve tried so far

I appreciate that the menu diverges from standard brunch offerings and demonstrates a willingness to experiment beyond familiar conventions.

The tiramisu latte was enjoyable overall; however, the espresso notes lacked sufficient intensity to fully anchor the beverage. More generally, some dishes would benefit from greater balance in flavor profiles. The yuzu pain doré, while initially appealing, became overly sweet after several bites, evoking the sensory fatigue associated with excessive sugar. In contrast, the beurre noisette with merguez skewed slightly too acidic for my palate. Service was somewhat slow, though this would not deter me from returning.

We enjoyed brunch here overall. The pain doré yuzu was really good, the sweetness from the bread was balanced out nicely by the sourness from the dipping, but it’s too sweet to finish on its own. I loved the merguez though, especially when you mix everything together with the yogurt base, sauces, and poached eggs.
My only real complaints: the coffee tasted more like syrup and milk with a bit coffee flavor than actual latte.. and the tip options start at 17%… just something to keep in mind.

Came here for brunch. I had the pistachio latte which I loved. It looks beautiful and tastes just as good. I also had the mushroom Eggs Bénédictine. It was good but I think I prefer the salmon one. This one was just too mushroomy.

Definitely a top tier brunch in Montreal!

The yuzu French toast was 10/10 and the drinks were good.

Would definitely go back.

Very tasty brunch! Lots of unique menu items, with all of them looking gorgeous. It's rare to see such the flavor matching pretty plates, and the same goes for their drinks.

Nice brunch, although it is on the more expensive side

The food at Antipode was excellent, full of flavor and very well-prepared. I was happy they offer halal options, which made dining stress-free. Our server was amazing, super friendly, and attentive without being overbearing.
