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.

Bel ristorante d'atmosfera. La filosofia è quella dello sharing vari piattini per assaggiare più tipi di cibo. Tutto ben preparato e raffinato.

La nourriture est bonne mais la quantité est trop petite. Les plats sont inspirés & se démarquent par leur bons saveurs. D'ailleurs, des plats deviennent répétitifs en termes de goût & ingrédients. On trouve rapidement des saveurs & déclinaisons similaires. On s'attend à une addition assez élevée si on veut bien mangé. L'éclairage à l'intérieur était trop sombre & on voyait à peine les plats. Le service était d'ailleurs impeccable.

Service aux petits oignons & bons plats à partager.

Nous avons partagé le saumon, la pieuvre, l'agneau & les pleurotes & avons aimé tous les plats. Tout est savoureux & bien présenté. La pieuvre n'était pas un choix naturel pour nous, mais nous l'avons tenté & avons été agréablement surpris: pas du tout caoutchouteux. Je donnerais ma mention spéciale à l'agneau. Les portions sont petites, mais c'était suffisant. Nous avons également partagé le gâteau au fromage qui lui était bien, mais pas renversant.

Le service a été impeccable tout au long de la soirée. L'un de ces restos qui nous font penser qu'on est chanceux d'avoir un aussi bon service à Montréal, surtout comparativement à certains pays d'Europe.

Le restaurant était bien rempli en ce jeudi soir. C'était un peu bruyant, mais ça donne une ambiance branchée & un restaurant qu'on est heureux de fréquenter.

Bref, une très bonne adresse dans le Quartier des spectacles.

Ok. Certainly not as good as Bouillon Bilk.
Doesn't accept Amex, whereas Bouillon Bilk does.
Was a bit thrown off because I had not other form of payment... Would be nice to have been warned since sister restaurant recommended I try it.

Will not be back. Not bad value but don't bother... go to Vin Papillon or simply Bouillon Bilk instrad.
Staff very nice.

Went to a new restaurant in Montreal last night, Cadet at 1431 boulevard St. Laurent. It is the little brother of Bouillon Bilk. Wonderful tastes & presentation. Great prices & dishes made for sharing. Staff were attentive & knowledgeable. We left stuffed & happy. The sort of restaurant you can return to over & over. High marks overall!
