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.

Stellar meal. Dishes were on point. Good value for money. Service was friendly & attentive without being overbearing. Varied winelist offering options for all tastes & budgets. A little noisy but still a pleasant experience.

🧆 Une belle ambiance règne au Cadet où les serveurs vous accueillent avec une sympathie & une serviabilité exemplaire. On regrette les bières servies en canette & les portions qui ont diminué (pas le prix), mais les excellents tapas vous font vite oublier ces petites déceptions ! Ici, les légumes sont revisités avec gourmandise & les viandes fondent en bouche... En famille ou entre amis, le Cadet conquiert donc les coeurs de ceux qui aiment partager un repas convivial dans un lieu chaleureux.

Ambiance feutrée très agréable! La nourriture est délicieuse & le service est attentionné. Je recommande de prendre 3 plats / personnes puisque les portions sont raisonnables.

C'était ma quatrième ou cinquième fois au Cadet & hélas je ne crois pas y retourner. Déjà nous étions mal installées pour 5, la personne au bout était très inconfortable. De plus, Payer plus de 80$ pour avoir tellement faim en revenant chez moi que je dois manger c'est un peu ridicule... Un plat de gnocchis avec 6-8 petits gnocchis frits & secs avec une cuillère à soupe de porc pour 25$... Quelques choux fleurs pas mauvais mais rien de spécial... une croquette de morue (bonne) & 2 drinks. Un service vraiment inattentif. Pas capable de nous dire si oui ou non il y a des produits laitiers ou pas dans les plats, ma copine a fini par prendre ses médicaments contre l'intolérance car elle ne savait plus, vu l'information contradictoire. On a demandé des brocolis, on est 5 à avoir entendu qu'on l'a demandé & le serveur nous dit que non... lololol. En plus on a poliment mais clairement exprimé des insatisfactions mais on n'a eu aucune compensation. Pas de réduction, même pas un petit shooter. Désolée mais ce n'est vraiment pas a la hauteur. Dommage j'aimais ce restaurant. Mais ça n'a vraiment plus rien à voir avec ce que c'était.

What an amazing restaurant. We are in Montreal for a weekend visit & had the best meal in a very long time at Cadet (our first but not last visit). Plates are smaller for sharing, tapas style. We ordered 5 dishes & 2 desserts for 2 people. Total bill with 2 bottles of sparkling water (no alcohol) came to $160 before tip. Every bite was delicious & prepared to perfection, & the service attentive, friendly & quick. The atmosphere a perfect mix of lively while still being able to hold a conversation. We will definitely come back here & highly recommend Cadet for a great experience. We had the following dishes, which I would all highly recommend: - Lobster & shrimp - Fennel & citrus salad - Scallop ceviche - Gnocchi with pork - Broccoli & spaetzle - Bread pudding - Lemon Yuzu ganache
