Cadet in Montreal

Great French cuisine adjacent to the ice rink. You need reservations! Dietary restrictions: Yes just tell them Parking: St Laurent has limited parking and it is close to Saint Catherine which is closed to cars. Just park inside!

This restaurant was a wonderful discovery. Excellent food and good service too. Added to my list of favorite restaurants in Montreal.

Everything was good. Reasonable price. The squid is delicious.

Really very good romantic dinner. I invite you to take your time.

Great date place. Good food, good vibes

Excellent! Creative and tasty cuisine! Well done

Amazing food, drinks and service. The sea bass is a must have.

Very good food. I would avoid ordering the Octopus as it was pretty slimy no texture to the dish. Sauce was gooey, octopus was soft but I wish it was grilled crispier as the dish felt like I was eating mush. The tuna, scallop, focaccia and duck breast were the highlights of the dinner.

Figuadduppp amazing ducks heart attacks and all

Truly excellent!

Food was great thanks to chef Jordan ,the ambience was amazing will definitely be going back

The best restaurant I visited during my stay in Montreal Simply incredible

Amazing food and service!

Honestly fabulous as a concept It s been a long time since I ate this well in Montreal! The gnocchi were delicious The service is very warm

Great, cozy spot for delicious food! Ask your server for recommendations if in doubt, you wont be disappointed. Cocktails were wonderful also. I would like to try every menu option, I dont think Id be disappointed with any. Definitely plan to visit again if in the area!

Solid meal with bold flavours. Duck was stunning, calamari dish (in particular the saucing) exceptionally balanced. Fried Sea Bass a showstopper and beautifully de-boned tableside. Chocolate Tart was unmemorable (especially when compared to the fantastic starters/main) but didnt detract too much from the overall experience.

Must go.

Went theyre in Monday night before a show. The atmosphere was good and the waiters are nice. The food was good but nothing impressive. A little bit disappointed about the food temperature. Some plates arrived cold when its supposed to be warm.

We had a relatively large corporate group. Despite this the service was personable, prompt and attentive. The food was excellent. Definitely one of the most popular spots our team have enjoyed. I suspect we ll be back.

Excellent service, great food to share and they were sensitive with my dietary restrictions. Everything was timed perfectly and the server knew when to take care of us and when to give us our space.

Simply incredible.

The food is pretty good but the experience was definitely brought down by the quality of service of the servers. No hospitality felt and no technical habilities (would push our shoulders to pick up the plate or cross our plate with their arms). The level of service does not go with the price charged for the food.

Truly excellent! Everything was good. The server gave us wonderful recommendations and great wine pairings. I recommend!

Delicious

One of our best experiences in Canada, and even elsewhere. The food is sumptuous, worthy of a Michelin star, but the atmosphere remains friendly (dishes to share) with a professional but fun waitress. We had a wonderful birthday party thanks to Le Cadet.

We were a group of 14-15 and were welcomed wonderfully. I forgot the name of our waitress, but she made sure everything was perfect.

Our best meal in Montreal! The food and cocktails were stunning - highly recommend the focaccia with chili oil (we got two orders), the salmon dish with watermelon and yuzu, and the bread pudding for dessert (wow). Can t wait to come back and try more dishes!

Duck was a hit. The scallops were delicate and fresh but the sauces were a bit much. The salmon gravalox was nice but needed a bit more salt.

Superb discovery Le Cadet, located on Saint-Laurent not far from Place des Arts. Interesting menu, dishes to share, each equally delicious. High quality cocktails and sublime desserts. Good atmosphere. To do again. Highly recommended.

To the owner of Cadet, My partner and I are visiting the town from Auckland, New Zealand. We were impressed by our waiter, Rosemonde (Rose), and her service that made us feel at home. It was a perfect dining experience to bring home and tell our friends. She is a valuable asset to your restaurant, and you should consider a pay raise.

Cadet is a fantastic spot for sharing delicious and sophisticated tapas-style dishes. The service is quick, professional, and efficient, making it an ideal choice for a pre-show dinner before heading to the orchestra or ballet. The only downside is that the tables are quite close to each other, so it can get a bit loud when its crowded and depending on where youre seated. Overall, I still highly recommend it!

Incredible experience from start to finish. Upscale dining done in a cool, unpretentious way. We enjoyed oysters, calamari, tartare, and duck. Food was exceptional! This is our new favorite in Montreal.

One of the best restaurant meals in a long time. Everything was really excellent! Incredible flavors

Very good, not so expensive. Good report.

Very disappointed, we were really looking forward to trying this restaurant. When booking we mentioned my allergy to garlic but they did not seem to have taken it into account the only options that were offered to me were raw options (like ceviche/tartar) after several discussions and the fact that I was really surprised that there was no other option (after all there is a chef) I finally managed to have a small lobster roll which tasted good but had very little filling (3 small pieces of lobster). Very disappointed with our visit, they should have simply told us that they did not manage food allergies. Dietary restrictions: Garlic allergy.

Gorgeous! Thanks for the experience!

Delicious dishes in a relaxed atmosphere. The recommended wines were delicious and paired wonderfully with the dishes. Be at least 4 since you will want to taste each item on the menu! The service was impeccable, attentive and fast. An excellent evening, we will definitely return.

We went here for a night out this past Saturday and it was fantastic. The ambiance, the staff, service, food and drink were superb! We had 5 dishes and they were excellent. We had the razor clams(to die for), the brocolli, the leek, the veal cheeks and the fried sea bass. Cannot wait to return, it was topnotch.

I really appreciated the seated service at the bar, the barmaid was good company! I didnt find the wine list very attractive, it revolves a lot around young and lively wines whereas I like the body and the earth when I eat in a tapas type which offers a 75% vegetarian menu, the meat which was offered were of high quality and deliciously prepared.

Hats off for the top-notch service, on top of the delicious food. Up to par with Michelin establishments. Not the typical place to bring children, but they were super accommodating! Waiters suggested kid-friendly items on the menu (which were indeed a success). Must try the fried sea bass, beef tartare, mushrooms, pavolva and bread pudding - all flawless. Cocktails are also amazing and the rosé sancerre was a hit. Dietary restrictions: Menu and staff ask for dietary restrictions so kitchen can adapt. Kid-friendliness: Notified them ahead that we will have 2 babies and 1 toddler at the table and they were super accomodating

We had a superb meal at Cadet. 2 adults and a child had 5 plates plus the focaccia and we were stuffed. I think the steak plate counts as two. Each dish was unique and meticulously prepared. The beans (green beans) was an excellent salad like dish with many flavors and textures. It took me a minute to figure out unwrapping the leeks instead of cutting them and they were a good texture in a nice sauce. Our two favorite dishes were the ratte potatoes (great sauce) and the beets. The server recommended a very nice cocktail for my wife and I hade an excellent glass of wine. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options on this semi-tapas style menu Kid-friendliness: Not really kid friendly but we brought a 4 year old to a 5 pm reservation and it worked well, it was worth it for the food Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance from the sidewalk

Based on reviews, we were excited to dine at Le Cadet. But - the experience did not live up to expectation at all. Service was neither attentive nor very present. Had to ask a few times to order a second drink. Food was very average - not at all the quality or innovation that was hyped. Calamari dish was drowning in luke warm chili oil and was on the cooler side of room temperature. Beef tartare had the taste and texture of aged beef, though not mentioned as such on the menu, and the service didnt seem to know how it was prepared when we asked. Cod croquettes were ok but a dish that could be found anywhere. Gnocci was ordered without ham (due to allergies) but came served with ham anyway. Broccoli and contre filet were tasty. The spicy sauce that accompanied the foccacia was overpowering for such delicate bread. The menu is served tapas-style, and it was recommended that we order 3 dishes per person. We ordered 2 per person, which was absolutely enough, and in hindsight was probably a few dishes too many. Atmosphere was a bit boring.

Overall we really liked the food! The focaccia and calamari were super good to eat together. Ranking from favorite to least favorite: Focaccia = Calamari > Scallop > Veal cheek > Oyster mushroom

I love love love this place. Everything is so well designed, well cooked, and well served. I would say this is the best restaurant I have tried in Montreal during our stay. I really recommend the sea bass and calamari.

Excellent formula to offer a menu of dishes to share. The advice is to take two dishes per person, then everyone eats from the chosen dishes. The preparations are tasty. The service is efficient as it should be, without being particularly warm. We found that the atmosphere of the room lacked warmth, a large canteen side, we were surrounded by tables of 10 to 20 people, this is good news for the restaurants business, but hey, for us, we felt felt a little lost in the middle of it all.

An exceptional culinary experience at the Cadet restaurant. We started with the soap cocktail inside, a little touch of sour coupled with gin. Followed by the scallops which were succulent, melt in the mouth, and the squid with broccoli, absolutely delicious. For dessert, the pavlova recommended by Alexandre, the bartender, accompanied by a Cerdon sparkling wine with notes of red fruits, was a wonderful discovery. We also had two superb white wines - Guancibianca and Minérale +. We were at the counter, which made the exchange with the staff even more pleasant. The service was professional and warm, with sound advice on our trip to Quebec. An unforgettable evening, we highly recommend!

Magical evening at the bar! Professional and friendly service excellent food with flawless pairings. Wow!

Delicious restaurant, refined meals, Asian dishes fused with a Western touch. Dishes to share. Recommended!

Overall, cadet was pretty good and the service was really nice. However, dont be surprised at the size and price of the plates. 6 pieces of gnocchi in a bit of sauce for 24$. Portions are pretty small, we had to order one more dish to the already 2 we ate + the focaccia to be sustained Dessert was bomb tho ! Recommandation are the foccacia and the bread pudding for sure. The gnocchi and the beef tartar were pretty disappointing. They do have good cocktails.

I had one of the best dinners I had for a long time. Everything we tried was excellent: Leaks, focaccia, zucchini, cod crochet, calamari (was the best), alafut blonde (local Bier from a Quebec micro brewery). Its a fancy upscale restaurant. A little pricey but definitely worth it. You will not regret..

Didn t like the food and taste A bit too greasy and I dont like that the taste is a bit bland or just salty. I m not getting texture or complex/well balanced flavours. But it s just my opinion someone else might enjoy it. I don t know, everyone seems to be having a good time in the reviews, didn t understand why my food didn t taste the same

Excellent dishes to share, affordable price for the quality of the food, the sauces are certainly their strong point. Favorite for the squid dish. Parking: Directly opposite, large parking lot $25 on a Saturday evening.

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately our experience was rather underwhelming. The dishes lacked flavour and were mostly bland. I wanted to like the short ribs but it was served cold! The service was really slow, too! There are much better restaurants in town at this price point.

Some dishes were fantastic, some were more of a miss. Service was excellent. Try the lobster rolls. Avoid the steak, it was very mediocre, especially at the price point. Bathrooms were very dirty

This.was the best meal we had in Montreal, by far. Favorites were the bright and fresh scallops, meltingly tender short ribs, and the fabulous lemony asparagus with ricotta. Everything we ordered was devoured. We also had the focaccia, cod croquettes, lobster roll, beets, broccoli spaetzle, and duck breast with foie gras.

Small plates to share that were not too small. Everything we had was wonderful. We sat at the bar in a late seating. We selected the beef tartare and the scallops, which also turned out to be raw, as well as oyster mushrooms, asparagus (wrapped in ham), and ricotta gnocchi. All were outstanding. Our waiter suggested an order of presentation that turned out to be perfect, as well as wine parings.

One of my favorite places when it comes to combining good wine and good food

We enjoyed our tapas plates here with the advice of our wonderful server. She advised us to order 4-5 plates between the two of us and when we ordered the whole sea bass (delicious!) she said 4 would be plenty. Left leaving very satisfied and had a short walk to Jazz Fest stages from there.

Great meal. Really creative dishes. It s more medium plates for sharing. For two people we got three dishes to share and one each as our entrees and it was the perfect amount of food. Service was lovely - attentive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Plats à partager, deux plats par personne est suffisant. Restaurant gastronomique. Les plats sont originaux. Bel acceuil, le service a été bien, sauf à la fin, car de nouveaux clients arrivaient. Nous avons donc pas pris de dessert. La serveuse était vraiment gentille. Nous avons adoré nos plats et nous allons surement retourner à ce restaurant.

Cadet is a perfect restaurant to stop in at before/after a show near Cartier des Spectacles. Great wine selections. Fresh menu. Always a full and vibrant dining room. The waitress was a little distracted and didn t really give us the time of day which was a bummer considering this is a pretty elevated restaurant. But everything else was so good, I d come back anytime! That focaccia w. piri piri sauce. YUM. Also the seafood section is all really really good.

One of my best dining experiences in Montreal. The unassuming exterior gives way to a classy dining room where you can see some of the kitchen at work. The menu is all about sharing and has both smaller plates and larger items. Standout dishes among a dinner that was made up of all winners were the oyster mushrooms, tomato and burrata salad, and duck. The duck includes foie gras and is counterbalanced with a selection of veg and pear that is quite unique. One small plate per person and a larger one between two will satisfy the not so hungry and keep space for dessert.

We had a wonderful trip to Mont Tremblant and Montreal, with memorable dining each night. Cadet was the best! Exceptional food, friendly and helpful service. Do not miss the Calamari or the Fried Sea Bass! Food

I have nothing to add to all of the glowing reviews. The food was superb in flavor and imaginative in recipe. Everything was excellent. The wine list was original. The service was attentive and professional. There is nothing in need of improvement. I would travel to eat here again. 5/5.

Very nice kitchen! Fresh and quality products. The setting is sober and cozy, ideal for a tête-à-tête. The clientele is rather homogeneous, the location impeccable (especially before a show at Place des Arts), and the accessibility by public transport is unbeatable. An address to recommend!

Very pleasant experience, until the presentation of the invoice. The waitress asks us if we are satisfied. Surprised, we tell him yes. And she informs us that our tip does not reflect the satisfaction expressed, and that the tip represents her salary. Let me give him a little lesson in economics here. While we can still go to restaurants, the fact remains that inflation and the price of food are causing prices to skyrocket and we are becoming more sensitive to it. A BEFORE taxes percentage is a normal and accepted practice. We dont pay salaries, its the restaurants responsibility. I have boundless respect for the food industry. I find these occupations difficult and thankless. But our hostesss opinion of our lack of generosity is, frankly, the least of my worries. Thanks to the room manager, who managed the situation with grace.

Varied menu, just enough, excellent dishes and above all impeccable service. Nothing disappointing, totally recommended.

What I like about Cadet is that you get excellent top notch cuisine and service, in an atmosphere that s more comfortable and less formal than equivalent high brow joints. Everything we ate last night was spectacular! The beef short ribs was amazingly tender, melting in my mouth with a perfect combination of flavours. Even the broccoli dish was perfect.

Everything was absolutely fantastic. Everyone there was so friendly, and the food tasted absolutely amazing. They have a huge wine list as well. I would highly recommend this place for a nice romantic evening.

A wonderful experience in this establishment which deserves to be Michelin. The menu changes according to the seasons and will surprise you with its boldness. The staff is more than exemplary and the dining room has a relaxed, nouveau bourgeois chic that will please you for a happy hour, a date, or an epicurean outing. I highly recommend broccoli as well as foccacia to start. It s a tapas type formula so dishes to share! There is a very nice wine list and if you are a cocktail lover the bartenders will knock your socks off! For parking: on the street its difficult with the construction of Montreal. I recommend paid parking opposite ($25 to $30) or public transportation (Saint Laurent metro)

Food was great just incredibly small portions. My experience was worsened by the fact the restaurant kept the thermostat at 25C!! Thats crazy! I was watching the thermostat and sweating the whole time!

Food was alright and the service was actually incredible but this place is just wayyyyyy too expensive and the portion sizes are wayyyyy too small (wouldn t fill up a toddler)

The food was very good! I didnt enjoy my stay because I was in a hurry to eat quickly and leave by a certain time while half the time was wasted waiting for our food to arrive. The restaurant looks more like a lobby than a restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: First floor east entrance access

My parents and I stumbled across this place for an early dinner after shopping. Honestly, we were stunned at our experience! The food is magical, each dish had the perfect amount of flavour and creativity. Our server took extremely good care of us, my water glass was literally never empty. I highly recommend this place, if you go early enough, there isnt a line - I do think they take reservations, although we didnt make one. Atmosphere is a perfect mixture of casual and upscale, great place for friends or a date!

Super good food and service! We were a group and they made this dinner great!! Just a little bit of the atmosphere which is very very quiet (a little more trendy music would have made everything perfect!!) but despite that 5*!

Very tasty cuisine!!! Visit my Youtube channel P!Lou Bouchi.

Good and quality services

There really are some of the best restaurants in Montreal! Much too expensive for nothing

Food was excellent. Service was great. We had the broccoli, oyster mushrooms, focaccia (to fill me up), scallops, and cauliflower. Broccoli was cooked so perfectly. A marvel. I just can t cook broccoli that well at home. Trust me, I ve tried.

Creative excellent food, professional service, great cocktails. One of the best food experiences in the city!

We had a great night at Cadet. We particularly loved the snow crab, the duck breast, and the gnocchi. The salad lacked nuances but it was still very solid. The service was great, very friendly and definitely contributed to our great experience. The place is quite big but cozy and looks better in reality compared to the photos you can find on the internet.

Excellent value for money

The beef short ribs were so good I did it twice :)

Really excellent dishes, particularly the squid dish and the crab dish. Nice surprise for the broccoli one, we are far from boiled broccoli! Gnocci very good, but not wow like the first 2. Attentive and friendly service

A-ma-zing

Dishes are hit and miss The scallops were amazing. The snow crab pancakes were delicious except there was shell in the snow crab. The eggplant dish was not good. The cheesecake was fantastic.

The service was exceptional, I would not have put apples and only two small pieces of duck breast in a $50 dish, but the taste was there and as a culinary experience it was good but there is room for improvement. improvement, the rest was usual.

Dinner with work colleagues was a hit. Great food and amazing staff! Everything was tasty and well prepared. But must try the broccoli and the mushroom salad.

Such a great place! The flavors are amazing, the ambiance is great and the service is excellent! One of the best restaurant we have been to in Montreal

Loved coming here! Server was also amazing. Definitely Will be coming back. Food : 5/5

A warm and very professional welcome. A refined cuisine with very fine flavors! I highly recommend this address in Montreal! Some dishes are already started in the photos, the cooking was so good that I forgot to take the photo as soon as they were presented to me. The kitchen team is proud to have delighted us. We will come back . Vegetarian options: They were mentioned to us. Dietary restrictions: They were requested from us!!

Innovative, flavorful dishes in a buzzy atmosphere. The broccoli with spaetzle and the gnocchi with pork were standouts. Oh, and the oysters! Only dud was the tartare. Not bad, just boring.

I had a great time. The food was unbelievably good. The staff was welcoming and warm. I recommend you try the desserts.

I think this is a secret gem of Montreal. I went with a friend who is not a big food person and they loved it. The small plates were imaginative, beautiful and delicious. She ate one of the dishes with gusto - I ve known her for decades and never saw her take such joy in food. I love to eat and I adored this place.

Excellent restaurant, inventive and perfectly prepared cuisine. I gave the atmosphere 4/5 because the room is quite noisy but you quickly forget its so good!

Very nice evening with on the menu: snow crab, scallops as starters. Followed by the beef tartare then the gnocchi and desserts: revisited bread pudding with sour cream ice cream and secondly the Yuzu lemon cream, olive oil, buttermilk and citrus fruits. Always ask for recommendations from waitresses/waiters, the menu changes often and knows how to surprise. Discovery: Cadet beer specially brewed by the Microbrewery À la Fût de St-Tite. Vegetarian options: Some offers

Delicious meal and great service

10/10 would recommend this restaurant! We had an amazing time at Cadet, the servers were very helpful and friendly, the restaurant was very cozy and the food was incredible, these chefs are clearly very talented and passionate. Definitely will be coming back!

A beautiful atmosphere reigns at Le Cadet where the waiters welcome you with exemplary sympathy and helpfulness. We regret the beers served in cans and the portions which have decreased (not the price), but the excellent tapas will quickly make you forget these little disappointments! Here, the vegetables are revisited with delicacy and the meats melt in the mouth... With family or friends, Le Cadet conquers the hearts of those who like to share a friendly meal in a warm place.

Stellar meal. Dishes were on point. Good value for money. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Varied winelist offering options for all tastes and budgets. A little noisy but still a pleasant experience.

An excellent choice for absolutely delicious sharing dishes at an affordable price. Casual chic atmosphere, with impeccable service. Excellent choices on the wine list too. Favorites for the food: the plate of broccoli and the cod croquettes, but everything was really delicious.

We came around 9pm on a Sunday night for a late dinner, not expecting such a wonderful experience: the restaurant is airy and beautifully modern/industrial, the service was truly amazing and the food was creative and delicious (special mention to the grilled leeks with mackerel and salmon roe, and the squid in a divine white butter/chili sauce). Great selection of natural wines from all around the world. Overall incredible quality for the price (150 CAD for dinner for 2 with a glass of wine each), and a truly special experience.

cute deco and food is tasty, but definitely overpriced. unfortunately havent had one good drink the few times Ive been and 15$ for a mocktail is crazy. good service. also, bathroom was not clean.

too expensive for the taste, it s good but not *that* good. also the drinks are quite poor. you re gonna go, spend a lot of money, think you re eating good but something s gonna be off the entire time .it s the prices, they re $10 too high for the taste. the flavors are basic, but i guess that s the crowd to which they re catering.

Exceptional service and menu. Tapas style menu that will please all tastes. Super friendly formula allowing a tasting evening with friends or as a couple. Well-stocked wine list to accompany everything. Our waitress knew the various dishes in detail and was able to guide us well. Do it again!

A great place. I chose it based on the google reviews and totally match the description. Had oysters and some white wine at the bar. Polite service. Lively ambience with many bigger groups having dinner.

This was a dining experience. Small plate tapas style, the portions are perfect and designed for sharing for two people. Order at least 2 per person. The craft cocktails are amazing. Service was decent, a little slow but very friendly. Food came out fast and delicious.

One of the best restaurants I ve been to in Montreal! Every dish was delicious, and I really recommend the fennel salad and lemon yuzu ganache. The service was excellent, and the price was surprisingly not too high considering the restaurant s high quality. I definitely hope to come back here again!

My partner and I discovered this charming restaurant on a Sunday evening. The atmosphere was very calm and very pleasant. In terms of service, everything was very well presented and very well advised. Food wise: there were 2 of us and we had the focaccia, the cauliflower, the coppa, the broccoli and spatzel, and the gnocchi + the chocolate tart which we shared. So 5 shared dishes and a dessert and it filled our bellies well, we could even have done without dessert (or a main course) so I recommend following the advice of the waiters/waitresses when it comes to the quantity to be served. order. All the dishes were really tasty, I recommend this restaurant

Fantastic dinner with an even better staff, quality of food was great, staff was extremely attentive Highly recommend

Decent pricing for fancy dishes

What an amazing restaurant. We are in Montreal for a weekend visit and had the best meal in a very long time at Cadet (our first but not last visit). Plates are smaller for sharing, tapas style. We ordered 5 dishes and 2 desserts for 2 people. Total bill with 2 bottles of sparkling water (no alcohol) came to $160 before tip. Every bite was delicious and prepared to perfection, and the service attentive, friendly and quick. The atmosphere a perfect mix of lively while still being able to hold a conversation. We will definitely come back here and highly recommend Cadet for a great experience. We had the following dishes, which I would all highly recommend: - Lobster and shrimp - Fennel and citrus salad - Scallop ceviche - Gnocchi with pork - Broccoli and spaetzle - Bread pudding - Lemon Yuzu ganache

This was my fourth or fifth time at Le Cadet and unfortunately I don t think I will return. Already we were poorly seated for 5, the person at the end was very uncomfortable. Plus, Paying over $80 to be so hungry when I get home that I have to eat is a bit ridiculous... A gnocchi dish with 6-8 small fried and dry gnocchi with a tablespoon of pork for $25... A few cauliflowers, not bad but nothing special... a cod croquette (good) and 2 drinks. Really inattentive service. Unable to tell us whether or not there are dairy products or not in the dishes, my girlfriend ended up taking her medication against intolerance because she no longer knew, given the contradictory information. We asked for broccoli, 5 of us heard that we asked for it and the waiter told us no... lololol. In addition, we politely but clearly expressed our dissatisfaction but we received no compensation. No reduction, not even a small shooter. Sorry but its really not up to par. Too bad I loved this restaurant. But it really has nothing to do with what it used to be.

Great food and service. Lovely supper. Thanks

Beautiful place, they made me want to finish a salad so the food really is another level. Staff was super sweet too. Great experience!!!

Ive been going there for years and its always delicious and the service is excellent.

Very nice restaurant. Excellent service. Refined dishes. A great discovery!

The good: Great looking restaurant, very cozy and intimate vibe with an open kitchen. The bad: Service was slow and scattered. Nice staff but took very long to get served and receive cocktails and food. The ugly: The food was comically bad. Everything sounded good on the menu but the taste was a different story. A mess of flavors, under seasoned and food seemed undercooked and rushed out. I m shocked how everyone is raving about this place, it s one of the worst restaurants especially for price that I ve ever been to!

Very pleasant cozy atmosphere! The food is delicious and the service is attentive. I recommend taking 3 dishes/person since the portions are reasonable.

Place has a lot of wine choices and a full bar. The menu has a variety of vegetarian, Seafood and red meat dishes as well as appetizers. We have a few of each category. By far, the best options we tried were the vegetarian and the seafood options. A notable mention was the sea bass and the calamari. Everything we tried was good however. The service was on point, courteous, prompt and the waiter came to check on us frequently. We never ran out of water. The service was also quite quick as they are used to getting people who come in then go to a show after, so the service is built around that. The desserts were tasty but not very creative. Of notable mention the yuzu deconstructed dessert. I would go back here for the quality, the food and the service. Parking: You are close to the OSM and the place Desjardins parking lot which are a lot more reasonable than the parking lot across the street (which seemed to vary between 25-45$). Parking in the area would be hard since you re near the place du festival. Kid-friendliness: Not for children. This is a wine bar with small bites and I don t think it would be suitable for children. Wheelchair accessibility: No automated door, flat surface inside but tables are very close to each other. I believe there are some tables that would be ideal for a wheelchair and that this place is better suited than others in the area but it s still pretty narrow in my opinion.

Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious! The sauces and seasonings were really tasty. Too bad we did not have space for dessert in the end

I had an extraordinary dining experience at this restaurant today! The food quality surpassed my expectations, especially the exquisite fish croquette, perfectly paired wine, and the indulgent beef tartare and yuzu dessert left me speechless. The atmosphere was impeccable, with just the right lighting creating a cozy yet elegant ambiance. Despite being full, the place wasnt too loud, allowing for a delightful dining experience. The staffs expertise in service was evident - they consistently checked in, offered excellent suggestions, and made the entire evening truly memorable. A must-visit for any food enthusiast!

Food id amazing, completely unexpected, the flavors are combined in a very unique way and they just blew our mind. The only comment we have is that the services was extremely slow and it took a long time for the waitress to take our order and come over to the table. She was very nice and we liked her a lot but just very slow. Just come with enough tine but COME, you won t regret it

One of the best dining experiences I ve had in a long time. Excellent staff and food. We had the cauliflower, shrimp and lobster salad, red pepper steak, and potatoes, every dish was delicious.

The scallops are by far the best dish we have tasted. Its a dish worthy of the greatest restaurants in the world. Marie-Alexandra offered us exemplary service at the bar. The coffee is delicious. All the staff have a great attitude. The chef is very talented. Do we recommend? Without a shadow of a doubt. Parking: Parking is the only downside

Good food and good service! The octopus is particularly excellent.

Original and unique plates, every single one was spot clean after we were done. Everything we had was delicious, by order of preference : 1) Brocoli (house specialty, dont miss it but it is quite heavy) 2) scallops 3) beef tartare 4) salmon 5] lamb chops (despite being highly reviewed, we found it to be pretty basic and the least impressive yet still okay) 6) bread pudding (not great, would recommend trying another dessert)

Wonderful! Absolutely fantastic dinner. The service was awesome , the drinks were fantastic and the food was beautifully balanced. We loved the broccoli, fennel salad, and cauliflower and focaccia. The drinks are wonderful and we had some fantastic red wine from the Loire Valley

Very good and great service. The portions are generous so let the service advise you. Excellent wine list.

Very kind staff, really delicious dishes, very nice evening

My girlfriend and I went to Cadet yesterday after reading many positive reviews about the restaurant and we were not disappointed! The atmosphere of the restaurant is very pleasant, as is the welcome and the service (our waitress, Maya, was very professional and friendly, thank you!). All the dishes served were divine (cauliflower, cod croquettes, beef short ribs, gnocchi and cheesecake). It is recommended to take 4 to 5 dishes for 2 people and the estimate is accurate in my opinion. The wine list was great, quite a few choices by the glass. Yes, its not the cheapest outing in town, but its worth the price. Thank you to the whole team for the excellent evening!

Simple plates with complex flavours, in bustling setting. Good raw seafood selection; other items often have dairy but those with restrictions will find plenty on the menu to enjoy. Knowlesgeable, helpful service.

Nice atmospheric restaurant. The philosophy is that of sharing various saucers to taste more types of food. Everything well prepared and refined.

The food was delicious, everything was good and fresh! Impeccable service. We were a group for a birthday party, we were able to taste a good variety of dishes that the restaurant offers. I loved my dining experience!

Had a great meal last Friday night with my wife as we were up visiting for a long weekend for her birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here and the staff and service too. The oysters were unreal - super fresh, petite, plump, briny, etc. - and then the fennel salad and chicken thighs were great too. We ended with the cheesecake for dessert. Also the cocktails all evening were delicious and well be stopping in every future visit to Montreal.

Very vibrant and fun atmosphere. Staff is quick and know their food/cocktail/wine menus very well. Every single plate was flavourful and tasty. I recommend coming here over Bouillon Bilk ! More fun ;)

The server was nice, and the atmosphere was nice as well. The food was well presented, but a lot of the flavors were mute. The desert was amazing tho. Would recommend trying it once. Also AVOID the salad in the corner of the image. Idk who said orange in a salad was good Food

The dishes are original, great discoveries of flavors. Efficient service. I highly recommend.

I had a mixed experience at Cadet. While some dishes were spectacular (the fennel salad, broccoli, steak tartare), some were confusingly flat and lacking depth of flavour (tomato salad, calamari, chicken thighs). The chocolate tart was decent. Service was exceptional. I may give it another shot but I was a little bit disappointed.

This place deserved 5 stars!! The hotess and the server were very nice to us and we felt welcomed. The food was extremely goooooood and well presented. I m not a veggie person but this place gave me a good taste of veggie. Will come again when I have a chance to visit Montreal!b

Perfect, very friendly, warm welcome, and top food

The broccoli and calamari dishes were wonderful

This was a highlight of a recent trip to Montreal. Sat at the bar. Had friendly but not intrusive service. Food was incredible. Wine suggestions were well matched and reasonably priced. Definitely check this place out.

We had a wonderful evening, the food was very good, the service impeccable. We will come back !

Delicious food and extraordinary service.

Good food, service a bit slow, a bit pricy but overall a good culinary experience

Simply incredible. Very pleasant service and very tasty dishes! Thank you for this beautiful evening.

Parking: $35 parking right in front. A bit exaggerated.

Delicious food and very good service!

We all loved our experience at Cadet...Maya served us amazingly... food was so tasty...we loved everything about it

Never had a bad meal here. We don t really eat meat so can t pronounce myself on those dishes, but the broccoli spaetzle (still on the menu thank you!), fennel salad, tomato peach salad, eggplant dip, roasted fingerling, cod fritters - all succulent. Good wine selection too, overall no reason to not come back as much as possible. Yum!

Excellent restaurant, the food was really succulent, the dishes very careful, there was really research, we loved all our dishes. The size of the plates was also more than sufficient. What we didnt like was a little bit of the noise, the restaurant was full and it was still very noisy. Also on the wine list, I think I understood that there were a lot of imported wines, which are not always successful we will say, but otherwise overall it is really a restaurant that I recommend for the quality food and particular tastes, with very interesting combinations. Our plates were also magnificent.

The place was full on a Sunday evening! We split 7 dishes between three people. The fingerling potatoes with chimichuri were deliciously crispy, the broccoli with labneh and the carrot salad were filling. We also had a cod croquette each and I think we wish we all had another each. The chicken thigh dish was a salad of sorts but went well with the carrot salad. The risotto was rich and creamy. The calamari was disappointing- it didn t feel like the flavours went together and the dish was too wide so it got cold quite quickly. Highly recommend this spot!

Our first destination meal in Montréal was a bit of a disappointment. The price of wine was prohibitive beyond one glass of their cheapest offering, and we barely scraped out a shared meal for $150.00 USD. The fennel salad was our favorite: fresh and bright with an original mix of flavors: very good! The cod croquettes were heavily fried, the calamari pretty standard and the oysters uneven. Attentive service helped brighten our time.

The food is very good! The perfect formula to taste several dishes and share a meal with friends/family/couple. The service was a little slow, but nothing too disruptive.

Messed up our order. One dish was totally burnt. Other dishes were good.

Excellent cuisine! The dishes are all surprising, of very high quality. The choice of wines is wide. The place is very friendly, lively and suitable for groups. We had a great time. I recommend!

Had a great dining experience. Server was very nice to us and we felt welcomed. I really liked the taste and quantity of broccoli spaetzle and atmosphere of candle light dinner was nice as well. Vegetarian options: Broccoli spaetzle

it is a gem of a restaurant, they certainly know how to stimulate your 5 senses it was my 3rd time

Excellent service Delicious food Very fair prices

Impeccable service. Perfect ambiance. Every bite delicious, The cheesecake was so good albeit a little too dense. The gorgeous zaatar lamb chops could stand completely on their own. No need for the sauce, even though it was delicious, too. Everything else was completely perfect - the stuff that food dreams are made of. I cant wait to go back.

Food was outstanding! Really amazing and always an interesting twist to their dishes. Go there with an open mind and open tastebuds and you will not be disappointed! Service was on the slower side but it was also really busy so there is that...
