My new favorite restaurant. Everything is on point & so delicious. Cocktails are the most delicious & strong which is what i like. Service is very attentive & they take personal not seriously. I will definitely go back to try more menu.
P.s. the only thing I should tell others is the dish is quite small. We ordered like 6 dishes + 1 dessert & 2 cocktails & I did not feel so full after & my body size is quite small. So i think u should order at least 3 dishes per person to be full or nearly full.View more

Found this place in the Michelin Guide. We were told 2 dishes per person would be sufficient, so we ordered 4 dishes plus a focaccia (for 2 people). This order was split into a 2 course serving, both of which took a while to arrive. Unfortunately, all the dishes we ordered turned out to be very small (except for the black cod), so the focaccia was absolutely necessary. I feel they should have recommended 3 dishes per person, as I believe without the focaccia we would have left the restaurant hungry (we didn't take dessert). The quality of the food was great, but the overall experience didn't give me the'wow' factor.View more

Exceptional Tapas & Wine Pairings at Cadet - A Must in Montreal
Located on Saint-Laurent Boulevard in the heart of Montreal's Quartier des Spectacles, Cadet is a vibrant & stylish restaurant that has earned its place among the Michelin-recommended gems of the city. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between casual & chic, making it ideal for a night out with friends or a pre-show dinner.
The menu features a variety of refined tapas-style plates designed for sharing. The standout for us was the black cod (morue charbonnière)-incredibly tender, beautifully caramelized, & full of delicate flavor. Each dish we tried was thoughtfully presented, with excellent attention to balance & texture.
One of the highlights of the experience was the wine pairing. The selections were expertly matched to each course, enhancing the flavors without overpowering them. It's clear that great care goes into curating both the food & beverage offerings.
For dessert, the chocolate, caramel, & banana tart was simply unforgettable-rich & indulgent without being too heavy.
The service was warm, knowledgeable, & genuinely welcoming. The staff made us feel right at home while guiding us through the menu.
In short, Cadet delivers a polished & memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for food lovers visiting Montreal.View more

Beautiful spot. We had read that the tables are a bit cramped so we chose to sit at the bar & it was the perfect choice. Lots of elbow room & fun to be up with the action.
We shared the hamachi, beef tartare, black cod & oyster mushrooms, as well as the chocolate tart. All but the hamachi were excellent - particularly the black cod & mushrooms. The hamachi was good, just not at the same level as the other dishes. Perhaps lacking a bit of zing for my taste.
The service was wonderful - attentive, helpful but not too much. The atmosphere is casual & elegant. You'd be as comfortable wearing jeans & a nice shirt as in business casual.
I've read others' negative comments about the size of dishes & have to disagree. We eat at sharing style restaurants quite often & found this to be very much in line -if not a bit more generous than many. Particularly with this level of culinary skill. Teh recommendation was for 4- 5 dishes between 2, & we were very content with just 4. We could have skipped dessert & been content but gave into the temptation & were glad we did!View more

Tapas style restaurant, nice place to share food.
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.View more

This restaurant has an extensive & classy cocktail menu as well as a nice wine list. The food was delicious & each dish had multiple components. The portions were very small & since we were a party of 4, it was sometimes difficult to share the dishes since there was not enough of each ingredient to share. I highly recommend the fried sea bass with cabbage slaw. The service started out strong when the restaurant was empty but got worse as the night went on. It took a very long time for our water to be refilled once the restaurant filled up & we did not order dessert since we could not catch the waitress' attention for a long time. I enjoyed the flavour of all the dishes & it was clear that they were all meticulously crafted but the price was relatively high for what we got & I think that Montreal has plenty of comparable restaurants which are not as expensive. I'm glad I tried this place but I'm not sure if I will not return.View more

Superbe découverte Le Cadet, situé sur Saint-Laurent pas loin de la Place des Arts. Menu intéressant, plats à partager, tous aussi délicieux les uns des autres. Cocktails de grande qualité & desserts sublimes. Bonne ambiance. À refaire. Highly recommend.View more

Our best meal in Montreal! The food & cocktails were stunning - highly recommend the focaccia with chili oil (we got two orders), the salmon dish with watermelon & yuzu, & the bread pudding for dessert (wow). Can't wait to come back & try more dishes!View more

Overall, cadet was pretty good & the service was really nice. However, don't be surprised at the size & price of the plates. 6 pieces of gnocchi in a bit of sauce for 24$. Portions are pretty small, we had to order one more dish to the already 2 we ate + the focaccia to be sustained Dessert was bomb tho ! Recommandation are the foccacia & the bread pudding for sure. The gnocchi & the beef tartare were pretty disappointing. They do have good cocktails.View more

Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle au restaurant Cadet. Nous avons commencé par le cocktail soap dedans, une petite touche sour couplé au gin. Suivis des pétoncles qui étaient succulentes, fondantes en bouche, & les calmars avec brocolis, absolument délicieux. Pour le dessert, la pavlova recommandée par Alexandre, le barman, accompagnée d'un vin mousseux Cerdon aux notes de fruits rouges, était une merveilleuse découverte. On a pris aussi deux vins blanc superbes - Guancibianca & Minérale +. Nous étions au comptoir, ce qui a rendu l'échange avec le personnel encore plus agréable. Le service était professionnel & chaleureux, avec des conseils avisés sur notre voyage au Québec. Une soirée inoubliable, nous recommandons vivement !View more

What a great experience - The vibe is very cool, good house music in the background, not too loud so conversation is easy. Our server was friendly, timely, & the wait staff are well coordinated. We started off with 2 house cocktails (gin / mezcal ) which were delicious, shared 3 plates, 2 glasses of wine & a dessert. The salmon & broccoli dishes were amazing, as was the bread pudding. The table next to us was raving about their plates too. Perfect amount of food to share for 2. Reasonably priced (under $200 with good tip) for food quality, presentation, service & location. We loved it - definitely go back to try other dishes on the menu.View more

One of my best dining experiences in Montreal. The unassuming exterior gives way to a classy dining room where you can see some of the kitchen at work. The menu is all about sharing & has both smaller plates & larger items. Standout dishes among a dinner that was made up of all winners were the oyster mushrooms, tomato & burrata salad, & duck. The duck includes foie gras & is counterbalanced with a selection of veg & pear that is quite unique. One small plate per person & a larger one between two will satisfy the not so hungry & keep space for dessert.View more

Plats à partager, deux plats par personne est suffisant. Restaurant gastronomique. Les plats sont originaux. Bel acceuil, le service a été bien, sauf à la fin, car de nouveaux clients arrivaient. Nous avons donc pas pris de dessert. La serveuse était vraiment gentille. Nous avons adoré nos plats & nous allons surement retourner à ce restaurant.View more

Service impécable, ambience décontracté mais festive (excellente sélection musicale) Nourriture savoureuse & menu créatif. Coups de coeur pour les Gnocchi Ricotta, l'entrée de Burrata & l'accord dessert & vincocktails, le crémeux au citron yuzu est délectable! Highly recommended.
Roger
Très belle soirée avec au menu: crabe des neiges, pétoncles en entrée. Suivi du tartare de boeuf ensuite les gnocchi & aux desserts : pouding au pain revisité avec glace à la crème sûre & en 2e la Crème citron yuzu, huile d'olive, babeurre & agrumes. Demandez toujours les recommandations des serveuses/serveurs, le menu change souvent & sais surprendre. Découverte : Bière Cadet brassée spécialement par la Microbrasserie À la Fût de St-Tite.View more

What an amazing restaurant. We are in Montreal for a weekend visit & had the best meal in a very long time at Cadet (our first but not last visit). Plates are smaller for sharing, tapas style. We ordered 5 dishes & 2 desserts for 2 people. Total bill with 2 bottles of sparkling water (no alcohol) came to $160 before tip. Every bite was delicious & prepared to perfection, & the service attentive, friendly & quick. The atmosphere a perfect mix of lively while still being able to hold a conversation. We will definitely come back here & highly recommend Cadet for a great experience. We had the following dishes, which I would all highly recommend: - Lobster & shrimp - Fennel & citrus salad - Scallop ceviche - Gnocchi with pork - Broccoli & spaetzle - Bread pudding - Lemon Yuzu ganacheView more

Avec mon conjoint nous avons découvert ce charmant restaurant un dimanche soir. L'ambiance était très calme & très agréable. Niveau service tout à était très bien présenté & très bien conseillé. Niveau nourriture : nous étions 2 & nous avons pris la focaccia, le choux fleur, la coppa, les brocolis & spatzel, & les gnocchis + la tarte au chocolat que l'on s'est partagé. Donc 5 "plats a partagés" & un dessert & ça nous a bien remplis le ventre, on aurait même pu se passer du dessert (ou d'un plat) donc je recommande de suivre les conseils des serveurs/serveuses quand à la quantité à commander. Tous les plats étaient vraiment savoureux, je recommande ce restaurantView more

Original & unique plates, every single one was spot clean after we were done. Everything we had was delicious, by order of preference : 1) Brocoli (house specialty, don't miss it but it is quite heavy) 2) scallops 3) beef tartare 4) salmon 5] lamb chops (despite being highly reviewed, we found it to be pretty basic & the least impressive yet still okay) 6) bread pudding (not great, would recommend trying another dessert)View more

I had an extraordinary dining experience at this restaurant today! The food quality surpassed my expectations, especially the exquisite fish croquette, perfectly paired wine, & the indulgent beef tartare & yuzu dessert left me speechless. The atmosphere was impeccable, with just the right lighting creating a cozy yet elegant ambiance. Despite being full, the place wasn't too loud, allowing for a delightful dining experience. The staff's expertise in service was evident - they consistently checked in, offered excellent suggestions, & made the entire evening truly memorable. A must-visit for any food enthusiast!View more

Place has a lot of wine choices & a full bar. The menu has a variety of vegetarian, Seafood & red meat dishes as well as appetizers. We have a few of each category. By far, the best options we tried were the vegetarian & the seafood options. A notable mention was the sea bass & the calamari. Everything we tried was good however. The service was on point, courteous, prompt & the waiter came to check on us frequently. We never ran out of water. The service was also quite quick as they are used to getting people who come in then go to a show after, so the service is built around that. The desserts were tasty but not very creative. Of notable mention the yuzu deconstructed dessert. I would go back here for the quality, the food & the service.View more

The server was nice, & the atmosphere was nice as well. The food was well presented, but a lot of the flavors were mute. The dessert was amazing tho.
Would recommend trying it once. Also AVOID the salad in the corner of the image. Idk who said orange in a salad was goodView more

Had a great meal last Friday night with my wife as we were up visiting for a long weekend for her birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here & the staff & service too. The oysters were unreal - super fresh, petite, plump, briny, etc. - & then the fennel salad & chicken thighs were great too. We ended with the cheesecake for dessert. Also the cocktails all evening were delicious & we'll be stopping in every future visit to Montreal.View more
