Review Summary

Bar Kabinet is widely celebrated for its chic, intimate atmosphere and stylish decor, making it a popular choice for drinks and social gatherings. Many patrons praise the expertly crafted cocktails, the thoughtful wine selection, and the welcoming nature of the staff. While the experience is frequently described as memorable and lively, opinions regarding the food remain varied. Some diners find the small plates flavorful and sophisticated, particularly highlighting the duck and caviar, while others feel the portions are underwhelming or the menu lacks consistency. Although service is often lauded for being attentive and knowledgeable, some guests have noted occasional lapses in timing or comfort issues due to the compact seating arrangements.

Drinks were good, food was good, but the service was subpar & the music/DJ was so incredibly loud you could barely hear the person next to you. One thing I ordered never even made it to the table, they just forgot. I even mentioned in my reservation that there was a birthday in the group & they didn't even acknowledge it. Once we got everything we never saw the server again. Overall a below average experience & I wouldn't go back.

Never been so disappointed with food.
We took the menu degustation, so tried several plates. No flavour & very bland. We were 12 people & we all left hungry.
Some plates were barely touched the waiters didn't wonder why. The fish smelled really bad as soon as the plate landed on the table. The dessert was a big flop too. I did not enjoy one single bite that night. How can a place not have one single good thing to eat? Portions are ridiculously small as well.

Malheureusement, je n'ai pas été complètement satisfaite de mon expérience au Kabinet. Nous avions réservé une table pour éviter le bar, mais on nous a placés sur des tabourets où mes pieds ne touchaient pas le sol. Ensuite, nous avons commandé le caviar avec du champagne. Quand j'ai posé des questions à la serveuse, elle m'a expliqué que le caviar n'était pas uniquement des oeufs d'esturgeon, mais un mélange avec d'autres oeufs, ce qui m'a surprise & ne m'a pas semblé approprié pour un service de caviar.

Le caviar a ensuite été oublié & notre repas a commencé avant qu'on nous le serve, ce qui a créé un problème avec le champagne, car nous avions déjà choisi du vin pour accompagner le repas. La nourriture était très bonne, mais le service de caviar m'a déçue :Les chips maison ne convenaient pas mais c'est une question de goût personnel.

J'ai terminé la soirée debout, car je ne pouvais plus rester assise sur le petit tabouret avec les pieds dans le vide. À cause de tous ces détails, je considère que mon expérience globale ne mérite que trois étoiles sur cinq.

The most pretentious & overrated place in Montreal so far. Food is disgusting for a hilarious price & tini tiny portions. Music is great, service is ok, decor is beautiful, but the overall it's ridiculously overpriced with poor quality
