Wow! Amazing food. Professional staff. Great location with plenty of charm. Patio is relaxed and staff are attentive. And dog treats for pups!! It can definitely be busy, but worth the wait for amazing food that is uniquely presented, full of authentic flavours, and reasonably priced. Their brunch menu is comprehensive with everything worth a try. Don't forget to try their espresso drinks as are also very unique, especially their lattes. I will be back again and again and again! Merci Antipode!!

Went in on a Wednesday morning, service was pleasant, quick and attentive. Our waitress was pleasant and the water refills were frequent. The drinks were aesthetically pleasing and tasted good as well. The matcha was a little bit milky but the waiter explained that it’s done like a frappe so all good. A bit on the pricier side but overall a good experience and will be coming back.

It's been a while since I've been to an actual delicious brunch that serves dishes with more complexity and layers. Nothing is boring on their menu and it makes me wanna come back again and try other things. This place has lineups so come early and if possible, on a weekday. They are opening a second bigger location soon.

We were looking for a spontaneous date day to have brunch and after few research found this place. Decided to give it a try as the menu seemed interesting and prices seemed reasonable for brunch. The tiramisu latte looked delicious as well. We ordered and waited 45 mins for our food. They brought out the truffle fries we had ordered and at this point we were starving and devoured the fries. When the food finally came out we were no longer hungry. We took 3 bites and brought the rest to go. It was unfortunate that they were short in the kitchen that day therefore considered all before giving this rating. Great staff, food, and atmosphere regardless.

During my short trip to Montreal, I chose this place for brunch and it didn’t disappoint. There was a bit of a line, but it moved quickly and was absolutely worth it. The food was excellent, every bite hit the mark. Our server was friendly and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place.

I absolutely loved it here. It is located in the cutest neighborhood that has a vintage feel. The restaurant itself has a beautiful esthetic. There was a small line up when we arrived, but the greeted us promptly and we only had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. We had 6 adults and 2 babies and they still went above and beyond to make us comfy. I really appreciated the kind and friendly service. The food and beverages were also amazing with gorgeous presentation. I highly recommend this spot for a brunch day

It’s not every day you stumble upon a brunch spot in a city you’re just visiting that not only serves incredible food but also embodies true hospitality. It was a cloud-covered Saturday afternoon when we joined the line outside this restaurant. What truly left an impression was how thoughtful and organized the staff was. They personally handed out umbrellas to everyone waiting in line, making sure no one was left standing in the rain unprotected. Despite their efforts, we still ended up drenched when it started pouring. To my surprise, even though we were dripping wet, the staff didn’t hesitate to invite us in. Rather than turning anyone away, they welcomed every guest with genuine warmth. They made sure the chairs were dried, offered towels, and seated everyone with a smile. It’s the little things like this that go a long way. It was honestly the complete opposite of what I’ve sadly come to expect from other places in Montreal. At most spots that I have been to, if you don’t speak French fluently, you’re either ignored, hung up on, or politely (and sometimes not-so-politely) asked to leave. This restaurant did not have a hint of that coldness. The staff spoke both French and English effortlessly, and treated everyone, locals and visitors alike, with respect and care. The food was just as comforting as the service. Every dish was perfect, and the coffee felt like a warm hug. The Yuzu French Toast was absolutely unforgettable. I had never tried vegan shakshouka before, but this one was truly exceptional, rich, flavorful, and utterly delicious. This spot is truly extraordinary. I would return again and again, not just for the food, but for the hospitality. Highly recommend!

Great place for brunch! The food looks amazing and tastes even better. We had the salmon Benedict, shakshuka, croque madame, and the special pain perdu. The drinks, especially the tiramisu and Bueno lattes, were delicious. Service was great — a small delay in drinks, but the manager offered us a complimentary cocktail. Highly recommend!
