Cadet propose une expérience culinaire très appréciée à Montréal, axée sur un menu créatif de type tapas à partager qui met en valeur une cuisine d'inspiration française raffinée et bien exécutée. De nombreux convives louent la qualité et la finesse des plats, notamment la morue charbonnière, la focaccia et les diverses préparations de légumes, tout en soulignant une constance dans la qualité et une atmosphère moderne et dynamique. Bien que le service soit souvent décrit comme chaleureux, attentionné et professionnel, certains visiteurs ont noté des irrégularités concernant le rythme du repas, le niveau sonore ou la taille des portions. L'établissement est largement considéré comme un excellent choix pour les sorties en amoureux, les célébrations ou les dîners avant un spectacle, bien qu'il soit fortement conseillé de réserver à l'avance en raison de sa popularité.
We order focaccia bread, cod croquette & 3 different salad as there's not many vegetarian options.
The focaccia bread is home made accompanied by a mild spicy sauce, which we find a nice touch to reduce the burnt-ish flavor off some parts of the bread.
We continued with the beet salad, & it is excellently delicious - very well executed. The dressing sauce definitely makes this dish a die-for for us!
Then comes the oyster mushroom salad. We found it less impressive than the beet salad, but the taste is quite nice with fresh touch of sliced pears harmonizing flavors.
The eggplant plate is, however, quite disappointing despite its beautiful presentation. We found it overly salty & the flavor pair seems a bit odd - spicy jalapeno + tangy pomegranate - that doesn't go well for us.
Last but not least, the cod croquette put a nice ending to our meal - it is flavorful & crispy when being dipped into yummy mayonnaise sauce.
The waiters were kind but it seems that we received less attention than other tables around us because we didn't order anything to drink. When we finished our meal, no one came to check on us to ask for desserts or coffee. & we had to wave our hands to get someone's attention for the bill.
Overall, our experience was pleasant & we enjoyed the ambiance.
The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between elegant & relaxed - a welcome contrast to the bustling city. It gave us the space to actually unwind & have a proper conversation, which is often rare these days.
The food? Absolutely divine. We shared a beautifully prepared plate of black cod, which practically melted in our mouths. Alongside it, we enjoyed their soft & savoury focaccia, tender scallops, perfectly cooked oyster mushrooms, & some of the best calamari I've had in ages.
What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional service. As someone who's lactose intolerant, I'm used to a bit of back-&-forth when dining out - but not here. The waiting staff kindly curated a personalized list of everything on the menu I could enjoy without worry, & I was incredibly grateful for that extra care.
All in all, Cadet is an absolute must if you're after a delicious, mindful dining experience in Montreal. Highly recommend for a memorable night out!

Great atmosphere, great food.
This is the place where dishes are expected to be shared , hence, the size is not big, so order more than one per person. I actually like it that way, more fun.
The beet salad was brilliant. Mix of different salad leaves, radishes, beets, goat cheese - everything worked out perfectly together.
The squid was prepared masterfully.
Foccacia nicely charred. The only thing I suggest to skip is cod croquettes, too chewy.
Good wine list.
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.
