Cadet offre un concept tapas à partager, avec une cuisine raffinée et créative mettant en valeur les fruits de mer et des plats bien présentés, dont la morue charbonnière, le calamar et une focaccia mémorable accompagnée de sauces qui marient les saveurs. L'ambiance est moderne et conviviale, et le service est chaleureux et attentif, bien que certaines visites aient été marquées par un rythme soutenu, des tables serrées et une attention variable. Globalement, c'est une adresse montréaltaine remarquable, recommandée pour une soirée en amoureux ou avant spectacle, avec des saveurs innovantes et un cadre qui invite au partage.
Last night's dinner at Cadet was incredible-the winter salad was a standout, unlike anything I've had before. The oysters, octopus, & cod croquettes were all delicious, paired perfectly with wine & a dirty martini. The calamari was chewy & oily. Not my fav. The ambiance was warm & inviting. However, the service was a letdown; our waitress seemed overly concerned about how much we were going to order, making the experience awkward. Despite that, the food alone makes Cadet worth it.
Based on reviews, we were excited to dine at Le Cadet. But - the experience did not live up to expectation at all. Service was neither attentive nor very present. Had to ask a few times to order a second drink. Food was very average - not at all the quality or innovation that was hyped. Calamari dish was drowning in luke warm chili oil & was on the cooler side of room temperature. Beef tartare had the taste & texture of aged beef, though not mentioned as such on the menu, & the service didn't seem to know how it was prepared when we asked. Cod croquettes were ok but a dish that could be found anywhere. Gnocci was ordered without ham (due to allergies) but came served with ham anyway. Broccoli & contre filet were tasty. The spicy sauce that accompanied the foccacia was overpowering for such delicate bread. The menu is served tapas-style, & it was recommended that we order 3 dishes per person. We ordered 2 per person, which was absolutely enough, & in hindsight was probably a few dishes too many. Atmosphere was a bit boring.
This.was the best meal we had in Montreal, by far. Favorites were the bright & fresh scallops, meltingly tender short ribs, & the fabulous lemony asparagus with ricotta. Everything we ordered was devoured. We also had the focaccia, cod croquettes, lobster roll, beets, broccoli spaetzle, & duck breast with foie gras.
I had one of the best dinners I had for a long time. Everything we tried was excellent: Leaks, focaccia, zucchini, cod crochet, calamari (was the best), alafut blonde (local Bier from a Quebec micro brewery). It's a fancy upscale restaurant. A little pricey but definitely worth it. You will not regret..
Our first destination meal in Montréal was a bit of a disappointment. The price of wine was prohibitive beyond one glass of their cheapest offering, & we barely scraped out a shared meal for $150.00 USD. The fennel salad was our favorite: fresh & bright with an original mix of flavors: very good! The cod croquettes were heavily fried, the calamari pretty standard & the oysters uneven. Attentive service helped brighten our time.
The place was full on a Sunday evening! We split 7 dishes between three people. The fingerling potatoes with chimichuri were deliciously crispy, the broccoli with labneh & the carrot salad were filling. We also had a cod croquette each & I think we wish we all had another each. The chicken thigh dish was a salad of sorts but went well with the carrot salad. The risotto was rich & creamy. The calamari was disappointing- it didn't feel like the flavours went together & the dish was too wide so it got cold quite quickly. Highly recommend this spot!

Never had a bad meal here. We don't really eat meat so can't pronounce myself on those dishes, but the broccoli spaetzle (still on the menu thank you!), fennel salad, tomato peach salad, eggplant dip, roasted fingerling, cod fritters - all succulent. Good wine selection too, overall no reason to not come back as much as possible. Yum!
