Had high expectations but to be honest,all 3 mains, black cod, chicken wings & beef are too salty & the service is cold.

Top rated eatery in the city. Lovely food generally well balanced & service with a good selection of wines…
We had the …
Mozzarella, artichoke, muhammara,'Nduja, - not our favourite, mozzarella was hard & was ground out by the spiciness of the sauce
Fingerling potatoes, chimichurri, mayonnaise - excellent carb accompaniment perhaps a little over seasoned for some
Scallops, ajo blanco, rhubarb, almond - Superb
Leeks, smoked mackerel, mustard, dill - Superb
Black cod, miso sauce, daikon, kale - also supe

Had a fun night at Cadet. We were a group of six, which is perfect here since the whole concept is built around sharing plates.

We started with a couple orders of the focaccia with cheddar & spicy oil (a must), then moved on to the broccoli spätzle with labneh & pistachios, the butternut squash with sheep feta, balsamic vinaigrette & pecans, the cod croquettes with spicy mayo, & the shrimp skewers with satay, Brussels sprouts, & ginger.

For mains, we shared a couple of orders of the flank steak with burnt chili salsa, Szechuan pepper sauce, & pickled peppers, along with the chicken wings with jerk sauce, caramelized onion chutney, & scallions, & the zucchini with chicken skin, hot honey, & pickled lemon.

Everything was delicious including the wine. Great service & energy in the room. All in all a really good night.

This was a truly unique & incredible dining experience! The wait staff was professional, the interior design was sleek, & the food was creative & delicious. We were impressed by the blackened cod, broccoli salad, & beet salad which our lovely server recommended.

Superb meal. Loved my black cod, even the butternut quash was so refreshing.

Food & service was on par for Michelin bib.

Some details:
- miso sauce on the black cod overpowered the fish which was itself perfectly cooked,

- focaccia was excellent but the sauce was weirdly paired & like a Piri piri flavour,

- croquettes were tender/no filler 👍

I enjoyed a fairly quick & also satisfying meal at Cadet. The service was quick & very personable. The staff had asked specifically if I was heading to a performance or not so that they could put a rush on my dishes if needed. I settled on the focaccia bread, the zucchini starter, & the cod. Everything was absolutely delicious! Delicious! The only thing for me was that it did feel quite rushed & even with me sitting at the bar, it's didn't feel as cozy or as friendly as I had hoped.

Industrial feel but modern also.
Not too loud but very busy, clearly popular.
Located on a less busy road, maybe questionable ongoings outside the door but you'd never know.

Kind & thoughtful service.
Great drinks.
Delicious food - shared tapas style. Octopus, cod croquets, kebabs, risotto all delicious. Other items were ok. But worth it for the experience nonetheless.

Another great spot to check out in Montreal. The service was friendly & smooth from start to finish, & the food overall was solid.

It was a delicious meal with some really fun flavour combinations. You can tell they're going for something a bit more creative & experimental with their menu, which I appreciate. The black cod was definitely the highlight. It was fresh & tender. The sauce leaned sweeter than I typically go for, but the fish itself was excellent quality.

That said, it didn't quite have that wow factor that makes a meal unforgettable.

Still, it's a good spot for sharing tapas style dishes & trying something playful. Would recommend giving it a go if you're in the area.
