We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tuna tataki & bang bang shrimp bowls!!
Decent ingredients.
The rice was nicely seasoned also.
Better than 1 of the Japanese places at Timeout market.
Decent selection of beers unsurprisingly, including 10 from Quebec.
This place is usually packed during the Jazz festival when we visit.
So we decided to give it a try.
I have some idea why now.
We'll be back next year!
We arrived long before a fifa match started. There were at least 40% of the tables vacant. The hostess brought us to our seats. Despite our request when booking we were seated in the worst seats of the restaurant. I requested from a number of persons if we could change seats as on top of this all four people in front of us were wearing large sombrero style fashion hats. We were repeated refused despite the fact that better tables remained open for the entire time of the game. Do not count on any cooperation from the employees of this restaurant.
Half of out table only had the view of hats.
Food was cold. Beer was good.
Noisy & dusty.
I LOVE this place. Of course, it's the perfect spot to watch any sports game (hockey, baseball, soccer, etc...), but, really, this is my go-to venue for any occasion. I honestly can't think of anything negative to say about it.
Atmosphere: I have been to many La Cage locations, but this one is truly the best. Nice layout, huge screens, & so many TVs all around that you always have a great view.
Food & drinks: So tasty. My favorites: chicken wings, burgers, pizzas, nachos, & the tuna tataki bowl, just to name a few. They also have a nice selection of beer-always fresh.
Staff: The best part & the main reason why I love this place. I have never had a negative experience with any of them. In fact, they make our time here so much better. Simon is the best; he makes sure we have an amazing time every single visit. & kudos to Vince, Sara, Margarita, Alex, & all the others whose names I can't remember (sorry!).
They also have nice specials almost every day, plus a great point system & perks on their app.
For those visiting Montreal, the location can't be better. Right at the festival site (Quartier des Spectacles) on Sainte-Catherine street.
It started out well. The front door host was very cheerful & friendly, offering free popcorn & directing us to the bar. After a few drinks, we decided to order some food since a few of the dishes I saw going by looked quite appealing. We ordered buffalo chicken wings, a poutine, & an onion soup.
The onion soup was good but not very hot, but at least it had decent flavour. The buffalo wings, however, were lacking both buffalo sauce & seasoning. The poutine was the biggest disappointment: it arrived cold, the fries were soggy (some even felt chilled), the cheese curds were still cold, & the sauce had already coagulated. I tried to bring this up with the servers, but they all seemed busy doing other things.
We ended up eating the soup & wings since they were at least passable, but I couldn't bring myself to attempt more than a bite of the poutine. When I finally got a server's attention, I mentioned the issue. She did offer to have a new one made, but by then I was done. Hard to believe the worst poutine I've ever had was in the very city it's famous for.
When the bill arrived, I noticed the poutine had been removed, so at least they made an effort to address the situation.
Overall, it's a good spot for beers as they have a great selection on tap, but I'd recommend eating somewhere else.
Half-price wings, a pitcher of red beer, & a front-row seat to the game. Consider it my unofficial welcome-back-to-Quebec comfort my Belgium friend. Sometimes the soul just needs crispy wings & cold beer. #LaCage #Montreal
