Across reviews for Cafeden, the vibe is modern and warm with a striking bar, and the service is repeatedly praised as friendly, attentive, and efficient; guests enjoy a diverse Peruvian-Vietnamese menu with creative, well-presented dishes like ceviche, papaya salad, lomo saltado, bao, egg rolls, and calamari, along with inventive cocktails that are often highlighted as the stars of the night; the terrace and the lively atmosphere make it a popular spot for a night out with friends, and many say they would return; however a few notes of caution appear about longer waits when the dining room was slow or empty, and some feedback mentions changes in ownership or kitchen quality leading to inconsistent experiences; overall Cafeden is regarded as a standout option with strong drinks, flavorful food, and a welcoming vibe.
I got cheated by the staff - Invoice bears the name Silvana - that overcharged me almost 100% & I trusted them.
Debit was made for CAD 113.54 while the invoice was CAD 66.11 before tip. I recommend you check your facts. & indeed doubling the cost behind my back changes the overall review - Not the Food rating.
We had a really enjoyable experience. We came on a Thursday for a 5a7. The presentation of the drinks were so well done & the taste of the them were delicious, my favorite one was the Mojito. The food & service were great as well. Our waiter, Deny, was so kind & always came to our table to make sure we were taken care of. I definitely recommend this restaurant
Had a wonderful experience this past Wednesday at Cafeden :) my boyfriend & I visited to take advantage of the awesome $35 unlimited tapas + cocktails deal running on Wednesdays & Thursdays.
We arrived around 5:45 pm & were seated right away, & ordered our first cocktail. The team is small, but everyone is incredibly warm & friendly & made sure to check in with us consistently during our time at the restaurant, even as the place got busier & busier with other guests. We never felt rushed, & each got to try all of the tapas on the menu, as well never running low on cocktails.
The mojito is a standout, but all the drinks are poured generously & really tasty. We would absolutely return to Cafeden, & I'd 100% recommend it for a girl's night, a date, or an evening out with friends ❤?
It was our first time at CAFEDEN. We came during the tapas & cocktails special. The decor was modern, dark & trendy, with a beautiful bar centre-piece. The service was absolutely top-notch, the staff were genuinely friendly & super hard-working. The tapas were good (especially the causita), but the drinks were the star of the show. We tried the passion fruit cocktail, aperol, litchi cocktail, mojito; they were all beautifully presented, delicious, & not diluted at all. We plan on visiting again & bringing more friends as it's the perfect spot for a night-out.
Nous sommes venus célébrer l'anniversaire d'une de mes amies & tout était excellent. Denis nous a offert un service exceptionnel, tout comme le reste du personnel. La nourriture était délicieuse & les cocktails aussi. Nous avons passé une très belle soirée.
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.

j'ai passé une excellente soirée chez cafeden , l'ambiance est chaleureuse & moderne , parfaite pour dîner entre amis . la cuisine vietnamienne péruvienne est vraiment original & plein de saveur , j'ai particulièrement aimé la salade de papaye & le ceviche frais & bien équilibré , les plats sont créatif tout en restant gourmands & bien présentés .
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).
