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.

Depuis des années, le Cadet est parfait. C'est l'endroit à aller pour une soirée réussi entre amis dans une ambiance sans prétention & sans immaturité. Les plats confectionnés avec soin ne déçoivent jamais & le service est impeccable, courtois & sympathique. On ne se tanne jamais d'y aller!

Cadet was EXCEPTIONAL!!! From the minute we arrived, we had a lovely greeting from the hostess who sat us by the window. The dining room is deceptively large as it widens the further back you go with a long bar along the side. It is a very modern, simplistic, light & airy look & vibe. Our waitress was personable, professional, & prompt which added to our wonderful dining experience. Our drinks were delicious & our meal was SUPERB!!! Every dish came out beautifully presented, amazing flavors, & delicious upon every bite. We look forward to our next visit & HIGHLY recommend!

The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between elegant & relaxed - a welcome contrast to the bustling city. It gave us the space to actually unwind & have a proper conversation, which is often rare these days.

The food? Absolutely divine. We shared a beautifully prepared plate of black cod, which practically melted in our mouths. Alongside it, we enjoyed their soft & savoury focaccia, tender scallops, perfectly cooked oyster mushrooms, & some of the best calamari I've had in ages.

What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional service. As someone who's lactose intolerant, I'm used to a bit of back-&-forth when dining out - but not here. The waiting staff kindly curated a personalized list of everything on the menu I could enjoy without worry, & I was incredibly grateful for that extra care.

All in all, Cadet is an absolute must if you're after a delicious, mindful dining experience in Montreal. Highly recommend for a memorable night out!

Suite aux excellent avis Google ,nous nous y sommes rendus hier soir.1ere impression : un vacarme incroyable .Il y a tellement de tables les une sur les autres que personne ne s entend parler .Impression de brouhaha insupportable.La cuisine est vraiment moyenne .A éviter les spaetzles avec des brocolis ainsi que le crabe.Je suis française,alsacienne & les spaetzles sont notre spécialité.L'association avec les brocolis & une sauce acidulée,pas terrible.Quant au crabe servi avec des morceaux de laitue 🙄 vraiment pas top.Sauce forte,le goût du crabe pas raffiné .Aucun vin ne nous a été proposés pour accompagner les plats .ils veulent juste que vous mangiez rapidement pour passer au service suivant Bref juste un endroit à la mode & dont la note est vraiment salée .Nous n'y retournerons pas 🤷🏻?♀?

Un véritable coup de coeur au coeur du Quartier des spectacles !
Le service est tout simplement impeccable, chaleureux & attentionné du début à la fin. Le menu propose une belle diversité de plats, parfaitement pensés pour plaire à tous les goûts. Le concept tapas est vraiment un atout : idéal pour partager & découvrir plusieurs saveurs. La carte des vins est également bien choisie, avec de belles suggestions pour accompagner chaque plat. Une adresse à retenir & à recommander sans hésiter !
