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.

Excellente cuisine ! Les plats sont tous surprenants, d'une très grande qualité. Le choix des vins est large. Le lieu est très convivial, vivant & adapté aux groupes. Nous avons passé un bon moment. Je recommande !

Messed up our order. One dish was totally burnt. Other dishes were good.

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.

Our first destination meal in Montréal was a bit of a disappointment. The price of wine was prohibitive beyond one glass of their cheapest offering, & we barely scraped out a shared meal for $150.00 USD. The fennel salad was our favorite: fresh & bright with an original mix of flavors: very good! The cod croquettes were heavily fried, the calamari pretty standard & the oysters uneven. Attentive service helped brighten our time.

The place was full on a Sunday evening! We split 7 dishes between three people. The fingerling potatoes with chimichuri were deliciously crispy, the broccoli with labneh & the carrot salad were filling. We also had a cod croquette each & I think we wish we all had another each. The chicken thigh dish was a salad of sorts but went well with the carrot salad. The risotto was rich & creamy. The calamari was disappointing- it didn't feel like the flavours went together & the dish was too wide so it got cold quite quickly. Highly recommend this spot!

Excellent restaurant, la nourriture était vraiment succulente, les plats très soignés, il y avait vraiment une recherche, nous avons adoré tous nos plats. La taille des assiettes était aussi largement suffisante. Ce qu'on a moins aimé c'est un petit peu le bruit, le restaurant était plein & c'est tout de même très bruyant. Aussi sur la carte des vins, je crois avoir compris qu'il y avait beaucoup de vins importés , qui ne sont pas toujours des succès on va dire, mais sinon dans l'ensemble c'est vraiment un restaurant que je recommande pour la qualité de la nourriture & des goûts particuliers, avec des mélanges très intéressants. Nos assiettes étaient par ailleurs magnifiques.

Never had a bad meal here. We don't really eat meat so can't pronounce myself on those dishes, but the broccoli spaetzle (still on the menu thank you!), fennel salad, tomato peach salad, eggplant dip, roasted fingerling, cod fritters - all succulent. Good wine selection too, overall no reason to not come back as much as possible. Yum!
