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.

Avec mon conjoint nous avons découvert ce charmant restaurant un dimanche soir. L'ambiance était très calme & très agréable. Niveau service tout à était très bien présenté & très bien conseillé. Niveau nourriture : nous étions 2 & nous avons pris la focaccia, le choux fleur, la coppa, les brocolis & spatzel, & les gnocchis + la tarte au chocolat que l'on s'est partagé. Donc 5 "plats a partagés" & un dessert & ça nous a bien remplis le ventre, on aurait même pu se passer du dessert (ou d'un plat) donc je recommande de suivre les conseils des serveurs/serveuses quand à la quantité à commander. Tous les plats étaient vraiment savoureux, je recommande ce restaurant

Wonderful! Absolutely fantastic dinner. The service was awesome , the drinks were fantastic & the food was beautifully balanced. We loved the broccoli, fennel salad, & cauliflower & focaccia. The drinks are wonderful & we had some fantastic red wine from the Loire Valley

Original & unique plates, every single one was spot clean after we were done. Everything we had was delicious, by order of preference : 1) Brocoli (house specialty, don't miss it but it is quite heavy) 2) scallops 3) beef tartare 4) salmon 5] lamb chops (despite being highly reviewed, we found it to be pretty basic & the least impressive yet still okay) 6) bread pudding (not great, would recommend trying another dessert)

Food id amazing, completely unexpected, the flavors are combined in a very unique way & they just blew our mind. The only comment we have is that the services was extremely slow & it took a long time for the waitress to take our order & come over to the table. She was very nice & we liked her a lot but just very slow. Just come with enough tine but COME, you won't regret it

I had an extraordinary dining experience at this restaurant today! The food quality surpassed my expectations, especially the exquisite fish croquette, perfectly paired wine, & the indulgent beef tartare & yuzu dessert left me speechless. The atmosphere was impeccable, with just the right lighting creating a cozy yet elegant ambiance. Despite being full, the place wasn't too loud, allowing for a delightful dining experience. The staff's expertise in service was evident - they consistently checked in, offered excellent suggestions, & made the entire evening truly memorable. A must-visit for any food enthusiast!
