Cafeden offers a warm, modern vibe with a terrace and a unique fusion of Peruvian and Vietnamese cuisines. The menu features fresh ceviche and papaya salad, plus crowd pleasers like lomo saltado, egg rolls, gyoza, tuna crudo, bao and other creative, well presented dishes, with desserts and cocktails that many praise for balance and presentation. The overall dining experience is described as attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere, with some reviewers calling Cafeden a standout in Montreal and noting great birthday touches or celebrations. However, a subset of reviews points to changes in ownership impacting flavor and consistency, some dishes tasting bland or not up to past standards, and mixed experiences regarding service or value. Overall Cafeden is seen as a distinctive, travel inspired dining destination in Montreal worth trying for the fusion concept, vibrant cocktails, and warm ambiance, while diners are advised to check current quality and expect variability.
I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. I was asked to wait for my order, but it ended up taking about 30 minutes, which is much longer than expected. There was no clear communication or update about the delay. Waiting this long without any explanation was frustrating. I hope the restaurant improves their service & manages orders more efficiently in the future.

Very nice variety of dishes to choose from the menu. Server was amazing recommending his favorites & making sure we were not missing anything. The place looked clean & the atmosphere was great. The egg rolls, the lomo saltado, & the vanilla & chocolate flan dessert were especially bomb.
Best restaurant tried in MTL in a long time - will be back often & already going back this week. Food drinks & service impeccable!!! Must try. I cannot believe it's been there for years & I hadn't tried until now.
Went there yesterday for my birthday & it was a super great experience
They are nice, cheerful, the food was super good & they offered my a drink & a cake for my birthday. It was super nice from them.
The waiter was also great. 👌🏾
It was a great experience & I will definitively come back. I highly recommend the place 🥰🥰🥰
The food was delicious & the service was great. Amazing portion sizes too! We had the causita (delicious) the calamari (amazing), the gyoza & tuna crudo (both were good).
On ressent le véritable goût péruvien dans les conchas a la chalaca que j'ai commandées, absolument délicieuses ! 😍
Les cocktails m'ont beaucoup plu, la présentation & la décoration étaient uniques. 🍹✨Le service & l'attention m'ont donné confiance pour commander tranquillement, vraiment A1. Le plus agréable est qu'ils ont une terrasse, un vrai plus que j'ai adoré. 🌿☀?
Un véritable bijou caché à Montréal.
Cafeden offre une combinaison unique entre la cuisine péruvienne & vietnamienne. Les saveurs sont fraîches, authentiques & parfaitement équilibrées - chaque plat est préparé avec soin & créativité.
L'ambiance est chaleureuse & moderne, idéale autant pour un repas en couple que pour une sortie entre amis. Le service est attentionné & sympathique, avec d'excellentes recommandations.
Je recommande particulièrement le ceviche péruvien, d'une fraîcheur incroyable, ainsi que les plats vietnamiens comme le ph? & les rouleaux, qui étaient délicieux.
Un mot spécial pour le bartender, vraiment talentueux : ses cocktails sont originaux, parfaitement équilibrés & apportent une touche exceptionnelle à l'expérience. Bravo ! 👏🍹
Un endroit où je reviendrai sans hésiter, car il nous fait voyager à travers deux cultures riches en saveurs, tout en gardant le charme de Montréal.

We had an unforgettable experience celebrating my birthday here! The food was absolutely delicious - I highly recommend the beef with ginger & the papaya salad. As a lovely surprise, they treated me to a birthday cocktail & a scoop of amazing vanilla & coconut ice cream - such a thoughtful touch!
What truly made the night special was the incredible service. Denis, our waiter, was exceptionally kind, warm, & attentive - he genuinely made our evening memorable. The chef also chatted with us - so friendly & welcoming.
The ambiance is cozy & beautifully decorated, & the cocktails were fantastic - especially the passion fruit margarita, which was next-level good.
Huge thanks to the whole team for making my birthday so special. I'll definitely be coming back!
