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.

Unbelievable food & service considering we came in a big group. Tuna, Cod croquettes & beet salads were unreal. The fish is must try.

What a fantastic spot for a pre-show meal before heading to Place des Arts. The calamari is a standout-perfectly cooked with a sauce that's irresistible, especially when paired with their fresh bread for dipping. Our server was incredibly attentive & made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, making it ideal for sharing a meal with friends or a date. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Montreal!

So.... maybe I failed on taking photos of the dishes before we ate ... I think the empty plates speak volumes. This was a recommendation from a local... & they did not disappoint. Excellent sharing plates. We had a good number of them. They were inventive, whimsical & delicious! To note... the croquettes, the beet salad, the leeks, the broccoli.. the wine selection was extensive.. we chose a little known Sicilian white wine... it was excellent. The service was beyond reproach. Our server Mathilde made excellent recommendations. Her service was attentive without being overbearing & always with a smile. We will be back. Thank you again for an excellent experience! We will certainly recommend you to our friends. Andrew

The food is pretty good but the experience was definitely brought down by the quality of service of the servers. No hospitality felt & no technical habilities (would push our shoulders to pick up the plate or cross our plate with their arms). The level of service does not go with the price charged for the food.
