On Saint-Laurent Boulevard, Cadet offers a laid-back twist on fine dining, where bold flavours and fresh ingredients meet a buzzing, unpretentious vibe. It trades formality for fun, serving up a rotating menu of shareable plates that blur the line between comfort food and culinary art. Think yellowfin tuna tartare with yuzu, charred octopus in a smoky romesco, and veggies that somehow steal the show.
Housed in a former army surplus store, Cadet’s stripped-down aesthetic—crafted by architect Gilles Maillé—pairs minimalist decor with industrial edges. The open bar invites you to linger over natural wines or a sharp cocktail while the music hums just loud enough to keep things lively. Whether you’re diving into a spread of bold plates or just grabbing a drink with friends, Cadet is where Montreal’s food scene gets its groove back.
