I suspect this is another of those places in KL which will be 'the place' to go to until the next 'place' arrives. Incredibly busy (seriously people - there are better places where there isn't a queue). Inside doesn't feel very relaxing and the coffee is very very average. I'm afraid I don't understand the fascination with this place. Yes,... More

The first thing you will notice when you go to Antipodean is that the menu is on the wall. There are no physical booklet menus. They really do expect you to decide your meal from the writing on the wall. Quite a shocker for myself as I've not had this experience before. The food is tasty and fresh and the... More

...as I dont like sitting in very cold air conditioning so prefer outdoors dining but not sitting on the pavement where occasionally one can get hassled. My main beef about this place is the acoustics - something really needs to be done as you truly cannot hear the person sitting across the table as there is too much background noise... More

The menu is on the wall which adds a tint of nostalgia as if you are in a typical Aussie place for breakfast . We had the big breakfast ( toast, bacon, mushroom, scrambled eggs and hash brown) . Delicious . Coffee was great too as I assume they make their own coffee. Service superb. Friendly staff. Price appropriate too!... More

1. If u like breakfast type of savory food this is the place. A lot of light dishes which seems like side dishes 2. If u want a heavy meal, not the place to eat! 3. They said their chicken with asparagus was nice, tried it and thought it was an amateur dish. Like someone that just learned how to... More

Without a doubt the best coffee in KL and Malaysia. Value for money (errr cheap) - generous portions and they roast on site. Busy as hell on the weekends but Antipodean 2 just been opened near KLCC so will head there 2 avoid the weekend mobbing More

Excellent food, really good service and an authentic experience is a consistent reflection of multiple visits to Antipodean. The portions are generous, but not over-facing or wasteful and the coffee is a 'proper' coffee with decent strength and taste. This place does get very busy especially at weekends and it's not just Antipodean expats but a good handful of locals... More
