She suggested 'Bar Pamplemousse' for dinner and a cocktail and i am glad i made the stop. when i get back this place is in full 2000s RAVE decorations. take me back! They were so kind and the drinks were poppin'! i ended up staying out with the locals and having a great night. I ended up in the Village at karaoke! all i can say is the prices were not issue. the staff were lively and fun! this was all out of the blue on a Monday night and i was treated like royalty! **It didn't hurt i was like to the only person there was alive in 2004* lol! thank you for an amazing kick off! pro tips: you have to pay as you go there are no tabs. they take a card and will convert the dollars tips are tips! park across the block it's a short walk take a ride service... the drinks are strong AF! ultra pro tip: bring an umbrella #iykyk

The inside of The Coldroom was dark but cozy. They had bar seating, a few tables, and a booth. I really enjoyed the Rubber Duck theme for the whole menu, and how each drink is inspired by characters in 1970s Montreal. The drink I chose was the Death Mark. I am a huge fan of mint and peppermint. The Death Mark is mint chocolate ice cream in alcohol form. The balance of the alcohol and crème de menthe was chef's kiss. I would absolutely return to have this drink again!

If they stepped up their game with drinks some and had better options for cocktails it might be a 3.5. Speakeasies are supposed to be quiet, this one wasn't at all.

Something for everyone. The part that makes this different is the outside courtyard. The walls are all and brick and like being in a castle. I wanted to come back and check it out in the dark because it looks like it might have some cool lighting. We didn't make it this time, next time for sure! Just to add for service, order at the bar, pay, take it to your table. There appeared to be only one dude working here when we visited.

So, it flowed a lot. But, we did not need to be inebriated to appreciate this downtown europeen style pub and its beautiful oasis among the concrete. A creative and gorgeous terrasse (probably one of the best in Montréal) between buildings covered in vines make you forget your surroundings. Add in prompt friendly service and a metalcore vocalist night manager and you get a very memorable night. ( unless you overdo it and can't remember the name of his band... Damn )

On Wednesday and sundays they also have a burlesque show which was too much fun. You have the option of solving a murder mystery and if you figure it out get a celebratory drink.

This was so much fun and again I don't think there was one thing I didn't like we ordered. Definitely a must place when in Montreal.

The entrance was so fun to find and is one of the coolest speakeasy entrances I've been to. After entering there is a sign in French that says to wait to be seated and our server quickly seated us. For a late Wednesday night it was not as packed so there were many tables around us. Our server was so kind and went above and beyond to help us with our first visit! She explained the murder mystery game rules and helped us with any questions we had. The game was so fun and a perfect activity for my family since we love board games and murder mystery games. Without spoiling, there's about 6 steps to the game and we made it about halfway through before we got too tired. You can take home the clues you've solved with you and it makes for a great souvenir. Can't wait to return in the future. The drinks were delicious and so creative, service was amazing, and the atmosphere was very cool. Not sure what others were describing when they have visited but I definitely recommend this place.

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.
