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.

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.

Everything was the best we ever had. Unbelievably good!
Fingerling potatoes -- best we ever had.
Asparagus -- best we ever had ,, & the burnt tips made it all the more phenomenal.
Cod croquettes -- best we ever had.
Flank steak -- best we ever had.
Bread pudding -- (OMG!! I grew up loving bread pudding) -- best we ever had.

Excellent repas. Plats savoureux, bien balancés. Seule ombre au tableau, le vin: j'ai vu plusieurs bouteilles etre transvidées d'une à l'autre, à la vue de tous & sans gêne. Même chose pour quelques portos. J'ai eu le privilège de fréquenter différentes tables au Quebec, au Canada & ailleurs dans le monde & je n'ai jamais vu une telle pratique. Étonnant.

The food was good, I would give it a 7/10. The scallops were delicious, the flank steak was mediocre. But the service was atrocious. It was slow, it took the waiter over 30 minutes to take our order after we arrived. The drinks came out long after the food despite being ordered far in advance. My wife does not like raisins & asked if it was in the bread pudding. The waiter said no. When the bread pudding came out, not only were there lots of raisins, they were giant. She couldn't eat the dessert. When we told the waiter, he said sorry but didn't offer to replace it with another dessert or remove it from the bill. We ended up paying for a dessert she didn't eat due to the waiter's error that was not rectified. There are much better places to eat that will cost you less.
