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.

Très bonne cuisine, & service très sympathique. S'il fallait redire une chose, la salle est un peu bruyante.

This restaurant has an extensive & classy cocktail menu as well as a nice wine list. The food was delicious & each dish had multiple components. The portions were very small & since we were a party of 4, it was sometimes difficult to share the dishes since there was not enough of each ingredient to share. I highly recommend the fried sea bass with cabbage slaw. The service started out strong when the restaurant was empty but got worse as the night went on. It took a very long time for our water to be refilled once the restaurant filled up & we did not order dessert since we could not catch the waitress' attention for a long time. I enjoyed the flavour of all the dishes & it was clear that they were all meticulously crafted but the price was relatively high for what we got & I think that Montreal has plenty of comparable restaurants which are not as expensive. I'm glad I tried this place but I'm not sure if I will not return.

Do you like cilantro? Are you even indifferent about cilantro? If yes to either, get the "soap dedans!" cocktail. I am still thinking about it 24 hours later. Likely the best cocktail I have ever had. It was like a gin gimlet, less sweet, but super fresh & vegetal due to the cilantro. We had the beets, scallops, stuffed mushrooms, & broccoli spaetzle. The broccoli spaetzle was good, but the beets, scallops, & stuffed mushrooms were divine!

We have been going there for years. One of the top restaurants in Montreal. Consistently amazing. Great quality food with casual vibe. Tried many things on the menu & nothing disappoints. IMO as good or even better than some of the better known'top restos' in Montreal like Vin Mon Lapin, Joe Beef, Monarque, etc
