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.
Excellent Peruvian & Vietnam fusion! Family run restaurant with excellent service. We had multiple tapas & drinks. The drinks were spot on! The food was very well presented & tasty. Highly recommend to try this place.
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 😁😁
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 ❤?

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 🥰🥰🥰
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!
First time we are hungry after eating a pho 😕
Not only was it not particularly good (bordering on having a bad taste) , there was almost no noodle & as often not that much beef, just lots of soy beans.
For 19$ pre tax the pho & given it is a very casual type of dining experience, I cannot recommend. There are much better options at this price point. Service was ok.
Will not return.
"Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle ! Les plats étaient savoureux, parfaitement présentés & réalisés avec des produits de qualité. Le service était chaleureux & attentionné, créant une ambiance conviviale & élégante à la fois. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant pour un moment gourmand & raffiné."

Hier, je suis arrivé à l'ouverture. Petit resto''branché'' avec mobilier foncé & pas très bien éclairé à l'endroit ou j'étais assis. Prise en charge rapide par le jeune homme qui faisait office de barman & de serveur qui m' a servi un excellent cocktail. Je m'attendai à retrouver une équipe d'asiatiques mais il n'y en avait aucun. Tout le personnel aussi bien en salle qu'en cuisine était caucasien. Plus tard le nouveau propriétaire du restaurant, un québécois d'origine péruvienne, est venu me voir & il m'a dit qu'il venait d'acheter le restaurant. Il m'a dit également qu'il avait dans ses plans d'ajouter des mets péruviens au menu, plus spécifiquement des mets de style fusion péruvien/asiatiques. J'ai pu discuter avec les deux membres de l'équipe en cuisine, car j'étais assis devant eux, & ils étaient tous les deux d'une grande gentillesse & très sympathiques. J'ai commandé les rouleaux frits qu'on m'a recommandé de manger à l'intérieur d'une grande feuille de salade mais j'ai préféré les manger sans. Les rouleaux étaient délicieux quoique relevés. J'ai commandé la salade de papaye (la meilleure que j'ai mangée), les gyozas au porc & à la ciboulette (excellents), les deux sortes d'ailes de poulet (avec des saveurs qui nous font voyager quoique je préfère mes ailes plus charnues) ainsi que les crevettes grillées. Le service était rapide tout le long de mon repas sauf pour les crevettes pour lesquelles j'ai du attendre assez longtemps. C'était la première fois que je me rendais à ce restaurant. J'aurais souhaité m'y rendre bien avant afin de comparer la cuisine sous l'ancienne administration & celle de la nouvelle. Personnellement, je recommande les gyozas, les ailes de poulet & la salade de papaye.
Nice décor good atmosphere! Beautiful discovery on their menu , papaya salad is a must try ! Beef tataki was delicious, the cod spring roll was a nice experience! Do not recommend the fried squid rings ...
Sincèrement un des meilleurs endroits où j'ai mangé! Ambiance tamisée, happening & le fun! La nourriture est excellente & goûteuse!! Leurs choix de cocktails signature sont 10/10!! Une belle expérience culinaire & un bel endroit pour une date!!Le staff crew est awesome !!Je recommande à tous!!
