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.

This was a highlight of a recent trip to Montreal. Sat at the bar. Had friendly but not intrusive service. Food was incredible. Wine suggestions were well matched & reasonably priced. Definitely check this place out.

I had a mixed experience at Cadet. While some dishes were spectacular (the fennel salad, broccoli, steak tartare), some were confusingly flat & lacking depth of flavour (tomato salad, calamari, chicken thighs). The chocolate tart was decent. Service was exceptional. I may give it another shot but I was a little bit disappointed.

Great wine selection, wish their dishes were more vegan friendly, but the kitchen was still very accommodating. Would come back next time I’m in Montreal!

The server was nice, & the atmosphere was nice as well. The food was well presented, but a lot of the flavors were mute. The dessert was amazing tho.
Would recommend trying it once. Also AVOID the salad in the corner of the image. Idk who said orange in a salad was good

Very vibrant & fun atmosphere. Staff is quick & know their food/cocktail/wine menus very well. Every single plate was flavourful & tasty. I recommend coming here over Bouillon Bilk ! More fun ;)

Had a great meal last Friday night with my wife as we were up visiting for a long weekend for her birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here & the staff & service too. The oysters were unreal - super fresh, petite, plump, briny, etc. - & then the fennel salad & chicken thighs were great too. We ended with the cheesecake for dessert. Also the cocktails all evening were delicious & we'll be stopping in every future visit to Montreal.
