We loved it here. The food is really inventive & unusual & each plate was amazing. Courgette with chicken skin, Asian style fish & a mushroom salad; all fantastic. Great wine. Really lovely waiter who was spot on. Well done everyone!

Every bite here is just a bomb of flavor & comfort. Really really good. Like, spooning up the remaining sauce on our plates & ripping the head off the fish carcass to dig out more bits.

Hands down THE best meals we had while in Montreal. (I came several times & often after leaving more expensive less satisfying restaurants)

& that's before getting to the stellar wine/drink menu, replete with GOOD non alcoholic options. Wonderful curation of nerdy, interesting & TASTY wines.

Special shoutout to our phenomenal dreadlocked server who had a way of explaining the food/menu/drinks & checking in that didn't feel overbearing, too wordy, or awkward... just kind & attentive.

Recommended: cod croquette, broccoli & spatzle, whole fried fish, & the miso black food

We had 7 or 8 sharing plates between the four us & every dish was just delicious. The wine list is extensive & the two bottles we had were very very good. The vibe is amazing & our server was just so good. Very much worth a visit.

Excellent food. Creative menu. I believe it was Michelin recommended.
Right next to Saint-Laurent metro. Casual vibe but great also for special occasions.
Staff is very nice. It's fun to sit by the window & watch people walk outside. The bar seating seems comfy as well.
Only comment is that it was on the pricier side for what you get. We did not mind & will be back for sure. They change the menu once in a while so its fun to try new dishes.
Big wine list as well.

Excellent by-the-bottle wine program & better than average by-the-glass program. They had a decent variety of vegetarian items but only in the small plates section of the menu; nevertheless every bite made my tastebuds happy. I was worried that I wasnt going to be full because the portions looked on the small side, but I left satisfied & the food wasn't heavy or salty or weighing me down. Fresh plates between courses, clean counterspace maintenance, & no empty dishes cluttering our dining surface. The schnitzel was a particular favorite.

Excellent dining experience. We came early, & our table was ready so we were seated right away. Amazing for a Friday night. Food was incredible. We had the croquettes, the leeks, calamari, focaccia, tartare & black miso cod. We will be talking about the calamari & that sauce (get the bread at the same time as this dish) for the rest of our lives. Sevice was attentive, & very helpful with questions about wine & the menu. So glad we came here. Great date spot.

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

One of my favorite meals - we were blown away by all the flavors & textures. We ordered the oysters, focaccia, asparagus (amazing!!) & lamb. Our server helped us narrow down the right wine selection as well. Every bite up until dessert was perfection. What a great spot!

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.
