My friends & I walked into this beautiful place on a Thursday night without a reservation & were immediately sat at the bar. The staff was super friendly, the drinks were excellent, & the decor is so chic! I had a pornstar martini, which was one of the best drinks I've ever had. I can't wait to try the food here next time!

Gregor & Karrigan were amazing! I'm so grateful for their service. Gregor gave multiple suggestions for white wine & I absolutely loved the suggestion he gave (Weszeli was my fave!). Thank you so much!

Kind of chose this on a whim in our 30hr visit to Montreal from Vermont. Greatest whim in a long time Grigor was out server & he was great. He described the dishes & drinks perfectly. Guided us towards house specials & for our food order, made sure we not only had enough, but also made the experience so enjoyable. Grigor offered tastes of all of the wines by the glass & also described them to a t. Made me want to stay & have more but family...

As for the food, we had one of each dish & every one was prepared very well. From the opener of Hamachi crudo which was so simple but the flavors of the tomato base & the Hamachi itself made a great marriage in the mouth. As the food progressed, the layers of flavors increased to the showstoppers in my opinion, the potatoes & then the duck.

The potatoes were on a base of what I'd call ajvar, a pureed red pepper sauce but with some vinegar in there too. This offset the richness of the duck fat potatoes & I could have ordered more of them until I passed out from a food coma, but family...

Then the duck came out. On a base of pureed apple, the duck was perfectly cooked medium rare & the flavors melded so perfectly.

Along with the food, the cocktails were expertly crafted & again, worth seeking out.

Overall, this was a crazy good experience that I'd come back to Montreal from my home in Brooklyn for. I have a reason to drive further to ski Tremblant

Tout c'était bon. Merci beaucoup.

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.
