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.

Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious! The sauces & seasonings were really tasty. Too bad we did not have space for dessert in the end...

Place has a lot of wine choices & a full bar. The menu has a variety of vegetarian, Seafood & red meat dishes as well as appetizers. We have a few of each category. By far, the best options we tried were the vegetarian & the seafood options. A notable mention was the sea bass & the calamari. Everything we tried was good however. The service was on point, courteous, prompt & the waiter came to check on us frequently. We never ran out of water. The service was also quite quick as they are used to getting people who come in then go to a show after, so the service is built around that. The desserts were tasty but not very creative. Of notable mention the yuzu deconstructed dessert. I would go back here for the quality, the food & the service.

Food was outstanding! Really amazing & always an interesting twist to their dishes. Go there with an open mind & open tastebuds & you will not be disappointed! Service was on the slower side but it was also really busy so there is that...

Impeccable service. Perfect ambiance. Every bite delicious, The cheesecake was so good albeit a little too dense. The gorgeous za'atar lamb chops could stand completely on their own. No need for the sauce, even though it was delicious, too. Everything else was completely perfect - the stuff that food dreams are made of. I can't wait to go back.

La nourriture est très bonne! La formule parfaite pour goûter à plusieurs plats & partager un repas entre amis/famille/couple. Le service était un peu long, mais rien de trop dérangeant.
