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.
Le Cage was an absolute blast! The complimentary popcorn was a delicious way to kick off the experience, & things only got better from there. The half-price wings were incredibly tasty, & the atmosphere was completely off the charts-lively, energetic, & so much fun. We had a fabulous time & will definitely be back on our next trip to Montreal. Highly recommend!

Last week I went with my friends to this restaurant, it has a large assortment of food & at good prices compared to its location, in addition to they serve popcorn for free & this is a nice thing
The place in general is beautiful & suitable for friends & watching the matches & our waiter Gabriel was very nice, fast, friendly & good at his work
As for the food, it was not a very high level, but there may be better dishes, & for the cocktails, it was very bad, unfortunately. In general, if you are close, it is a good place to try once, for example
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.
Succulents Nachos au poulet avec Guacamole 😃 Nous étions 4 & cela suffisait pour partager / de plus délicieux popcorn offerts à notre arrivée / serveuse très disponible & serviable / le cadre est également très sympa avec plein d'écrans TV diffusant du sport - je recommande vivement cet endroit 👍

A totally fine sports bar. Free popcorn which is a nice touch but if you sit at the bar you barely get any refills on the popcorn. Slightly overpriced but not terrible.
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.
Went here on a busy night a few months ago while on a quick weekend trip. We stopped in on a half price wing night, which was lucky for us but quite busy! The free popcorn they had was a nice touch, very tasty. Perhaps I will be back on my next trip to Montreal!

Omg the salmon with carrots & potato mash was just so yumm. We absolutely loved it. Four of us in our party ended up ordering it. Service was a tad bit slow but not bad. The candied popcorn caramel pudding was ok. More mousse than pudding
good sports bar. they serve you popcorn when you're seated which is a nice touch. Lili & Saliha were very nice & professional. I definitely recommend the tartare duo.
Hôtesse Raphaëlle très attentionné, prends initiative. A proposer de vérifié ma commande à emporter qui a pris un peu de temps & a rajouter du popcorn à emporter. Très sympa
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.

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 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.
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.
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.
