Review Summary

Cadet comes across in reviews as a polished, shareable tapas style destination in Montreal's Quartier des Spectacles, praised for refined, flavorful dishes and a lively, modern atmosphere. The menu, designed for tasting and sharing, features standout seafood and vegetable plates like black cod morue charbonnière, octopus, scallops, calamari, beef tartare, hamachi, and focaccia, with sauces and presentation repeatedly called thoughtful and delicious. Service is described as warm, attentive, professional, and often fast to accommodate show times or busy rooms, with strong wine pairings and inventive cocktails cited as a plus. The ambience is elegant yet relaxed, though the space can feel loud, crowded, or cramped at peak times, and some reviewers note small portions for the price or occasional missteps such as undercooked potatoes, fatty lamb, or overpowering sauces. Overall, Cadet emerges as a standout dining experience with excellent food and knowledgeable staff, a good option for a date night or pre show dinner, and a place many would return to, despite the occasional inconsistency and noise.

Hats off for the top-notch service, on top of the delicious food. Up to par with Michelin establishments. Not the typical place to bring children, but they were super accommodating! Waiters suggested kid-friendly items on the menu (which were indeed a success). Must try the fried sea bass, beef tartare, mushrooms, pavolva & bread pudding - all flawless. Cocktails are also amazing & the rosé sancerre was a hit.

What a great experience - The vibe is very cool, good house music in the background, not too loud so conversation is easy. Our server was friendly, timely, & the wait staff are well coordinated. We started off with 2 house cocktails (gin / mezcal ) which were delicious, shared 3 plates, 2 glasses of wine & a dessert. The salmon & broccoli dishes were amazing, as was the bread pudding. The table next to us was raving about their plates too. Perfect amount of food to share for 2. Reasonably priced (under $200 with good tip) for food quality, presentation, service & location. We loved it - definitely go back to try other dishes on the menu.

Service impécable, ambience décontracté mais festive (excellente sélection musicale) Nourriture savoureuse & menu créatif. Coups de coeur pour les Gnocchi Ricotta, l'entrée de Burrata & l'accord dessert & vincocktails, le crémeux au citron yuzu est délectable! Highly recommended.

Une merveilleuse expérience dans cet établissement qui mériterait d'être Michelin. Le menu change en fonction des saisons & va vous surprendre par sa témérité. Le personnel est plus qu'exemplaire & la salle à manger d'un chic nouveau bourgeois décontracté qui saura vous plaire pour un 5@7, un rencart, ou une sortie épicurienne. Je recommande fortement le brocolis ainsi que la focaccia pour commencer. C'est une formule de type tapas donc des plats à partager ! Il y a une très belle carte des vins & si vous êtes amateurs de cocktails les barmans vont vous renverser ! Pour le stationnement : sur la rue c'est difficile avec la construction de Montréal. Je recommande le stationnement payant en face (25 à 30$) ou le transport en commun (métro Saint Laurent)

This was a dining experience. Small plate tapas style, the portions are perfect & designed for sharing for two people. Order at least 2 per person. The craft cocktails are amazing. Service was decent, a little slow but very friendly. Food came out fast & delicious.

Very vibrant & fun atmosphere. Staff is quick & know their food/cocktail/wine menus very well. Every single plate was flavourful & tasty. I recommend coming here over Bouillon Bilk ! More fun ;)

Had a great meal last Friday night with my wife as we were up visiting for a long weekend for her birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here & the staff & service too. The oysters were unreal - super fresh, petite, plump, briny, etc. - & then the fennel salad & chicken thighs were great too. We ended with the cheesecake for dessert. Also the cocktails all evening were delicious & we'll be stopping in every future visit to Montreal.
