Review Summary

Cadet offers a highly regarded dining experience in Montreal, centered around a creative, shareable tapas-style menu that features sophisticated, well-executed French-inspired cuisine. Many diners praise the flavorful and thoughtful dishes, particularly the black cod, focaccia, and various vegetable preparations, noting that the restaurant maintains consistent quality and a vibrant, modern atmosphere. While the service is frequently described as warm, attentive, and professional, some visitors have encountered inconsistencies regarding pacing, noise levels, and portion sizes. The restaurant is widely considered an excellent choice for dates, celebrations, and pre-show dinners, though guests are encouraged to plan ahead with reservations due to its popularity.

The food was good, I would give it a 7/10. The scallops were delicious, the flank steak was mediocre. But the service was atrocious. It was slow, it took the waiter over 30 minutes to take our order after we arrived. The drinks came out long after the food despite being ordered far in advance. My wife does not like raisins & asked if it was in the bread pudding. The waiter said no. When the bread pudding came out, not only were there lots of raisins, they were giant. She couldn't eat the dessert. When we told the waiter, he said sorry but didn't offer to replace it with another dessert or remove it from the bill. We ended up paying for a dessert she didn't eat due to the waiter's error that was not rectified. There are much better places to eat that will cost you less.

One of the best meals I've had in Montreal. Worth the money & exceptional value. Great for a date night in a cool part of the city.

The Focaccia was delicious. Soft with a slightly crisp crust. The accompanying cheddar & spicy oil sauce was amazing.

The leeks with smoked mackerel, mustard, & tobikko were also very delicious. Though the portion was a bit small for the price, & did leave me desiring a bit more. I could easily eat three of these.

The flank steak was very good. The szechuan pepper sauce was heavenly, but the burnt chili salsa left a slightly bitter note, & the pickled peppers were a bit too sweet & reminded me of hot dog relish. I could do without some of those elements.

The pavlova was very good. A sensational experience. Warm & cold. Crunchy & soft. Dry & wet. All in the same bite. Very pleasant finish to what was a great meal.

So so magically delicious. We ordered a variety of dishes & tried a couple of drinks each & every single one amazed. I will be thinking about that miso black cod FOREVER. I highly recommend getting the oysters, their house sauce pairs very well with them. The service was absolutely lovely & very accommodating. I docked a point for atmosphere just because it was a bit too loud at times. Well worth the visit!

Cuisine succulente, surprenante. Des plats que je ne pourrais pas reproduire à la maison. & que dire de l'excellent service par toute l'équipe. Nous n'avons manqué de rien. J'y suis allée souvent à deux, mais à trois ou à quatre, c'est encore mieux pour découvrir plus de plats. Les calmars grillés, les pétoncles, les betteraves , les asperges & le pavlova nous ont enchanté!! Merci tellement!

Nice restaurant, several beautiful dishes to share. Excellent, well balanced dishes executed with attention to detail & creativity. Three main theme of vegetables/vegeterian, meat, & seafood to chose from.

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
