This restaurant sadly did not live up to the expectations. I really wanted to like this restaurant but it felt like they were trying to copy some playbook of providing a haute cuisine experience but without the substance behind it.
First, the portion sizes are just ridiculously small for the price you pay. Unfortunately the quality of cooking techniques & creativity in ingredients & dishes do not make up for that lack of quantity, as one might expect from similar fine dining restaurants that offer the tasting menu format.
I visited Montreal for a week trying highly rated restaurants each night, & this was both my most expensive & least satisfying meal.
I actually left so hungry after the menu was completed that I had to find a Portuguese chicken place to eat. I was still hungry enough to finish a 1/4 chicken plate.
The second issue, though much more minor, was that the service felt very artificial. Everyone was friendly, but it felt fake & like they didn't care to have any conversation beyond what they needed to say when presenting each dish.
I added a star only for the fact that the owner was actually out on the line prepping alongside his chefs, & he at least made attempts to speak to each guest at the chef's table at least once.View more
Wonderful night with delicious food & great service! Thank you.View more
My husband & I went for our Wedding Anniversary celebration & were not disappointed. It was an amazing experience. They were so welcoming, like a family. The food was fantastic. We were seated at the counter it was well worth it. You were able to see all the activities of the restaurant & how well everyone worked together. It was one of the best experiences my Husband & I had. The food was exceptional & will never forget this experience & would definitely come back. The chefs were very attentive & made you feel like you were apart of their family. All the dishes were made with local products, homemade, including their Burrata cheese. All we can say is Wow! Thank you for everything.View more
I went to Cabaret l'Enfer for a birthday celebration & had such a great experience.
The space is cozy & intimate, with a dim, warm atmosphere that makes you feel instantly comfortable. The dishes were excellent, thoughtfully prepared with great attention to flavor & detail. Big shoutout to the staff, who were professional, attentive & clearly passionate about what they do.
Just make sure to plan well ahead, as reservations often need to be made months in advance if you want a chance at getting a table.A fantastic spot for a special night out in Montreal.View more
Definitely one of the top dining experiences in North America none thebless Montreal. Every course offered is so fresh & creative. The staff is very well knowledgeable as well as warm & accommodating. If you haven't been yet, you're absolutely missing out.View more
Just when you think tasting menus are dead, Massimo will prove you wrong. Delicious yummy food from beginning to end. great vibes, great music, great service.View more
I sincerely hope the owner reads this, because our experience was simply atrocious.
Waiting an hour between each bite is unacceptable. We arrived at 6:00 PM, & by 11:00 PM, we had only received three small bites. One of them was so inedible that I had to go to the bathroom to spit it out - it was literally impossible to swallow.
Hungry & discouraged, our plans to go out & enjoy the rest of the evening were ruined. All that was left was to pay a bill of several hundred dollars… & conclude this so-called'experience.'
When we asked the server about the slow pace of the service, he admitted the kitchen was poorly prepared: too many employees without direction, an ill-thought-out menu, & an overstaffed but disorganized kitchen team.
We paid a very high price for a mix of unprofessionalism & culinary pretension.
Avoid. Period.
The best meal we ate in Montreal among several excellent tasting menus. Sit at the bar, talk to the team, a great experience, the multi-layered, multi-textured chocolate dessert was the best thing I've eaten in the last year as a sweet course, complex, not overly sweet, truly a masterwork.View more
Tous les plats étaient incroyables & le personnel attentif & sympathique!View more
Dies ist einer der besten kulinarischen Adressen, die Montreal derzeit zu bieten hat: eine handwerklich Ausgezeichnete Küche auf Basis differenzierter Geschmacksnoten, und ein professioneller Service in angenehm unkomplizierter Atmosphäre.View more

On visite l'endroit pour une expérience gastronomique. Une minutie dans les présentations & les saveurs sont au rendez-vous. La facture est en conséquence. Harald au service impeccable. Accord des vins pas toujours à notre goût.
Pas très invitant cette tête de mort au dessert mais je présume significatif avec le nom de l'établissementView more
C'était très bon, mais à ce prix, c'est la base. Ça manquait un peu de créativité. Les sauces étaient un peu salées. Le service & l'ambiance manquaient de cohérence.View more
Une soirée remarquable au Cabaret de l'enfer ✨ L'ambiance chaleureuse & raffinée, associée à un service irréprochable, nous a immédiatement séduit Les plats, faits maison & préparés avec des produits de saison, ont révélé une qualité & une finesse exceptionnelles Un grand bravo au chef & son second dont le talent & la créativité sont clairement mis en valeur dans chaque assiette Le personnel, à la fois professionnel & attentif, a contribué à faire de cette soirée un moment particulièrement agréable Une expérience que je recommande vivement & que je ne manquerai pas de renouveleView more

What an incredible meal & experience! We were 6 fully vegan diners, & the Chef & his team prepared an insane 7 course meal for us. It was PERFECT! We were blown away, service was professional, patient, super friendly & attentive! The wines which were all recommended by the wonderful Sommelier were all AMAZING! food, taste, creativity & presentation was just out of this world! 10/10!! We will be back!View more
Coup de coeur assuré! J'ai tout aimé de mon expérience: Le concept, le service chaleureux, personnalisé & impeccable, les plats cuisinés à la perfection pour le bonheur de nos papilles & de nos yeux.View more
We were excited to pay a visit to Cabaret l'enfer last week after hearing so much about it. Overall, we were disappointed, the food was good (but with very few memorable dishes in my opinion) but the service was abysmal, by far the worst I've had in a restaurant at this price point in Montréal. We got there at 20:15, paid for the tuna extra so we had 8 courses. We left at 00:10, so almost 4h later. The service was excruciatingly slow, & ruined the overall experience for me. It took over an hour to get the first course. Food wise, the charcuterie board was good & enjoyable, the fatty tuna extra was also delicious, same for the scallops. The rest of the meal wasn't bad, but I'm writing this barely a week after going to the restaurant & I've already forgotten what those dishes were, so they probably weren't that good. The restaurant by itself is pretty plain, some may call it ugly. It feels cheaply put together, & not in line with the $140 tasting menu. I would not come back & recommend the restaurant to friends, there are very similar, but superior restaurants in the city.View more
