Well!!
I dined here for the first time on the 3rd of March around 9pm.
Very much enjoyed the menu and tried a bit of everything.
My favourite was the focaccia with the sauce. Very delicious.
I also loved the giant fish with the sauce as well.
I enjoyed many things here but they could be more bold with the flavours.
Everything was light and airy but I’m more looking for something that makes my palate dance.
I didn’t do any research on this place before going.
But you are and that’s why I’m sure you’ll know what to expect.
Light, delicious, tasty, a bit lacking and very fancy with the portion sizes.
Thank you for reading ♥️

I enjoyed a fairly quick and also satisfying meal at Cadet. The service was quick and very personable. The staff had asked specifically if I was heading to a performance or not so that they could put a rush on my dishes if needed. I settled on the focaccia bread, the zucchini starter, and the cod. Everything was absolutely delicious! Delicious! The only thing for me was that it did feel quite rushed and even with me sitting at the bar, it’s didn’t feel as cozy or as friendly as I had hoped.

For being so expensive, the food kinda misses the mark. We got the beet salad, focaccia, the croquettes, the beef tartare & the lamb. Over all things were okay but the attention to details was missing. About half the lamb piece was fat which was kinda disappointing. The croquettes came with a sauce which was a little tasteless. Same with the sauce that came with the focaccia. We got a chocolate tart for dessert and it was okay. Not too bad. Can’t go wrong with peanut butter & chocolate. The drinks were nice but the attention to detail was missing. Eg no cherries for old fashioneds. Like I get it different places make it different but if it’s in the classic recipe and we’re ordering a classic drink… would be nice to just include it in the drink. The service was wonderful and fast 🙂

Another great spot to check out in Montreal. The service was friendly and smooth from start to finish, and the food overall was solid.
It was a delicious meal with some really fun flavour combinations. You can tell they’re going for something a bit more creative and experimental with their menu, which I appreciate. The black cod was definitely the highlight. It was fresh and tender. The sauce leaned sweeter than I typically go for, but the fish itself was excellent quality.
That said, it didn’t quite have that wow factor that makes a meal unforgettable.
Still, it’s a good spot for sharing tapas style dishes and trying something playful. Would recommend giving it a go if you’re in the area.

Industrial feel but modern also.
Not too loud but very busy, clearly popular.
Located on a less busy road, maybe questionable ongoings outside the door but you’d never know.
Kind and thoughtful service.
Great drinks.
Delicious food – shared tapas style. Octopus, cod croquets, kebabs, risotto all delicious. Other items were ok. But worth it for the experience nonetheless.

The food tasted great but not “wow” kind of good from the asking price and the small portion. I liked the black cod the best, the black cod is nicely marinated and the miso sauce on the bottom mixed with creamy taste is quite good, must try. I also liked the zucchini dish which hinted with crunchy chicken skin crumbs with lemon taste ! but I think that’s about it though. The lamb chop and the mushrooms salad dish are ok.
Overall it’s still a good experience and 4 stars ! But as a tourist, not sure if I will visit again next time visiting Montreal.

A cozy restaurant serving dishes with good flavor combinations. Each was prepared well and had great ingredient pairings. I particularly enjoyed the scallops, sea bass, and chocolate tart. Service was kind and timely.

Lets talk about other elements than food first:
– The service was excellent, I was sitting at the bar and the bartender was very attentive and friendly.
– Ambiance, a nice modern-semi chic set up. Resto-bar level for the sound, a bit louder considering the restaurant is always full.
– Great cocktail!
Now let’s talk about the food:
– Cod Croquette: delicious, generous amount of fish, the crunch was there, the fish was nice and flakey, and the sauce had a good kick. Maybe a pinch of salt was missing inside the croquette. 4.5/5
– Oyster Mushroom: what is the goal of this dish? Is it suppose to be delicate and subtle? Or is it suppose to be bold with complex depth? It failed to do both, and the execution of the chef was questionable. Your oyster mushrooms were coated in a delicate herby-oil sauce, flavor was also on the shy side, the mushroom was sauté on a pan, there was no char or grill flavor on the mushroom, then you have 4 thin sliced pears for the whole dish, a handful of lettuce and then 5-6 slices of Fleur de Mont cheeses. A pungent and strong cheese served on a hot-tempeture dish wich accentuate the cheese even more. All I could taste was the cheese, why would you do that to your dish if every other element is seasoned in a subtle and delicate way? This whole dish was either an existential crisis or a simple oversight on the chef’s for the balance of the dish. If you shave that much cheese, you are instructing your eater that the dish requires this much cheese per bite to bring the dish forward. It completely ruined it. However, if you took a tiny amount of cheese like 1/5 of 1 slice with 1 whole thin sliced pear and the rest together in 1 bite, I saw the potential or the vision the chef had, but thats not how the dish was presented. Reduce the cheese by half, increase the pear slices, and your dish would make sense. 1/5
– Leeks: The best dish on their menu. It is beyond perfect, I would have 2-3 plates of this in one sitting. Every element of the dish harmonized together with each ingredients fulfilling its purpose, I would change nothing on this dish. 5/5
-Tuna Tartare: If you are very accustomed to Japanese flavors/dishes. This dish is generic and mediocre at best. It taste good, objectively speaking if we look at a standard lens that it is maguro with ponzu served with bonito flakes and some form of bubuabare, it cant not not taste good, but at 32$ in a non japanese restaurant? Is that what you’d expect? Felt like daylight robbery and you will be asking your self why is this dish in this restaurant? It was a typical flavor profile that you’d find anywhere in Japan or a Japanese tapas and there only twist was to add strawberries. 4 spoon bite of tuna and strawberries for 32$. 2/5
-Black Cod: Another heavily Japanese influenced dish, its Gindara (Grilled Miso marinated Cod), with some French element that was incorporated, this dish was definitely more elevated, I felt their personal touch to it. The Blackcod it self was perfection, it was fresh, the quality was there, it was marinated and grilled perfectly. The choice of ingredients was also well thought and harmonized with the fish: daikon, onions and charred cabbage. Adds smokeyness to the sauce as the charred cabbage disintegrates to the sauce. However the sauce was overly sweet!! Gindara is a dish that is already sweet to begin with. Why ruin the balance and delicate flavor of Cod with this much sugar. Had to wash down the sweetness with water every bite, what a shame. If the goal of the sauce was to add creamyness, put less sugar or put less sauce. Let the fish speak for itself!! That sauce did not need to steal the show. 4/5
-Risotto: overly sweet, either add something that cuts the sweetness or compliments the sweetness, like pungent element. The meat added nothing to the dish, replace it with a spiced meat (e.g. chorizzo)The dish also somehow smelled like Big Mac sauce. 2.5/5
-Flank Steak: Remind me of a Moroccan Couscous. Good, but not wow. 3.5/5
Lots of unacceptable missed opportunities at that price point. Not worth.

The whole time my husband and I were there we had very poor service. It took more than 15 minutes for us to have someone take our order. From there once we received the food roughly 20 minutes later the waiter and waitress did not check in on us once. Never came to ask how we are enjoying the meal or if they can bring us anything. Once we finished our meals the servers never once came by to clear our table and remove the dishes. They never offered us a desert menu and never approached us. This is the worst service I have ever received, especially for a Michelin star restaurant. We had to wave down a waiter to get a bill, otherwise it seems like no one would’ve came and ask or check.
The food was mediocre at best, we had the chicken wings to share which was decent. But my husband had the steak and it was not very good, he noted it was cooked strangely and it was chewy. The flavors did not make sense with chutney and Szechuan. And I had the market price fish and it was tasty at the time but later that night I had been glued to the toilet. The whole time I’ve been at Montreal and eaten all sorts of food this is the only place that made me feel sick physically after.
I also noticed that after my husband and I left that there was a coat check at the front, something nobody offered us? We noticed that the other tables received proper service having servers checking in on them regularly. And we were practically ignored the entire time we were at the restaurant. We were going to get a desert but no one came to check on us for more than 20 minutes that we just wanted to leave.
Either way this is the worst service I’ve received anywhere, nonetheless a Michelin star restaurant. The food was mediocre, I will never come back to this restaurant and will never recommend anyone to come here.
