Review Summary

Bar Kabinet presents a stylish, intimate vibe with warm lighting and thoughtful design that draws you in, but the space can feel cramped and the small tables can undermine comfort. The bar is the strength, offering creative, well balanced cocktails and a solid wine list, while the food tends to be underwhelming for the price with bites that are serviceable rather than memorable, though some dishes such as duck and certain tartares earn praise for flavor and execution. Service is consistently described as friendly, welcoming and attentive, contributing to a positive overall mood, and the venue is repeatedly recommended for drinks before or after dinner or a girls night out, with some noting improvements under new management. Overall the experience blends a craft cocktail scene and attractive decor with variable food value, making it feel more like a destination for drinks and ambiance than a standout culinary spot.

We had such a great night at Kabinet. We ordered the caviar tower, which was super fun & absolutely delicious. The manager, Dominick, recommended a champagne pairing that was perfect. You could tell he really knew his stuff, & he made us feel totally taken care of.

The vibe of the place is intimate & cute, but also lively enough that I could easily see myself coming back with friends.

The staff were all incredibly friendly & attentive. It really felt like they cared.

Definitely a spot we'll be revisiting upon our next visit to Montreal.

A Hidden Gem That Just Keeps Getting Better!
I recently went back to Kabinet in Montreal for the second time, now under new administration & new Executive Chef - & I have to say, I didn't think it was possible, but the experience was even better than my first visit!

The atmosphere remains as stylish & inviting as ever, but the new team has taken things to another level. The service was flawless, & the food… absolutely unforgettable.

Highly recommend the salad (fresh, vibrant, perfectly balanced), the smoked trout (a standout-delicate & flavorful), & the asparagus (elevated to perfection) Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared & beautifully presented.

If you haven't been since the change in management, it's time to go back. & if it's your first time, you're in for a treat

Food was amazing !!!! Would recommend going with a group of 4-5 & ordering a bunch of things to share because everything is worth trying.

Une tentaculette de pieuvre trop cuite à 26$? C'est se payer deux fois la tête du client. Portion lilliputienne & si dure que le chef ne sait peut-être pas qu'il faut briser les fibres de la bête ! & comme nous étions deux à avoir commandé le même plat, nous avons été servis dans la meme assiette de service. Curieux! La patience du serveur nous a convaincus de découvrir les vins au verre que la maison propose. Des vins naturels tous aussi mauvais les uns que les autres. Je me suis rabattu sur l'eau pétillante ! Lors de votre prochain séjour à Nice chef, je vous recommande les vraies & savoureuses tentacules de poulpe des Bains du Castel. Cuitent à basse température pendant plus de 8 heures elles sont très tendres & grillées avant d'être servies leur assurant un savoureux petit croquant!

Always a nice dining experience at Kabinet. The food & service are reliably excellent. Would especially recommend the trout caviar & blinis. Delicious!

Quelle soirée, nous n'avions aucune attente & nous sommes ressorti bluffés! Le staff est formidable, iels se sont occupé de moi & ma famille avec grand soin. La maître d'hôtel parfaite & le barman très sympathique & accueillant. Les busboy & girl nous ont servis avec une grande attention & nous nous sommes sentis choyés. La carte des vins est très belle & les cocktails à tomber! Je recommande chaudement, n'hésitez pas!
