The customer service is excellent! The tapas are delicious, & the presentation & flavor of the cocktails exceeded my expectations 😎 absolutely amazing. The place is beautiful, the music, the lighting, & the cleanliness are all 10/10. You can really tell they are passionate about what they do because they pay attention to every detail to make the experience wonderful. Highly recommended!
I visited Cafeden yesterday evening. It was an amazing experience. I went for tapas & cocktails. Everything was so good & the server (young man) was a gem! I wish I would have asked for his name, I will when I go back because I sure will. Food arrived promptly, plates were taken away as soon as they noticed they were empty. Also, they would constantly make sure I was ok & ask if I wanted something else. I discovered the restaurant thanks to a promotional offer (Spectra). If someone else is going there as part of the Spectra deal, I would like to kindly & humbly suggest you tip them generously because the value & the service offered far exceeds the price you pay as part of the deal.
we went for the unlimited tapas & cocktails! very friendly servers, they made sure we got all the food (took a bit of time to come out sometimes) & the cocktails are great & so were the food, highly recommend the fish spring rolls & the causitas!!
fun experience for a date or dinner with friends 😁😁

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.
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!
