As someone who considers themselves a brunch expert, I feel comfortable giving a precise review of Antipode. The food is good, with an interesting complexity of flavors. Their house hollandaise sauce is unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere — more aromatic and distinctive (even though some of my friends didn’t love its appearance). The service is excellent, and the décor feels very authentic. So what’s the issue? The price. It stands out compared to other brunch spots offering similar quality. It feels even less accessible when you consider that the eggs Benedict do not come with potatoes or salad — you only get the eggs Benedict themselves, which is uncommon compared to most places. Because of that, the value for money isn’t great. On the day I went, the wait wasn’t too bad — just a small group ahead of us. I wouldn’t go back, but I do recommend going once to try it.
