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.
Incredible experience from start to finish. Upscale dining done in a cool, unpretentious way. We enjoyed oysters, calamari, tartare, & duck. Food was exceptional! This is our new favorite in Montreal.

Good dinner at Cadet, the fried sea bass was delicious, & enjoyed the duck, tomato + burrata, & beets dishes. Gnocchi dish wasn't worth the price, I'd skip it. Chocolate tart was 100% worth it. Service felt a bit rushed, & the mains could have been paced better. Appreciated the non alcoholic drink options!
Visiting from out of town & was recommended to check out this place. The dishes are inventive & DELICIOUS. You won't find the same dish from elsewhere as they may it uniquely. as many reviewers have said this place is best. If you have someone to share your dishes with the portion varies but all of them share a common thing. They're all really good. It may seem the price is on the higher side, but when you think of the experience is comparable to a tasting menu. This is in fact a steal
Cadet is a fantastic spot for sharing delicious & sophisticated tapas-style dishes. The service is quick, professional, & efficient, making it an ideal choice for a pre-show dinner before heading to the orchestra or ballet. The only downside is that the tables are quite close to each other, so it can get a bit loud when it's crowded & depending on where you're seated. Overall, I still highly recommend it!
To the owner of Cadet, My partner & I are visiting the town from Auckland, New Zealand. We were impressed by our waiter, Rosemonde (Rose), & her service that made us feel at home. It was a perfect dining experience to bring home & tell our friends. She is a valuable asset to your restaurant, & you should consider a pay raise.
Superbe découverte Le Cadet, situé sur Saint-Laurent pas loin de la Place des Arts. Menu intéressant, plats à partager, tous aussi délicieux les uns des autres. Cocktails de grande qualité & desserts sublimes. Bonne ambiance. À refaire. Highly recommend.
Our best meal in Montreal! The food & cocktails were stunning - highly recommend the focaccia with chili oil (we got two orders), the salmon dish with watermelon & yuzu, & the bread pudding for dessert (wow). Can't wait to come back & try more dishes!
