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 absolutely love this restaurant. This is my second time coming to Sherbrooke for work and I made it a priority to come back here for dinner with a coworker. Had a wonderful experience again with delicious meals and refreshing drinks. This is a fancy place and a lot of effort goes into everything they do so it's not cheap to eat here but the cost of the dining experience is more than fair. This time I split the sushi tartare, had the duck for dinner and the Miso ice cream for dessert. My coworker had the smoked fish and the popcorn ice cream and in his words "this is only the second time I've congratulated the chef on what he made!" He is gluten free and is doing dry January and they had options across the board for his dietary restriction. Only complaint was that after ordering drinks initially it took a while for them to show up, but afterwards everything came out quickly, they ended up comping the first rounds of drinks as an apology. Spent 200CAD for two people, worth every dollar.

The jewel in the crown of restaurants in this region. The food was delicious, inventive, with local ingredients; the wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly (merci Claudia), the ambiance was cozy with a bar for a quick drink (incredible cocktail!), room for large parties and cozy nooks for a romantic dinner. Very pricey, but you get what you pay for and we'll worth every penny!

An actual hidden gem, I’m not from this town. However, I was debating between this place or another two. Used the spin the wheel app to make my decision. And fate has landed on Antitode. From the service (thank you Gabriel) to the food, to the little details, to the beautiful plates, to the ambiance, well as the cleanliness! The toilet was sparkling. I loved every single dish. Every single bite was heavenly. Gabriel, our server was very knowledgeable, explanations of the dishes were professional. I even asked him to surprise me for my cocktail options since I’m not really a fan of wine. They do have a huge wine list. From what I noticed, every single team member was well mannered, qualified, and has profound professionalism. Mind you, I’m very picky with my food. As well as indecisive, however they have a very short menu so it was very easy for me to pick. I also worked in hospitality service. So I know you guys are doing something right. The lighting is very dim. To match its ambiance. So it’s very hard to take pictures that do the restaurant some justice. If you’re reading this review, and debating weather to go or not. I highly recommend. PS. Don’t give up on finding the restaurant. It’s quite hard to locate. Maybe because I’m not from this town. 5 stars all around.

Our best gastronomic experience in Quebec. Intimate atmosphere, the tables are well spaced, the lights dimmed. Our waitress visited us several times, but in no way did we perceive the visits to be intrusive, the timing was perfect, and she established a beautiful connection with us sharing her knowledge of the menu and wine pairings with professionalism, passion and great concern for customer satisfaction. The quality of the dishes served is incomparable, allowing for a unique culinary experience in Estrie, with each bite offering an explosion of flavors.

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!

A few visits already to their establishment, one of the best culinary experiences. The food is beyond excellent, the atmosphere is great and the service lives up to expectations. The staff knows the menu very well and we are able to have very good descriptions of the dishes, and advice for accompaniments. The dishes offer a nice variety of flavors, and the drinks are very good. I would still like to see an update on the desserts. Theyre good, but lacking a little something. Fruity flavors perhaps? Excellent service, I recommend.

We really enjoyed our meal and the service. For my part, I took the 4 starters from the menu (soup, Cesar salad, veal tartare and scallop) with the popcorn dessert (a little rich but tasted just as good). I replaced my main course with the 4 starters. . This is a way to experiment with several dishes. My partner had the soup and trout. Everything was perfect and the plates were very good both in terms of taste and appearance (well done!!!). We received good advice on the wine. We are from Montreal and we are going to come back to your restaurant... congratulations to its chef and his brigade as well as to all the staff.

What an incredible dining experience. The service is attentive from all employees. I was served by Xavier, a true enthusiast. A simple menu (the way I like them). 5 starter choices and 5 main course choices. As a starter, I opted for the yellow beetroot soup and the revisited Caesar salad. A pure delight! The ingredients are fresh, there is research into the flavor of the dishes. For the main course, beef with a divine sauce and for dessert, ice cream surrounded by popcorn. Everything was tasty. If you are in Sherbrooke or the surrounding area, it is worth the detour.

Inexplicable how this restaurant is beyond all expectations. The chef is passionate and you can taste/see it in the dishes. I would trust it to prepare any food I dont really like and make something extraordinary with it. The dishes are original and comforting. The atmosphere is relaxed, subdued lighting, very warm. Best restaurant weve been to to date and were a fan of trying new places. A big 10/10! Thanks to the chef/owner who took the time to come see us at the end of the service. Super friendly! Number one service also from Mathieu!

Les serveurs maitrise très bien les descriptions des plats. C est de la musique à mes oreilles les écouter.

I went to Antidote Foodlab 3 times and I was charmed each time. The service is impeccable, the staff knows the menu perfectly and offers you a memorable experience. The dishes are exquisite. We had the Antidote Caesar salad and the scallops as starters - both starters were delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by the Caesar Antidote. For main courses we chose the shepherds pie, which was definitely worth it, and the duck, which was perfectly tender and tasty. It s definitely the best restaurant in Sherbrooke and I will go back without hesitation!

Great restaurant, wow food, great nothing bad to say only positive. The mixture of flavors and their way of preparing them. Their service nothing to say about it. Our server takes the time to explain everything about the menu to us, each meal. Just talking to us makes my mouth water. As a group he gives us time to talk together and never during the evening did we feel pushed to leave dinner at 4am but it passed like nothing. Atmosphere. Beautiful restaurant, not too noisy, you can hear yourself talking. It was kept hidden from what the building was before. A beautiful mix of the past and the present. Went back there on. Thanks for the evening

Unfortunately, after several years of total satisfaction, I have to give this restaurant a bad rating. Our last experience was more than mediocre. We invited people to come with us to show them this wonderful restaurant, and in the end we were all REALLY disappointed. Only the dessert was appreciated. Considering the hefty bill that awaited us on top of that, its a real shame. I dont know what happened to cause such a turnaround in the quality of the dishes. It must be said that with the famous pandemic we did not go back. Maybe its a different boss? Our server did a very good job and was very courteous, although the wait time was very very long. In any case, we are very sad about this situation.

Antidote Food Lab s reputation is well-founded. The food was super-fresh and surprisingly good, without a single exception. For a place like this to offer Vitello Tonnato struck me as bold. I m a vitello tonnato afficionado, and this is one of the best I ve had anywhere in the world! The preparation (a highly creative, de-constructivist approach) was superb - one of my all-time best bites. The rest of the meal was equally inspired. Kudos and many thanks to Chef Vaillancourt and the rest of the top-notch team both in the kitchen and front of house for treating us to a truly memorable meal!
