Reviews describe Abyss Resto-Pub Ludique as a warm, welcoming gaming cafe with plenty of space for play, a friendly and helpful staff, and a broad selection of board games, miniatures and card games, plus a pub style menu at fair prices; the vibe is social, fun and community minded, with reliable service and great atmosphere for groups and casual players, although some notes mention occasional inconsistencies in food quality or menu variety, stock shortages and events that are busier or louder or feature an entry fee.
I ordered cards from here & a playmat & chose a more expensive shipping option because the package would be bigger due to the playmat. The playmat was actually out of stock so it was refunded but my order had still been sent with the shipping I chose. I didn't want to pay that shipping cost for just a few cheap cards but it had already shipped so I contacted them asking if they could do anything about the shipping, & they replied immediately & refunded the entire shipping fee. I also hadn't realized when reaching out that the company was French (so I sent everything in English) because I bought third party & they translated everything for me in their emails which was super accommodating & appreciated. Also received the cards & the condition as described, some lightly played cards I purchased look near mint to me though which is even better. Beyond happy with how great their customer service & quality was, will definitely order for future cards I can't get locally.

Amazing place to play miniature games & meet people. The shop is also well stocked with many things & it's usually hard to leave with buying something... a new paint, used mini or anything related to the miniature wargaming hobby ^^
10/10 business, a must-visit for any Wargaming enthusiast!
Abyss has cemented itself as the go go game store, boardgame bar & wargaming center for anyone looking to play a tabletop RPG. Me & a few friends play Warhammer 40k here exclusively, due to the large tables, massive terrain collection, friendly staff & good food.
They take feedback well, recently adding delicious truffle fries & a routinely consistent menu.
Arthur is our regular server & makes an effort to remember our names & always be joyous & polite. This is a quality level of service unseen in Montreal.
There is no better place to play a tabletop rpg like warhammer 40k with friends in Montreal.
Went to the MTG Lorwyn Eclipsed prerelease. Great atmosphere, strong turnout (~30 players), & excellent prize support (two packs per win), which kept people engaged.
My only concern is food & bar service happening right beside gameplay. I usually avoid prerelease at Abyss & ordering food for that reason, but decided to try a burger instead of stepping out.
It was just my luck that the apprehensive me experienced a server accidentally dropped mayonnaise on my school bag. They were apologetic & did their best to clean it, clearly an accident. The scary part was that my bag contained two binders of high-value cards. If it had been open, it could've been devastating. Thankfully, the cards were fine.
The bag is now stained (mayo in the zipper), which is disappointing. While I understand mistakes happen, some small gesture (like comping the meal) would've been appreciated, but none was offered.
The animator was vibrant. Explained multiple times in different ways. Showed patience even when it was obvious they were pressed for time (they had to move table to table to handle up to 4 tables by themselves).
Server needs to practice memorizing the menu, however they came back to explain regarding two similar drink options (appreciated). Had a softer approach & still showed confidence.
I had requested the animator sit with us to explain games instead of kneeling at the table for their comfort. Personally I find it more respectful. I prefer everyone is treated fairly.
The paladin grill cheese was decent. Tomato soup was too thick, too acidic. Didn't finish it. Chai latte was ok. Tried to finish it. Grilled cheese caramelized onions was good, poutine was boring but clean (like a sterile home made version). Chef salad was ok. Overall food is ok. The place was clean & spacious. I think there's a section where visitors can buy materials & games.
Games played: Gaia, Forbidden Island, Trial by Trolly, Pandemic

Good pub menu & drink selection, plenty of board games to play, well stocked with fantasy/sci fi & WW2 historical wargaming products. Has a dedicated gaming area downstairs for miniature wargames & card games. Staff is very friendly
Amazing day with the family here playing board games & buying modelsand paints. The staff were fantastic at helping with game selection & rules. They were great with our 1 year old. Good food & drink selection. Wished I could have brought my army & used the tables & terrian downstairs!!!
A really great gaming center & restaurant. Densely packed with cool games to play or buy. Particularly impressed with the highly knowledgeable & friendly bilingual staff. Food is quite good. ( winter menu) & prices reasonable. Great place to game with friends, family or coworkers.
Welcoming staff, good selection of games to play. We came for lunch & a game, & although the menu was a little limited, their cheeseburger was fantastic.

Great place to go & play games with friends/groups, the food is excellent. Lots of people from different game communities go there to play everyday of the week, like star wars legion, MCP, 40k etc. The basement is full of tables to play, a lot of terrain & mats available to use, there is a lot of place too. They also hold many tournaments & event throughout the year. Very good selection of games are available to purchase, overall a very good game store 👌
Amazing place. Went there for my boyfriend birthday & the staff were all very friendly, great services & smiles. Arthur was especially attentif & cheerful ( also love his taste in music 😊) Tons of boardgames you can play & some are rarely seen on other boardgames stores. They not only have the easy casual games, but some more advanced complex games for those who wants more. Great for exploring or tested new games. Recommend 100% for boardgames fans!!!
Here is a great place for a fun game night! The atmosphere is cozy, & the staff is super friendly, especially the waiter with blond hair & glasses-he was really nice & helpful. They have a fantastic selection of games. The only downside was the bubble tea, which was a bit too sweet. Overall, it's a wonderful spot to hang out & play games!
LOVED this place. Such a cute space to enjoy food, games & fun times. The service was great. The waitress was helpful as it was our first time. It's awesome that we could enjoy lunch & play any board games we wanted (in the shelf to borrow). Great way to test games we don't already have & to see if we wanna buy it afterwards (as they also sell most board games there too). Would def go again ✨

Super friendly & knowledgeable staff! They really took the time to help me with all my questions, & are really helpful & encouraging to new players, def recommend 👌
They inproved a lot by adding Wargaming tables on the resto area so you can play even when there are tournaments going on. Also you can order easy & conveniently.
This is a great game pub! Unlike some game pubs, it’s well lit so you can see what you’re playing. The sound is lively but not so loud that you can’t hear yourself think.
The food is good & varied & the drinks are well made.
The games store has a great selection of board games & miniature games with decent discounts. There’s a huge selection of paints.
