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.

5.0

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)

The place was full on a Sunday evening! We split 7 dishes between three people. The fingerling potatoes with chimichuri were deliciously crispy, the broccoli with labneh & the carrot salad were filling. We also had a cod croquette each & I think we wish we all had another each. The chicken thigh dish was a salad of sorts but went well with the carrot salad. The risotto was rich & creamy. The calamari was disappointing- it didn't feel like the flavours went together & the dish was too wide so it got cold quite quickly. Highly recommend this spot!
