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.
So so magically delicious. We ordered a variety of dishes & tried a couple of drinks each & every single one amazed. I will be thinking about that miso black cod FOREVER. I highly recommend getting the oysters, their house sauce pairs very well with them. The service was absolutely lovely & very accommodating. I docked a point for atmosphere just because it was a bit too loud at times. Well worth the visit!
Nice restaurant, several beautiful dishes to share. Excellent, well balanced dishes executed with attention to detail & creativity. Three main theme of vegetables/vegeterian, meat, & seafood to chose from.
The food was pretty average, there weren't any particularly new or distinctive flavors. The ingredient combinations in each dish felt quite common, & the flavors themselves didn't seem especially high quality. One of the dishes we ordered was their signature fried seabass, & its stomach was stuffed with a vegetable mixture that tasted nearly rotten. The service also was at a very medium level. The servers need better training.

The menu was very creative. All dishes were expertly executed. Prices were reasonable. Portion size enables sampling. Service was attentive & warm. Noise level was good. A bit of an open room dining experience but still a comfortable atmosphere.
Food & service were outstanding. I can understand why this is a Michelin Guide creative food recommendation. Dishes are offered tapas style & everything we tried was exceptional. The squid was by far our favorite & I would skip the broccoli & spaetzel. We had to order the focaccia to enjoy the rest of the sauce but the dipping sauce with the focaccia was also delectable. I will definitely be back to try more dishes.
Tried this place last night & overall it was a mixed experience. The restaurant itself is very nice & the atmosphere is enjoyable. The sommelier recommended a bottle of wine that we really liked; however, after asking to see two bottles around the $85 range, we were presented with one priced at $120. We decided to go with it & did enjoy the wine, but the upsell was a bit surprising.
We ordered four dishes to share. We started with the butternut squash, which was pretty good & well prepared. The lamb T-bone was very tasty & well seasoned, but unfortunately about half of it was fat, which took away from the enjoyment. When we mentioned this to our waitress, she was very professional & immediately offered for us to choose another item from the menu at no charge, which we appreciated. The side of fingerling potatoes, however, was undercooked & disappointing. We finished with the chocolate tart, which was excellent & easily the highlight of the meal.
Overall, there were some strong points, & the service handled the issue with the lamb very well, but a few execution & value concerns kept it from being a great experience.
The whole time my husband & I were there we had very poor service. It took more than 15 minutes for us to have someone take our order. From there once we received the food roughly 20 minutes later the waiter & waitress did not check in on us once. Never came to ask how we are enjoying the meal or if they can bring us anything. Once we finished our meals the servers never once came by to clear our table & remove the dishes. They never offered us a dessert menu & never approached us. This is the worst service I have ever received, especially for a Michelin star restaurant. We had to wave down a waiter to get a bill, otherwise it seems like no one would've came & ask or check.
The food was mediocre at best, we had the chicken wings to share which was decent. But my husband had the steak & it was not very good, he noted it was cooked strangely & it was chewy. The flavors did not make sense with chutney & Szechuan. & I had the market price fish & it was tasty at the time but later that night I had been glued to the toilet. The whole time I've been at Montreal & eaten all sorts of food this is the only place that made me feel sick physically after.
I also noticed that after my husband & I left that there was a coat check at the front, something nobody offered us? We noticed that the other tables received proper service having servers checking in on them regularly. & we were practically ignored the entire time we were at the restaurant. We were going to get a dessert but no one came to check on us for more than 20 minutes that we just wanted to leave.
Either way this is the worst service I've received anywhere, nonetheless a Michelin star restaurant. The food was mediocre, I will never come back to this restaurant & will never recommend anyone to come here.
Beautiful dining experience at Cadet! The food & service were impeccable. We were served by Zoe (for the second time) & she is amazing with very kind, patient, & informative service. All of the staff had great demeanours despite the dining room being very busy.
10/10 cocktails, wine list, food (the seafood dishes are mental, & always get whatever's on special), & dessert
Looking forward to my next visit!
Notre réservation était à 20h. Nous étions un groupe de 14 personnes & avions donc opté pour un menu à partager. Les premiers plats sont arrivés vers 20h45. Les portions étaient minuscules (presque misérables), & en plus, on nous a apporté 2 à 4 assiettes par plat pour toute la table (par exemple, 4 bols de 3 ailes de poulet chacun, soit 12 portions au total pour 14 personnes). Il a fallu attendre environ 25 minutes avant que les prochains plats ne soient servis. La serveuse, bien que gentille, était extrêmement lente. Nous avons dû lui demander 4 fois un seau à glace pour rafraîchir notre vin ; elle a fini par nous l'apportez, mais la bouteille était presque vide à ce moment. Obtenir de l'eau ou attirer l'attention du personnel était également un vrai parcours du combattant (ils font leur minimum & s'en vont sans même demander si tout va bien). La plupart d'entre nous ont fini par abandonner, désemparés. Deux petites salades, des ailes de poulet, un plat de poisson (avec à peine du poisson), un plat de courgettes papillon, & environs 150 $ plus tard (menu de groupe, boissons, taxes & pourboires compris), nous sommes repartis profondément déçus. Nous sommes repartis extrêmement déçus par les plats proposés, les portions, le goût & le service. J'y étais allé il y a une dizaine d'années & j'avais été tout aussi déçu. J'y suis retourné cette fois-ci pour l'anniversaire d'une amie &, malheureusement, la nourriture & le service n'étaient pas meilleurs (probablement pires). Je n'y remettrai jamais les pieds, même pas si on me payait !
Cerise sur le gâteau : pressé de partir, je suis allé régler l'addition avant même que la serveuse n'apporte les factures du reste de notre groupe. À peine cinq minutes plus tard, elle m'en apporte une autre. Je lui dis que je viens de payer la mienne, & elle semble perplexe. Je me souviens alors qu'il s'agissait de l'addition d'un ami, déjà réglée lorsqu'il est parti environ une heure auparavant (le service était interminable & il avait dû partir, il a donc payé & était parti).
Du vol pour dire le moindre !
-------------------------
Reservation was at 8pm, we were a group of 14 people so it was a sharing menu for all. First set of few dishes started coming at around 8:45pm, portions for extremely small (almost pityful), & on top of that they brought 2-4 dishes per item for the entire table (eg. 4 bowls of 3 chicken wings in each, total of 12, for a group of 14). There was about 25 mins wait time until the next set of few dishes came out. Waitress was kind was super slow, had to ask 4 times for an ice bucket to chill our wine - she finally brought it but the bottle was almost done by then. It was also a challenge to get water, or to get any of the staff's attention (they do what they have to & walk away without asking if everything is ok). Most of us gave up because it just felt hopeless. 2 small salad dishes, chicken wings, a fish dish (with barely any fish), a dish with butterflied zucchini, & about $150 later (group menu + drinks & taxes/tips), we left utterly disappointed in the suggested items, portions, taste, & service. I had gone there about 10 years ago & it was equally disappointing. I went this time for a friend's birthday & sadly, the restaurant's food & service was not any better (probably worse). You couldn't pay me to go back!
Cherry on top: I was anxious to leave so I went to pay the waitress before she brought everyone's bills. Barely 5 mins later she brings me another bill at my seat. I told her I just paid my bill & she seemed confused. I then remembered it was a friend's bill, which was already paid when he left about an hour prior (food was taking too long & he had to leave, so he paid the bill & left).
