Dedicating itself to sports fans since 1984, La Cage broadcasts a variety of different sports events on a daily basis. It supports professional athletes, provides promotions to fans and features one of the most appetizing menus around. La Cage has over 50 restaurants in Quebec.
La Cage comes across as a high-energy sports bar with a lively atmosphere perfect for watching games, where generous popcorn on arrival, a wide and affordable menu, and friendly, attentive service stand out. The experience often shines thanks to efficient teamwork across servers, bartenders, and hosts, with many guests praising quick seating, clear attention, and helpful recommendations. Food is described as solid to good, with standout items like wings, beef dishes, fish tacos, and onion soup, though some guests note food can be pricey or inconsistent, and a few meals were too salty, cold, or not hot enough. The venue's location near the Place des Arts is convenient for pre-show meals and fans appreciate the large screens and buzzing vibe, while some reviews mention noise, busy hours, and occasional reservations miscommunication. Overall, La Cage is seen as a reliable, fun spot to catch a game with friends, offering strong service and atmosphere, with a caveat about value and occasional menu issues.
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
It's a good place to share good beer with your partner &/or your friends, especially if you love sports. Good music, kind service, great atmosphere, interesting variety of beers, highly recommended!
My first time here along with my cousins & we had a great experience. The food was delicious & the pitchers of beers were nice & cold. Also, would like to compliment our server, Zoe, who besides being beautiful, was attentive & provided awesome service. Keep up the great work!

It's a sport bar restaurant. At the entrance they gave us free pop corn, a nice touch. We tried white sangria & cage blonde beer with onion soup & steak frites. The onion soup crotons has too much butter flavor but overall the soup was great. The steak was too raw & we asked to cook a little bit & no problem at all. Our server was so kind & friendly. Nice place with big screens with sport channel & inside the mall.
All in all, not a bad experience. If you're interested in a quaint Montreal experience, this isn't for you. It looks like every other upscale sports bar. But that was fine for us. Grab a basket of popcorn for starters. Then we had a couple beers & ordered a bacon, sausage & onion pizza (pidzz). It was pretty good. Service was good but the bartenders were running around like crazy.
While visiting Montreal we initially stopped in for one beer. That turned into two, & then dinner. First, the staff & atmosphere were great. Got to catch the last round of The Masters. Now to the good stuff! The food was great! The 911 wings are some of the best wings (likely the best) I've ever had. So good I placed a second order. The exterior crunch was on par & the interior was hot & juicy. Cooked to perfection & flavor that kept me wanting more. Forget dipping in blue cheese or ranch; definitely not needed. The heat behind the 911 wings was just right. Going to be hard to beat. Cheers La Cage!
We had such a great experience on our first visit, we decided to come again the next day! Great atmosphere, excellent service, great food & even better beer!
The burgers are always good here & the local beer is excellent. The service has well improved since my first visit a year back. The pop corn at the door is a very unique idea. I find this branch easily accessible & one thing I really like is that it has a lot of natural light from the big windows. A lot of screens & a huge one at the back so would definitely be a good choice to watch a hockey game!
Stopped here for dinner before a concert. The atmosphere was nice, lots of large TVs & friendly staff that give you popcorn when you enter & we’re knowledgeable on their drink menu. My wife & I both happened to order 2 different beers that were no longer available & when the waitress returned she knew exactly what to recommend to us off the top of her head that was similar to what we wanted. We ordered the chips & quac as an app which was very delicious & a decent size & I had the hot honey chicken sandwich & my wife the burger & both were very tasty as well. My wife described it as the flavour of a homemade burger with the quality of a restaurant. The fries were also good, hand cut I believe & I love that they come with both ketchup & mayo. Also I love when the table comes with glasses of water & a bottle because I often need a refill. Was not over-priced compared to the quality of the food. My only noted complaint is that I really prefer a physical menu & not a QR code to scan but I know that’s a repercussion from Covid & safety procedures, but I’d love to return to an optional hard copy. Will be recommending to friends & returning.
