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.

Another great spot to check out in Montreal. The service was friendly & smooth from start to finish, & the food overall was solid.

It was a delicious meal with some really fun flavour combinations. You can tell they're going for something a bit more creative & experimental with their menu, which I appreciate. The black cod was definitely the highlight. It was fresh & tender. The sauce leaned sweeter than I typically go for, but the fish itself was excellent quality.

That said, it didn't quite have that wow factor that makes a meal unforgettable.

Still, it's a good spot for sharing tapas style dishes & trying something playful. Would recommend giving it a go if you're in the area.

Vorweg gesagt: Das Essen ist gut.
Auch der Service ist freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Ambiente ist modern und stylisch.
Jedoch gibt es Abzüge:
Zu lange auf das Essen gewartet.
Wasser schmeckt nach Chlor.
Fleisch des Tatar schmeckte penetrant nach Pilz.
Spicy Soße des Fischkroketten war zu scharf - passte nicht.
Ansonsten OK. Preis-Leistung durchschnittlich.

4.0

Gutes Restaurant mit teilweise guten Gerichten (insb. die vegetarischen). Es gibt jedoch eine kritische Punkte:
- Scallop und Tuna insgesamt zu fade. Das fängt beim Salz an. Die Portionsgrößen waren klein.
- es wird kein Wasser in Flaschen angeboten. Kein Europäer möchte zu seinem Essen das Chlor-Wasser trinken. Selbst in Huntsville auf dem Land gab Wasser aus Flaschen.
- aufgrund des Preisniveaus erwarte ich Servietten aus Stoff.
- das Focaccia hat wenig mit Original zu tun.
- Espresso schwach
- Sehr lautes Restaurant. Für ein Date wäre es völlig ungeeignet

Nous n'avons pas vraiment compris le concept du restaurant : les plats ont été apportés, mais il manquait des assiettes qui n'ont été servies qu'après un certain temps. L'ambiance était également difficile à apprécier à cause de la musique trop forte.

L'endroit a du potentiel & l'accueil était sympathique, mais il serait agréable de rendre l'expérience plus conviviale, notamment pour les familles.

vibe? cozy dark & great for a date. service? 10/10. food? OH MY WORD the best!! the sauce that's on the black cod was one of the best things i've ever tasted. we paired that with their grilled focaccia! so so yummy. we got the lamb chops with the risotto. again, the risotto is probably the best thing i've ever eaten. sad to say we're from the US so we can't come here all the time!! what a gem
