Antipode seems to be a much-appreciated brunch spot, praised for its careful presentation, original lattes, and food often described as delicious and flavorful. Many customers also highlight the pleasant decor, generally warm service, and generous portions. However, the place can be very busy with wait times, and some find the prices high or inconsistent compared with the value received. There are also a few negative comments about service, cleanliness, and the consistency of certain dishes or drinks.
I ordered a pistachio latte, it served not that much similar to the advertised photos, I expected proper time consider for preparation and pay attention to details for an art cafe I also did not like the taste The atmosphere of the cafe was good
Everything about our visit felt pleasant and easygoing. The ordering process was simple, the staff were kind and attentive, and the food exceeded expectations. The atmosphere also created a really enjoyable dining experience. I’d come back again soon.
It was delicious !
Food was really good and the place is pretty, fortunately we got a seat immediately, but once we got seated we waited like 10 min until a waiter came for us, something that also bordered me was that the music was awful covers of famous songs.
This is a must visit! Mother, aunt and I had brunch. Best cappuccino, coffee is flavourful and reasonable price. Portions are the perfect size. We were full leaving. Staff are friendly and attentive. We will be back again!
I found an ant in my food and the owner didn’t even care or apologize to me or change the food worst experience in my life ! Never again ! What a shame
best brunch spot in montreal , loved it
Can’t leave Montreal without having brunch! I haven’t had good brunch outside of Montreal actually lol, and idk why. I chose a new place to dine in this time instead of the places I usually go to (L’Avenue, Le Passé Composé, etc.). The interior was artistic and had Renaissance art, such as the Statue of David). I ordered: Croque Madame $20 Egg, ham & bacon, on croissant Pistachio Latte $8.50 I think the service in this place is super slow. Food was good, drinks were interesting. I wouldn’t mind coming back again for other items, as everything looked so aesthetic.
Gratuit drinks, but very busy
The food is really good Service in nice and the personal are lovely Great atmosphere give you the vibe of South France
The food were good and had a nice presentation, no waiting line, waiting time for food was fine. The only thing is that I took an iced moka, I got charged for the drink AND got charged 1$ for the barista to shake my drink???? That’s crazy. Why don’t they just adjust their price on their menu instead?
Not only does the food look *crazy good*… it tastes even better 🤤🔥 Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. And the drinks? Just as amazing 🍹✨ Perfect balance, super refreshing, and clearly made with care. Definitely a spot worth coming back to 💯
If you are looking to experience a gastronomical squirt, this is the place. Top notch
A stellar brunch spot for the most gorgeous plates and drinks! This location doesn’t take reservations and gets super busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait at peak hours. Luckily for us, it was only about a ten minute wait on a Saturday around 11:30. The staff are alert and frequently, so don’t be afraid to ask about the menu. The interior is chic with lots of interesting decorations to observe. Of course, you have to try their stunning beverages. We got the London Fog and the Latte Rosé. The drinks were really smooth and soothing for a cold morning. The menu has good variety, and we chose the croque tartiflette, the brisket & champignons eggs Benedict, and the pain perdu yuzu. The entrees are pretty expensive, but the portions are extremely large, which slightly makes up for the price. The croque tartiflette had two huge slices of crusty sourdough bread filled with caramelized onion chutney, bechamel sauce, and cheddar cheese. It was also topped with more melty cheese and bacon, a the whole croque was placed over a huge fried cheese skirt. The eggs Benedict had crunchy English muffins topped with a healthy amount of delicious brisket, poached eggs, and really fresh mushrooms that had a potent aroma. Finally, the pain perdu yuzu looked phenomenal. There were two huge slabs of fried, crunchy bread served alongside a poached pear, yuzu gel, and vanilla ice cream with crumble. Antipode will deliver a hearty, delicious brunch that will put you right to sleep!
Lovely spot for brunch, just impossible to find parking. Food was good portion, some fancier brunch places, i found myself hungry afterwards but not on this one. Both me and my wife were full to the brim.
Amazing!!!
The atmosphere is quite cozy with the greenery and the wooden interior design. It really soothes you seeing all that which makes the dining experience much better. The service was friendly but throughout the meal, I don't remember seeing any of the waiters or waitresses smile. They were quite polite though. The food itself was so pretty. It felt a bit wrong biting into the food or drinking the lattes but it tasted quite nice! I really enjoyed the flavour profiles, they really complemented each other. The portions were quite big as well. The price looks intimidating, around 25$ for a plate, but the portions were almost enough for 2, especially if you are having a latte on the side.
✨ Antipode: The most photogenic brunch in MTL!✨ As a self-proclaimed brunch expert, I’ve seen it all in Montréal, but Antipode Laurier definitely brings something unique to this city’s brunch scene. If you’re looking for a "one-time" bucket list brunch that will make your followers jealous, this is it!!! The Atmosphere & Service: We arrived at 11:00 AM on a Saturday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately (party of 3 people). The décor feels incredibly authentic and curated, creating a vibe that is upscale yet cozy. The service was 10/10; attentive, professional, and fast! The Food (A Flavor Journey): The dishes here aren’t just food; they are art. • The Lattes: The blue and pink lattes are showstoppers. Not just pretty, the floral and earthy notes were perfectly balanced. • The Mains: You can taste the complexity in every bite. Whether it's the smoked salmon on brioche or the savory waffles, the flavor profiles are layered and sophisticated. They aren’t playing it safe here, and I appreciate that. The "But" (The Price Tag 💸): Here is the honest truth: the pricing is significantly higher than other top-tier brunch spots in the city offering similar quality. While the food is great, the "Brunch Tax" here is real. The Verdict: • Would I go back? Probably not, given the price point. • Do I recommend it? YES—100% at least once. You have to experience the presentation and the vibe at least once. It’s a 5-star experience with a 3-star price tag!
Great food great service
Great food and very unique taste.
Their œuf à la crème is amazing! It’s served in a belle with smoke trapped in it. A must try!
I was very surprised by this place. We had to wait a bit to get in but the food was AMAZING. I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen such care taken in the preparation of the dishes. Beautiful work. I’ll definitely be back.
Really cozy place. The personnel have been extremely pleasant 💙 Would definitely recommend and come back again!
Tasty brunch
It was super, I loved it, the place is located in an ancient building but is charming, the attention was good and the food was really good, well presented and the most important delicious.
