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 very good! I didn't enjoy my stay because I was in a hurry to eat quickly & leave by a certain time while half the time was wasted waiting for our food to arrive. The restaurant looks more like a lobby than a restaurant.

Food was alright & the service was actually incredible but this place is just wayyyyyy too expensive & the portion sizes are wayyyyy too small (wouldn't fill up a toddler)

Food was great just incredibly small portions. My experience was worsened by the fact the restaurant kept the thermostat at 25C!! That's crazy! I was watching the thermostat & sweating the whole time!

Une merveilleuse expérience dans cet établissement qui mériterait d'être Michelin. Le menu change en fonction des saisons & va vous surprendre par sa témérité. Le personnel est plus qu'exemplaire & la salle à manger d'un chic nouveau bourgeois décontracté qui saura vous plaire pour un 5@7, un rencart, ou une sortie épicurienne. Je recommande fortement le brocolis ainsi que la focaccia pour commencer. C'est une formule de type tapas donc des plats à partager ! Il y a une très belle carte des vins & si vous êtes amateurs de cocktails les barmans vont vous renverser ! Pour le stationnement : sur la rue c'est difficile avec la construction de Montréal. Je recommande le stationnement payant en face (25 à 30$) ou le transport en commun (métro Saint Laurent)

Everything was absolutely fantastic. Everyone there was so friendly, & the food tasted absolutely amazing. They have a huge wine list as well. I would highly recommend this place for a nice romantic evening.

Menu varié, juste assez fourni, plats excellents & surtout service impeccable. Rien de décevant, à recommander totalement.

Très agréable expérience, jusqu'à la présentation de la facture. La serveuse nous demande si nous sommes satisfaits. Surpris, nous lui disons que oui. & elle nous informe que notre pourboire ne reflète pas la satisfaction exprimée, & que le pourboire représente son salaire. Je me permets ici une petite leçon d'économie à son intention. Si nous pouvons toujours aller au restaurant, il reste que l'inflation & le prix de la nourriture font exploser les prix & que nous y devenons plus sensibles. Un pourcentage AVANT taxes est une pratique normale & acceptée. Nous ne payons les salaires, c'est la responsabilité du restaurant. J'ai un respect sans borne pour les métiers de bouche. Je trouve que ce sont des occupations difficiles & ingrates. Mais l'opinion de notre hôtesse sur notre manque de générosité est, franchement, le cadet de mes soucis. Merci à la responsable de la salle, qui a su gérer la situation avec grâce.

Dinner with work colleagues was a hit. Great food & amazing staff! Everything was tasty & well prepared. But must try the broccoli & the mushroom salad.

Le service était exceptionnelle, je n'aurais pas mis des pommes & seulement deux petits morceaux de magret de canard dans un plat de 50$, mais le gout était présent & comme experience culinaire c'était bien mais il y a place à l'amélioration, le reste était usuelle.
