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.
Our server was constantly bothering not just our table, but everybody he was serving. I've NEVER seen nearly 10 tables leaving before the end of second period of game.
Probably one of the worst place to watch game.
Awesome atmosphere, big screens with constantly harassing waiters taking your unfinished food, even plates, utensil, water bottle, pushing you to order more & more. They don't want you to get comfy. They don't leave you alone.
I've never been to any restaurent & being asked if the food is finished this often in this short period of time.
We weren't there to vacuum out the entire plates in half an hour & leave. We were there to order foods to enjoy during the game.
They clearly mention our seat is reserved for the duration of game when you make a booking.
But the servers didn't make it feel like it at all.
DO NOT RECOMMEND
We went on game night & ordered bunch of foods to eat throughout the game.
The server came & asked if the food is finished, probably 15 min after we received food, when we clearly had unfinished food on our plate.
Second time he came after another 15 min, he was so ready to take our plats, asking if the food is finished. We were NOT finished clearly.
He came back as we were already unpleasant, asking if we want dessert, while taking our utensils, plates, even popcorn basket. Mind you, the game was still on second period.
We did get dessert, but since they took all our plates, forks & knives, we only had one tiny spoon that came with dessert.
We asked for utensils, he gave us another tiny spoon. We gave up & decided to leave the place ASAP.
I asked for a check after the end of second period. The waiter started serving new seats that he managed to empty by harassing others for nearly 20 min. I asked for check again. He came & took our water bottle 😂 & brought check after another 10 min.
It was happening not only our table, or with my server, but the ENTIRE place was filled with servers trying to take unfinished food, being pushy.
Went to La Cage to watch the game & honestly had one of the worst restaurant experiences ever.
The waiter kept coming to our table every few minutes trying to take away our plates & drinks even when we were clearly not finished. Sometimes he would already take things away & then immediately ask if we wanted to order more. We ended up ordering extra food & even dessert, but the whole time we felt rushed & pressured instead of being able to relax & enjoy the game.
At one point they even took away our water bottle while we were still sitting there. By the end, we were so annoyed that we didn't even want to stay & finish watching the game anymore.
What makes this more frustrating is that their website clearly says customers can stay until the end of the game. I've watched games at many other restaurants before & never experienced this kind of treatment.
When we finally asked for the bill, we still had to wait around 30 minutes before getting it. Despite the bad experience, we still left a tip, but honestly we regretted coming here at all.
Definitely would not go back.

I had an amazing experience at La Cage!
From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was lively & welcoming, perfect for a great night out. The food was absolutely delicious everything tasted fresh & full of flavor.
The menu has a great variety, so there's something for everyone.
The service was also top-notch. The staff were friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was perfect throughout the visit. Whether you're going for a casual meal or to watch a game, this place delivers every time.
Tout s'est bien passé, les plats tops, l'ambiance pour une game des canadiennes est géniale. Le service top, attentionné & soucieux que nous manquons de rien, super agréable & chaleureux ! Merci à toi André
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.

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
The food was flavorful, the atmosphere lively & fun, & the staff super friendly. Perfect spot for a casual night out or to catch a game with great company. Solid 10/10. I'll definitely be back!

Cocktails & atmosphere were great, but if you're looking to watch any sports it is only in French. Sorry but being from Alberta, this is a big downfall. Considering we made a reservation early to watch a western conference final game of the Stanley cup & they said they would play the sound & we only spoke English, they should have advised us it would be broadcasted only in French.
English speaking individuals should know this fact before attending any sporting event at this establishment.
Came to watch Stanley Cup playoffs . It was in French here. Very annoying when no French team in the playoffs. Everyone there probably speaks English yet they refuse to play it in English . Yet all other sports bars played the games in English
The host welcomes you with a big smile & offers you popcorn. The waiter was kind enough to change the TV channel so we could watch the Raptors game. The food was delicious: Salmon roti with smashed potatoes & vegetables. Well cooked, well seasoned, great fish portion. The atmosphere is really nice, the music they play in the background is very good. The screens are huge & there was hockey, basketball etc. The place was full. Recommend to make reservation. Thank you for staff that made our evening & experience really great. Definitely recommend this place & look forward to returning soon.
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.
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.
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!
