| - Flavourful and savoury. That's how I would describe our recent experience at Cadet. I love trying out new places, but I think Cadet just made it onto my list of restaurants to keep for return visits and out of town guests.
We were there on a weeknight and the restaurant wasn't extremely busy and thus not too noisy. The service was attentive and friendly.
We were told to pick 2-3 plates each and we decided to go with most of the waitress' suggestions.
The foccacia bread came highly recommended and it's a great way to start the evening. It comes with a spicy mayonnaise that just opens up your palate and prepares you for the rest of the meal.
Next, we tried the cod nuggets, grilled calamari salad and grilled mushrooms. The fried cod nuggets were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I loved how well it paired with the bed of pickled coleslaw it was sitting on. The calamari salad had an Asian twist to it that I enjoyed, but I didn't enjoy the fishy aftertaste as much. The grilled mushroom was my least favorite dish of the evening mainly because I didn't enjoy the cheese it was paired with.
The next 4 dishes we had were all amazing and I would suggest that you get them all, if your stomach allows for it. First, the smoked pork with snails and gnocchi was a very tasty dish sprinkled with pistachio. Next, the grilled octopus with fried chickpeas and hummus is also worth trying. My favorite of the evening was the broccoli and spaetzle. The crispy noodles hidden within the dish were a lovely surprise. Finally, the special of the night was a curry made of kabocha squash and udon. It was a little harder to split but I would gladly order it again if it were available.
By then, we were stuffed, but we decided to split one last dessert and it was the best decision of the night. Their bread pudding is to die for! It is soaked in the most delicious caramel sauce and you really can't go wrong by finishing off the evening with such an amazing dessert.
I really enjoyed my evening at Cadet. I loved that the portions were sizeable and had we been four people, we could've still easily shared each plate and had a decent tasting portion. We tried 9 items on the menu and without drinks, spent about $30-35 before taxes. For the quality of food, I think the value was great. It wasn't too salty or greasy, but wonderfully flavorful.
I would happily return to Cadet in the future with friends and family.
