    Try next door, much better food
    Andre S.

    You should be even more worried when they show drag queen shows on a sunday at lunch. No food was served there only a well drink for a review. The music coming out of this place was so loud we could hear it patios away. Try to call there, there is NO option to talk to anywone. The City bylaw is clear, NO music should be heard outside the premises. So I took my 60$ lunch as a take out...

    The burgers are top notch here! The service was excellent and fast. Love the cool club like vibe.

    Butter chicken
    Dora C.

    Located in gay village, Montreal, we thought this would be a great place to have dinner before heading out for the nightlife. There is a nice bar atmosphere, but this review is mostly regarding the food (we ordered only two drinks) We ordered the butter chicken, truffle Mac and cheese, Greek salad, mussels and chicken strips. The butter chicken was alright. It didn't blow me away. Same with the chicken--it was pretty standard. The Mac and cheese was pretty tasteless and had almost zero cheese. It was basically just oil. What was most problematic was that the salad was basically inedible; it was drenched in oil and vinegar and basically numbing to the mouth. My friend could not finish it. It's important to me that there's at least a vegetarian option that is eatable, especially a standard meal like a salad. The portions are massive, which I personally don't like, but that's subjective. The bar is very cute, and there is a fun atmosphere. It may be a fun place to drink but the food overall was not great.

    The duck wings babyyyy

    Came Friday night which was the beginning of pride weekend! Super busy as it should be with no places on the terasse to eat and drink. Grabbed a spot by the bar it was Very loud due to the crazy amount of people that were swarming the place. Drink special 4-7 got there at 6 so we did the adult thing and ordered a bunch of drinks before 7. Drinks were $7.00 instead of $10.00 but once u make it a double the deals out the window lol. Grumpy pappi, Montreal iced tea. Food was okay not the best appetizers I've had but I know they can do a good job. Nachos need to be layered as the cheese is just on top. The duck wings are very greasy but that's pretty much duck for you. They weren't that warm this time which was a bummer not the same great experience as last time. They have a DJ spinning right beside the bathroom you might miss it as it's under the balcony. One of the owners or manager was very sweet brought us vanilla and espresso shots very delicious even tho I hate espresso lol. Before leaving they had pride freebies which were sponsored by barefoot and absolute ( keychain, rubber bracelet, sunglasses) Love this place I will be back just gotta come early

    Totally a cool space! Love the ambience, great drink menu, friendly service. I arrived at about 10:45 PM on a Saturday expecting to be able to order food... Kitchen closed. But still had a great time. Stayed past last call. I will come again. Came again Sunday for dinner (alone). Saloon burger with fries. The bartender remembered me from last night and came to my table to greet me. Friendly place. I changed to five stars. ;-)

    This review is for the adult beverages! I went one day when I was in the mood to drink... I mean really drink. So, I went in just before the lunch rush and grabbed a table. I made my way through several choices on the drink menu! I prefer non-sweet drinks, so I stuck with those choices. The Bloody pickle martini is a winner! I found the Williamsburg to be an ass kicker... I mean if you want to get wasted quick this may be a good choice! The service is fantastic here and I wish I had stayed for some food.

    Saturday night dinner

    I came here on a rainy night completely soaked, and arrived in a comically pathetic fashion. They seated us immediately and grabbed a bunch of paper towels from the bathroom so we could dry off. The ambience is interesting, and reminded me of a lot of the lounges in LA. In any case, it was a fun crowd, as there was a birthday party along the bar in the back. Our dinner was interrupted periodically by rounds of cheers to tequila shots, which was kind of funny. There was also a second floor, I believe for private functions. In any case, we got: 1. El paso burger: Pretty good. The burger was honestly a bit dry, but the rest of the ingredients was good. I was actually expecting an avocado in the burger, but didn't think I got one. I also upgraded the fries to the Caesar salad. I couldn't read French so thought the side salad was in addition to fries for $2. However, it's a substitute. 2. Club saloon sandwich: I really liked this sandwich. Flavorful and satisfying. It came with a bowl of really really good fries in a garlic mayo sauce, which they seem to like in Canada instead of Ketchup. Prices were average to high for burgers, but you're paying for the interesting atmosphere in a part of town convenient for nightlife post-dinner.

    Club Sandwich.

    Great place! There's a fun hip vibe around the room. The service was attentive and friendly. The pitcher of sangria was really tasty. The menu offers something for everyone. I wanted to try a few things and settled for the club sandwich. If I have to complain it will be about the genius cook who decided it was ok to use stale rye bread to hold a giant sandwich together. Within a minute my first piece disintegrated in my hand. The bottom fell right out and I was left with a handful of chicken, tomato, bacon, and mayo in my hand. Bread all over my pants. The waiter was nice enough to have the remainder rebuilt with a hamburger bread. Despite this I gave it 4 stars and will certainly go back.

    Eggs Benedict with prosciutto, mozzarella and tomatoes

    We went to brunch at this restaurant, nestled in the "Village" distinct of Montreal. I'd read up a little on this district so you aren't too surprised by passing some store fronts featuring S&M activities. Tip: the restaurant is just called "Saloon" on the door, but written in letters and numbers, so we walked by it a few times before we actually decided it was where we intended to dine. I was impressed with the service (very speedy and very nice) and the decor. who doesn't want to have breakfast with a disco ball and a cowboy theme? My dining companion and I both had versions of Eggs Benedict. the Italian version was tasty and served with crispy potatoes (potentially deep fried) and berries. the other version that we ordered was salmon and caper Benedict, also tasty. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps removing some of the tables, maybe every other table. It was a little snug and as the table next to us got up to leave i swear the guy's little tush was inches from the rest of my breakfast.

    Beautiful and inviting

    Last night I enjoyed a break from freezing rain and snow at this restaurant bar. I tried the sweet potato french fries and a quite excellent burger. The beef here in Canada is quite amazing. My server spoke excellent fluent English and was quite pleasant when I tried with my limited French.

Bartenders were very friendly and helpful, and actually looked like they enjoyed their jobs as they helped contribute to the fun relaxed atmosphere. Drinks were creative and delicious. Music they play is the typical chill/lounge/downtempo/electronic where after a while it all sounds the same, but it's perfect for the ambiance and it's not too loud. Drink menu is only available through the web site, which is annoying (to me), but easy enough to overlook.

    THIS WAS AMAZING…read more food here was flawless, every dish was absolutely perfect and creative. the ingredients are top shelf quality and put together with tons of care. I had the most amazing meal here. Genuinely the BEST beef tartare i've ever had in my life, it was chopped perfectly and flavor wise just absolute perfection. Rich, cheesy but still fresh and the beef flavor was present and well seasoned. Focaccia was great as well, the grill flavor really stuck with me and was a perfect touch of crunch and flavor. I enjoyed my leeks as well, i've never had them prepared this way so it was a unique touch. Their cocktails were good with some nice twists on classics, I got the oolong old fashion which was a pretty classic old fashion with a slight tea after taste. the highlight of the meal though was the desert . it was brûlée bananas with a chocolate cheesecake and omg that was the best touch to the meal ever. we got the wine pairing with it as well and they went together like bread and butter. the wine was sweet but had a fruitier taste to counteract the richness of the banana and chocolate. it was the most delightful experience and wasn't a bank breaker either. service here was attentive and amazing, extremely friendly and informative. the ambiance was on the fancier side, with darker lighting. during my time in montreal, this restaurant easily took home my favorite.

The service was friendly but they seemed short staffed that night. We were trying to refill our water glasses but it took a while since I couldn't find any waiter or waitress around. Now let's start with the food: Focaccia: 5/5 bread was warm, toasty and tasty but the dip was the highlight Leeks with smoked mackerel, mustard, tobikko: (2.5/5) too creamy with a hint of mackerel and leeks Calamari chou-fleur, asian pear, chili beurre blanc: (2/5) very soupy and too much cream and not flavorful Black cod miso sauce, daikon, kale: (2.5/5) cod was tender but my bite had too much miso on it. It was extremely salty and not well balanced Beef tartare with mushrooms, Asiago: (1/5) mushy texture and way too much Asiago cheese. Flank steak with burnt chili salsa, szechuan pepper sauce, pickled peppers: (2/5) steak was not tender at all and the sauce was overwhelming Fried sea bass with bok choy, soya, nuoc mam (3/5): presentation was great but too many bones with too little meat. Flavor was good and I enjoyed the warm crispy fish with the Vietnamese style salad Overall, my special dinner was disappointing. I felt like the main ingredient never shined and their cheese or cream or sauce were just too overpowering. I really wanted to like Cadet but it fell short of my expectations.
