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.

Avec mon conjoint nous avons découvert ce charmant restaurant un dimanche soir. L'ambiance était très calme & très agréable. Niveau service tout à était très bien présenté & très bien conseillé. Niveau nourriture : nous étions 2 & nous avons pris la focaccia, le choux fleur, la coppa, les brocolis & spatzel, & les gnocchis + la tarte au chocolat que l'on s'est partagé. Donc 5 "plats a partagés" & un dessert & ça nous a bien remplis le ventre, on aurait même pu se passer du dessert (ou d'un plat) donc je recommande de suivre les conseils des serveurs/serveuses quand à la quantité à commander. Tous les plats étaient vraiment savoureux, je recommande ce restaurant

Original & unique plates, every single one was spot clean after we were done. Everything we had was delicious, by order of preference : 1) Brocoli (house specialty, don't miss it but it is quite heavy) 2) scallops 3) beef tartare 4) salmon 5] lamb chops (despite being highly reviewed, we found it to be pretty basic & the least impressive yet still okay) 6) bread pudding (not great, would recommend trying another dessert)

I had an extraordinary dining experience at this restaurant today! The food quality surpassed my expectations, especially the exquisite fish croquette, perfectly paired wine, & the indulgent beef tartare & yuzu dessert left me speechless. The atmosphere was impeccable, with just the right lighting creating a cozy yet elegant ambiance. Despite being full, the place wasn't too loud, allowing for a delightful dining experience. The staff's expertise in service was evident - they consistently checked in, offered excellent suggestions, & made the entire evening truly memorable. A must-visit for any food enthusiast!

Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious! The sauces & seasonings were really tasty. Too bad we did not have space for dessert in the end...

Place has a lot of wine choices & a full bar. The menu has a variety of vegetarian, Seafood & red meat dishes as well as appetizers. We have a few of each category. By far, the best options we tried were the vegetarian & the seafood options. A notable mention was the sea bass & the calamari. Everything we tried was good however. The service was on point, courteous, prompt & the waiter came to check on us frequently. We never ran out of water. The service was also quite quick as they are used to getting people who come in then go to a show after, so the service is built around that. The desserts were tasty but not very creative. Of notable mention the yuzu deconstructed dessert. I would go back here for the quality, the food & the service.

The server was nice, & the atmosphere was nice as well. The food was well presented, but a lot of the flavors were mute. The dessert was amazing tho.
Would recommend trying it once. Also AVOID the salad in the corner of the image. Idk who said orange in a salad was good

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.
