Cadet Restaurant
Brand Identity

The Mandate

Cadet is a high-end French restaurant located on Saint-Laurent's street in Montreal. With their dishes, they bring unique experiences to their customers with carefully selected dishes from France. The restaurant's name origins come from the fact that Cadet is the smaller brother of the Bouillon Bilk, another French restaurant located in the same area. It is also a reference to the army supply store that was occupying the space before they renovated the building to run their business.
