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.

Innovative, flavorful dishes in a buzzy atmosphere. The broccoli with spaetzle & the gnocchi with pork were standouts. Oh, & the oysters! Only dud was the tartare. Not bad, just boring.

Un accueil chaleureux & très professionnel. Une cuisine recherchée & très fine dans ses saveurs ! Je recommande fortement cette adresse sur Montréal ! Certains plats sont déjà entamés sur les photos, tellement la cuisine était bonne que j'en ai oublié de prendre la photo dès qu'ils m'ont été présentés. L'équipe cuisine fière de nous avoir régalés. Nous reviendrons....

What I like about Cadet is that you get excellent top notch cuisine & service, in an atmosphere that's more comfortable & less formal than equivalent high brow joints. Everything we ate last night was spectacular! The Beef short ribs was amazingly tender, melting in my mouth with a perfect combination of flavours. Even the broccoli dish was perfect.

One of the best restaurants I've been to in Montreal! Every dish was delicious, & I really recommend the fennel salad & lemon yuzu ganache. The service was excellent, & the price was surprisingly not too high considering the restaurant's high quality. I definitely hope to come back here again!

This was a dining experience. Small plate tapas style, the portions are perfect & designed for sharing for two people. Order at least 2 per person. The craft cocktails are amazing. Service was decent, a little slow but very friendly. Food came out fast & delicious.

We came around 9pm on a Sunday night for a late dinner, not expecting such a wonderful experience: the restaurant is airy & beautifully modern/industrial, the service was truly amazing & the food was creative & delicious (special mention to the grilled leeks with mackerel & salmon roe, & the squid in a divine white butter/chili sauce). Great selection of natural wines from all around the world. Overall incredible quality for the price (150 CAD for dinner for 2 with a glass of wine each), & a truly special experience.

Un excellent choix pour des plats à partager absolument délicieux, à prix abordable. Ambiance casual chic, avec un service impeccable. D'excellents choix dans la carte des vins également. Coups de coeur pour la bouffe : l'assette de brocolis & les croquettes de morue, mais tout était vraiment succulent.
