Review Summary

Cadet offers a highly regarded dining experience in Montreal, centered around a creative, shareable tapas-style menu that features sophisticated, well-executed French-inspired cuisine. Many diners praise the flavorful and thoughtful dishes, particularly the black cod, focaccia, and various vegetable preparations, noting that the restaurant maintains consistent quality and a vibrant, modern atmosphere. While the service is frequently described as warm, attentive, and professional, some visitors have encountered inconsistencies regarding pacing, noise levels, and portion sizes. The restaurant is widely considered an excellent choice for dates, celebrations, and pre-show dinners, though guests are encouraged to plan ahead with reservations due to its popularity.

Beef tartare was good. Otherwise, we were not impressed by the other plates we ordered (croquette morue, scallops & squash).

For being so expensive, the food kinda misses the mark. We got the beet salad, focaccia, the croquettes, the beef tartare & the lamb. Over all things were okay but the attention to details was missing. About half the lamb piece was fat which was kinda disappointing. The croquettes came with a sauce which was a little tasteless. Same with the sauce that came with the focaccia. We got a chocolate tart for dessert & it was okay. Not too bad. Can't go wrong with peanut butter & chocolate. The drinks were nice but the attention to detail was missing. Eg no cherries for old fashioneds. Like I get it different places make it different but if it's in the classic recipe & we're ordering a classic drink... would be nice to just include it in the drink. The service was wonderful & fast :)

The food was exquisite & we were very impressed by the service. This was our second visit to Cadet &, three years after our first meal there, we were happy to see that the restaurant maintains a high & consistent standard.

Outstanding, highly recommend. Cocktails ok, not great, but that's pretty typical for Montreal. Food is *exceptional*. Go!

Fun for a date night & fairly affordable. Leeks, zucchini & chocolate tart were fantastic. We also had the shrimp, croquettes, & broccoli which were good. We had a little issue with one of the cocktails ordered but they took it back & remade it without hesitation when it was mentioned which I appreciate (the remake was good).
