Come visit the biggest miniature game store and gaming area in Quebec, and ask our passionate team for advice!
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 come here every week, it is honestly the best game bar in montreal! Better than randolph 100%. The workers are so sweet & nice & they go above & beyond to make your experience enjoyable. (Shoutout Arthur & the owner).
Theres no entry fee! You only have to buy a consommation which is fair for the experience. They are willing to help you find a good game if they are not too busy!
The food is good for the price & they have a nice selection of games!
I cannot get tired of this place!
Since i come every week the menu is becoming redundant but if you come once in a while you will be very happy of the food & the games.
Update: there is now an entry fee of 7$ but that includes animation!
They still have 2 days of the week that they make it free so its truly accessible for everyone!
The meat is halal! So more people can enjoy it! :p
Would not recommend this place ENOUGH! They are so lovely & friendly, please go have fun!
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.

Je suis venu avec mes 2 amis pour le combat patrol event du dimanche. C'etais vrm cool. On va surement venir 1 dimanche sur deux maintenant. Le prochain truc qie jveux essayer c'est les vendredi peinture
Mes amis & moi avons participé à une soirée d'introduction pour Warhammer 40k ici & c'était super. Yassin est vraiment un bon coach & la boutique est probablement la meilleure que j'ai visité! Je recommande fortement 👌
Great store alot of great games there from board games to table top games & card games. Also have alot of hobby tools & paints. Also the pub to hang out & get some food & a drink.
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.

Prices are decent, not the lowest, but better than many other's. Staff is very friendly & very helpful. My only complaint is that they have been out of stock of certain supplies for a while (paints, washes brushes, etc.).
Excellente ambiance & animateurs, je suis venu un dimanche pour apprendre à jouer à Warhammer 40k, & j'y ai passé toute l'après midi, sans voir le temps passer, & fait ma première game en ayant énormément de fun! Merci à toute l'équipe de l'Abyss

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
Delicious food & terrific board game sommeliers! Bring your friends to try all they have to offer, perfect for birthday parties & adventuring parties. Check out their selection of rpg supplies as well, some official & a great many homegrown.
Belle ambiance. Pas trop bruyant. La nourriture était bonne mais jai trouvé le choix plutôt limité.
Au moment de ma visite, il avait des difficultés avec leur bière en fût ainsi que tout item de nourriture contenant du poulet. Je ne sais pas si c'est l'exception ou récurent.
