Antidote FoodLab

Megan made sure that my wife and myself felt like royalty for our wedding anniversary! The food was incredible and so where the cocktails and wine. Thank you to the whole staff for an unforgettable evening!

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Would make the drive up from Vermont just to go to dinner here. Can't wait to return.

We googled best restaurants in Sherbrooke, Quebec and were intrigued by the horse cheek Shepherd’s Pie (shepherd’s pie being my partner’s favorite dish). Came in late night with no real expectations and we were honestly blown away with the ambience, service and food.

In the uber ride over, our driver said he dropped three separate groups at that restaurant the same night, so we knew we were going somewhere great.

We opted to sit at the bar since we knew the kitchen/restaurant were getting ready to start shutting down. The bartender/our server - Corinne, was warm, extremely knowledgeable, had amazing recommendations and explained every dish with remarkable detail.

We had the bison carpaccio and duck tartare to start, then the shepherd’s pie and duck breast as our mains and the sea buckthorn tarte for dessert. To drink, I had an espresso martini and my partner was extremely pleased with the corn on the cob cocktail (sounds wild but so so so good!). We both had the Pinot noir with dinner, as per Corinne’s recommendations and it went so well with our meals.

The restaurant is in what appears to be an old textile factory, and they pay homage to that with the cellar-esque vibe, sewing machine decor, and stylish aprons and mixed glassware.

We thought we’d have an interesting late night meal and ended up having one of the best meals we’ve ever had with amazing service and the coolest vibe.

10/10 would recommend! *chef’s kiss*

Truly unique experience. Very cozy place, a lot of ambiance. Our waitress Megane ( not sure about spelling, sorry) was exceptionally knowledgeable, warm and caring. The dishes were well cooked and well plated. We tasted bison, duck and beef. A little too salty and overwhelmed with dressings to my taste. The description of dessert was misleading. It was supported to include carrot mousse with caramelized carrots, but instead of mousse there was just whipped cream with tiny microscopic pieces of carrots, barely noticeable. Anyway was eaten with pleasure. Interesting cocktails with unusual ingredients. Good choice of wines. Definitely place to remember and return.

Pour vivre l’une des meilleures expériences culinaires de l’Estrie si ce n’est de toute la province.

We had dinner at AntiDote FoodLab and wow, it was amazing. We started with the Squash and the Antidote Caesar, then had the Shepherd’s Pie and the Beef. Everything was just really well done, super flavorful.

I had a gin and tonic and their Cocktail of the Moment, both were so good. For dessert, we shared the Carrot Cake and Black Forest Tart, then finished with a latté. No notes.

Our server Fred was great, knew his stuff, and everyone there made us feel really looked after.

In a city full of options, Antidote stands out as the remedy for the common restaurant.

My wife and I spontaneously decided to have supper here. We sat at the bar with a view of the kitchen, and our server who was also the bartender (Xavier) made our evening with his hospitality. Food was unbelievable. Recommended for anyone looking for phenomenal food and drinks in a unique atmosphere. A truly gastronomic experience.

Great food! Great atmosphere! Great service! Thank you for a Great Birfday dinner!

Good food and service from Tommy

Great food, great cocktails, very good service, reasonable priced. Strongly recommended.

There are meals that satisfy, and then there are those that leave a lasting impression — my recent dinner at L’Antidote FoodLab in Sherbrooke was definitely the latter.

From the first bite to the last, every dish felt like a thoughtful expression of flavor and finesse. The foie gras with panisse was a standout — the rich, silky foie gras paired with the crispy, golden panisse was simply stunning with the rich blueberry flavor. It was the kind of dish that makes you pause for a moment, just to fully appreciate what’s happening on your palate.

But what truly made the experience special was the overall attention to detail. Each plate was delicate yet full of bold, balanced flavors — clearly the work of a team that not only knows their craft but loves it.

A heartfelt thank you to Mathieu for his impeccable service. His passion for the food and wine shone through in every description, making the experience feel even more personal and engaging. It’s always a pleasure to be guided by someone who genuinely cares about sharing the story behind what’s on the plate.

The best restaurant in Sherbrooke ,for sure.. loved the ambiance, the staffs were friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely come back

Amazing restaurant experience!!

The atmosphere is amazing, I believe the building is a repurposed factory but is super cozy and has nice ambient lighting. It was the best atmosphere for a date.

The menu consists creative takes on classics like ceasar salad, Shepard’s pie, carrot cake, salmon and more. They put their own spin on things that are familiar!

We would the food here actually quite filling.

The service was great too. I will for sure visit again if I am in the area.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Antidot Good Lab restaurant in Sherbrooke, and I must say that the experience was exceptional. As soon as I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, always smiling and attentive. The setting is modern and cozy, with a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a dinner with friends or family.

The dishes are creative, well presented, and the quality of the ingredients is undeniable. Every bite was a delight, showing true attention to detail.

The service was fast and efficient, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff is very professional and knows how to advise on menu choices and drinks.

In short, Antidot Good Lab is a place to discover for lovers of good cuisine. I will go back without hesitation!
