Many patrons praise the creative drink menu and high quality of service provided by the staff, who are frequently described as welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive. While opinions on the food are somewhat mixed, with some guests finding portions small or service occasionally uneven, many others rave about the flavorful shared plates and well-executed dishes like the duck and beef tartare. Although the layout can feel cramped and noise levels sometimes rise, the overall consensus highlights the venue as a standout spot for drinks and a memorable night out in a beautiful setting.

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.
