Review Summary

Cadet offers a highly regarded dining experience in Montreal, characterized by its creative, tapas-style menu that features well-executed dishes with global inspirations and balanced flavors. Many diners praise the quality of the food, particularly the black cod and focaccia, noting the innovative and seasonal approach to ingredients. While the ambiance is generally described as lively, stylish, and perfect for dates or sharing with groups, some visitors have noted that the space can become quite loud. Service quality is often highlighted as professional, friendly, and attentive, though there are inconsistent reports regarding speed and responsiveness, and some guests find the portion sizes small relative to the price.

Dishes are hit & miss The scallops were amazing. The snow crab pancakes were delicious except there was shell in the snow crab. The eggplant dish was not good. The cheesecake was fantastic.

Plats vraiment excellents, particulièrement le plat de calmars & celui de crabe. Belle surprise pour celui de brocoli, on est loin de brocos bouillis ! Gnoccis très bons, mais pas wow comme les 2 premiers. Service attentionné & sympa

Très belle soirée avec au menu: crabe des neiges, pétoncles en entrée. Suivi du tartare de boeuf ensuite les gnocchi & aux desserts : pouding au pain revisité avec glace à la crème sûre & en 2e la Crème citron yuzu, huile d'olive, babeurre & agrumes. Demandez toujours les recommandations des serveuses/serveurs, le menu change souvent & sais surprendre. Découverte : Bière Cadet brassée spécialement par la Microbrasserie À la Fût de St-Tite.

Excellent restaurant, cuisine inventive & parfaitement préparée. J'ai mis 4/5 à l'ambiance parce que la salle est assez bruyante mais on oublie vite tellement c'est bon !

I think this is a secret gem of Montreal. I went with a friend who is not a big food person & they loved it. The small plates were imaginative, beautiful & delicious. She ate one of the dishes with gusto - I've known her for decades & never saw her take such joy in food. I love to eat & I adored this place.
