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.

Everything was perfect. We will talk about the cod for years as one of the best things we've eaten. Sat at the bar & it was a great experience. Service was exquisite. We had high expectations & Cadet well exceeded them.

Food was spectacular. The place looked wonderful. Our server was however extremely rude & looked annoyed to serve us. Rolled his eyes at us when we asked for straws & more water, after ignoring our request & us asking multiple times

We had a fantastic experience at Cadet, it exceeded my expectations. The service was great, the ambiance was lively but also relaxed, & the food was outstanding. We had a perfectly coursed 3 course meal. The black cod was the standout dish. I also went to Mon Lapin on this trip & preferred my experience & the food here.
