Kabinet

“AMAZING vibes! The staff was the sweetest and coolest, the food and cocktails were great as well. Loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming place with good music ❤️⭐️”

“A Hidden Gem That Just Keeps Getting Better! I recently went back to Kabinet in Montreal for the second time, now under new administration and new Executive Chef — and I have to say, I didn’t think it was possible, but the experience was even better than my first visit! The atmosphere remains as stylish and inviting as ever, but the new team has taken things to another level. The service was flawless, and the food… absolutely unforgettable. Highly recommend the salad (fresh, vibrant, perfectly balanced), the smoked trout (a standout—delicate and flavorful), and the asparagus (elevated to perfection) Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. If you haven’t been since the change in management, it’s time to go back. And if it’s your first time, you’re in for a treat”

“We had the most wonderful girls dinner here on Saturday evening. Our server Katherine was an absolute gem and really made the experience worthwhile with helpful suggestions and wine recommendations! The beef tartare was a standout, and the entire atmosphere of the place was wonderful. We then stayed for when it turns into a club and had a fantastic time! Would highly recommend!”

“It wins you over at first glance. The space is undeniably charming—warm lighting, thoughtful design, and an intimate atmosphere. It’s aesthetically pleasing in a way that suggests a carefully curated experience. Unfortunately, the reality doesn’t quite live up to the setting. We were seated at a wobbly table—a small detail, perhaps, but one that instantly chips away at comfort. It’s something that’s easy to fix and hard to ignore. The tables themselves are also notably small, packed tightly together in what feels like an effort to maximize capacity. While understandable from a business standpoint, it comes at the expense of ease and intimacy. Instead of feeling cozy, the space can feel cramped. The cocktails were creative, well-balanced, and reasonably priced. It’s clear that the bar is a strength. The wine list, though short, is well-selected as well. The food, however, was underwhelming. The bites are serviceable but not particularly memorable. The beef tartare, in particular, lacked the depth and seasoning one hopes for—it felt flat and uninspired. At those prices, you expect something that excites the palate, not something you struggle to recall the next day. This works well as a pre–date night stop: a place for a good drink in an attractive setting before heading somewhere else for dinner. We’re glad we gave it a try, but between the cramped layout and the forgettable food, it’s not somewhere we feel compelled to return to.”

“Never been so disappointed with food. We took the menu degustation, so tried several plates. No flavour and very bland. We were 12 people and 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.”
