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.
Reviews describe La Cage as a lively sports bar with big screens, a festive atmosphere, and a broad menu that suits groups and casual diners, especially for watching games. The service is often praised as attentive and friendly, with perks like free popcorn on arrival and quick, helpful staff that contribute to a positive experience, though during big events the noise can be high and reservations are recommended. Food quality is mixed: burgers, fish tacos, and some other dishes earn praise, while other items arrive overly salty, cold, or underwhelming, and a few experiences mention slow kitchen timing or disappointing poutine. Prices can feel steep for lunch, and a handful note language or broadcast issues for English speakers during French programming, but overall La Cage is viewed as a solid spot for drinks, socializing, and sports.
I'm writing this review to advise others about how confusing game nights can be at this location. I live nearby, so it's usually my go-to place when I feel like watching a game.
In the past, I was told that there are no reservations for the bar section & that it operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Because of that, I came early specifically to request a booth so I could secure the table I wanted. However, when I arrived, I was told I couldn't have the booth because it was reserved - which contradicts what I had previously been told about not being able to reserve those tables.
The hostess then said she could gladly give me another table. I mentioned that I was there to watch the game, which is why I wanted that specific seating area. I ordered my drink, only to find out afterward that I would have to leave by 6:30 because they needed the table.
The manager came over & explained there had been a misunderstanding, but that I still needed to leave because the table was reserved. As a result, I had to quickly finish my drink & leave.
I place the responsibility for this situation on the manager & the hostess. The waiter, however, was very nice, polite, & even excused himself for the situation - kudos to him.
Unfortunately, this experience left me with a bittersweet feeling about this location.

I ordered the toasted salmon fillet & it was very delicious, though the portion felt a bit small, so I got it with extra rice. I also loved the concept of popcorn as an appetizer - & the fact that it's unlimited! As a popcorn fan, I definitely approve.
The fish tacos were the highlight of the meal - easily the best fish tacos I've ever had. A solid 10/10. I ordered multiple tacos, which adds up quickly at $5 each, but they were absolutely worth it.
However, please be mindful that the times posted on Google are not the times they serve food. They serve drinks until 12 AM not food. The kitchen closes around 10 PM.
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.
First time in Montreal & came across this spot while taking in the sites. We came in for dinner & were seated on the patio within 5 mins. The wait staff were friendly & helpful with the menu options. We don't speak French but everyone we encountered spoke English for us. Food & drinks were scrumptious. We enjoyed it enough to come back a second time a few nights later.
From the moment I walked into La Cage au Sport, I was met with excellent service that truly elevated my dining experience. The staff was welcoming, friendly, & attentive from the start. I was promptly greeted & seated, & my server made sure I felt comfortable while offering great recommendations from the menu. The service was seamless, with drinks & food arriving quickly, & everything was exactly as I ordered. The team's professionalism & positive attitude were consistent throughout my visit, making me feel valued as a customer. It's refreshing to see a restaurant where customer satisfaction is clearly a priority. I highly recommend La Cage au Sport for its top-notch service & enjoyable atmosphere. I'll definitely be returning soon!

Ate here recently after an evening at Place des Arts. The waitress from the start seemed to be in an unpleasant mood & after the assistant server spilled one of the drinks on us, her mood didn't improve. The food, Bliss burger was great. So was the Brie & Mushroom burger - absolutely delicious. But those fries need help, bland & no taste whatsoever. Dessert was great too, the Molten chocolate cake, except the hazelnuts served all over were stale & rancid. Overall, it was a good experience. Would recommend if you need a place to eat before or after a show.
We went there to watch a game & the atmosphere was really nice . Food was surprisingly good, it exceeded my expectations. They also had an great drink menu & free popcorn.
I was pretty impressed with this Sports Bar to say the least as it's not a type of place I'd usually go to when visiting Montreal but I was pleasantly surprised as we were a pretty large group & wanted to watch some Euro Cup Soccer. The place was very spacious with plenty of seating inside & nice patio as well. They had some nice large screens as well to enjoy your sporting event of choice. Our server Ariana was awesome made our experience fun & enjoyable to say the least. The food & drinks were way better than what I was expecting & the prices were reasonable too. The $3 shot special was the highlight & we took full advantage of that which made things even funner lol. The Nachos, Wings & Club Sandwich were awesome so I'd definitely recommend those from the menu. Because we had a great time I'd definitely recommend to give them a try here as I'm sure we'll return again someday when we visit beautiful Montreal in the future.
Just a couple of blocks off of St.Catherine's St & at the mouth of the entrance for Complexe Desjardins mall, La Cage is the hockey-themed sports bar you've been looking for. You're greeted by nice hosts where you can choose their outdoor patio or indoor table seating, & service was well staffed & our waiter was awesome cuz he genuinely cared that we were taken care of. We enjoyed the full rack of ribs for its value but the sauce was quite weak & meat a tad dry. The mash potato & Caesar sides hit the spot, the molten lava cake that comes with lots of hazelnuts is excellent. The Caesar drink was too salty. There isn't a bad seat in the house with so many screens in every angle. Go Oilers.

I came here for dessert & I was quite satisfied. I ordered the molten chocolate cake & it tasted great. My drink was also good & I would consider coming back to LA Cage. When you enter they offer you free popcorn 🍿 for your seat so I liked the service.
Lovely place for a drink & lunch, the waitress was friendly & always assisted before being asked, topping up our water & offering refills throughtout our visit.
It's good play to watch games if you are interested. I would say there is a lot of noise there. We got sore throat because we were shouting to speak. They served free popcorns which is a great idea but it was too salty that night. I ordered Margarita pizza that was really great. I loved it. If you don't want to get there angrily don't go by your car. It took us 50 minutes to find a parking lot on Friday night. I usually don't drink alcohol so I can't give my opinion about it.
La Cage certaintly took a big step up on their food's quality. I was surprised by how delicious the food was! I ordered a salmon tartare & it was pretty good. The chicken wings are pretty standard but a must! With a large selection of drinks, I ordered an Old Fashioned. It was done as it should be. The service was quick & efficient.

I accompanied my husband to spend the Monday Night Football. Initially we were hesitant because of the bad rating but still gave it a try. Lucas was a super nice server & food & drinks were really good. In addition I liked the atmosphere & the place was very clean.
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.
