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.
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.

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 okay, but the service was disappointing. We had made a reservation to watch the UFC fight, but when we wanted to stay & watch the last match, the staff asked us to leave, saying that another reservation for our table had arrived. No one had mentioned that there was a time limit for our reservation.
The solution was to watch the last fight standing
So disappointing

Good portion, brûlée was really bad but the crème part was good.
Nous avons été reçu par l'hôtesse, très sympathique & serviable, nous avons demandé une table sur la terrasse, qu'elle était la surprise qu'elle soit chauffée, très agréable. Le service qui suivra sera des plus satisfaisant avec un serveur professionnel avec une gentillesse équivalente à sa beauté.
Merci pour cette expérience Henri P.

Il est 15h30, c'est jeudi, y a peu de clients. Ma commande a été prise à 16h !! La serveuse allait à toutes les tables sauf la notre, ridicule. J'ai du aller la chercher.
I only post honest reviews. This sports bar is outstanding! I had a burger, my wife had a salad. The food was delicious. Possibly the best burger I've ever had. Fantastic value for money. The staff are spot on. I would like to say I would come here often, but unfortunately I live in a different continent!
Un énorme merci à Jannie pour son service exceptionnel à La Cage au Sport ! Toujours souriante, attentionnée & professionnelle, elle a rendu notre expérience encore plus agréable. On se sent vraiment bien pris en charge avec elle. Bravo & continue ton excellent travail

Accueil très sympathique. Nous avons pu souper à deux sans réservation ni attente malgré une salle bien remplie.
Un bemol: les frites du fish & chips étaient trop cuites & molles, par contre le bol tataki au thon était parfait.
Attente des plats raisonnable, bonne bière maison
Service impeccable.

Merci au personnel & à notre serveuse Ariane pour cette visite.
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.
