La Cage est une chaine de restauration sportive québécoise présente à la grandeur de la province avec plus de 40 établissements. Avec son décor moderne, son menu toujours actualisé et sa technologie de pointe, le réseau bénéficie d’un positionnement unique, s’appuyant sur la bouffe, la bière et le sport pour offrir une ambiance unique à sa clientèle.
La Cage emerges in these reviews as a lively sports bar with huge screens, a big vibe, and a good place to watch hockey or other games, with many praising the atmosphere and friendly staff; yet experiences with food and service are mixed. Dishes like wings, nachos, burgers, and salads are highlighted, with some portions praised for value and flavor while others feel small or overly salty; the quinoa salad with goat cheese is mentioned positively in one instance. The venue often offers promotions such as half-price wings on Thursdays and app-based discounts, though some diners feel the menu is inconsistent or pricey for the portion size. Service ranges from attentive and efficient to slow or impersonal, and a few visits note cold food due to seating or ventilation, aggressive billing, or perceptions of not being welcomed, including concerns about family friendliness and crowd management during busy events. Overall La Cage remains a popular, energetic spot for sports fans, with big screens, popcorn, and a broad menu, but night-by-night quality can vary.
Food was average, service was good. Wings were small, burger was not very juicy, quite dry. For what seems like fresh cut fries, they tasted dry & stale. Poutine sauce was mostly just congealed. Calamari pieces were super tiny, no substance to it. Dj played music over the Habs game, would've been nice to hear the game commentary.
A really good sports bar. Good space nice seating. Good choice of drinks. surprisingly good sports bar type of food. The one thing that I can say was not good & our table all agreed was the French fries. Low quality,, bad taste & burnt. We were a table of 25 office workers .. everyone agreed the fries are just the worst. But the wings are amazing & the nachos & burgers are really good.

I had a great experience at La Cage - Brasserie Sportive. The ambience was lively & welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax & enjoy a good meal. The atmosphere really adds to the overall experience.
A special thank you to our server, Maxim, who provided outstanding service. She was attentive, friendly, & made sure everything was taken care of throughout our visit. Her positive attitude & professionalism truly elevated the evening. Great service like this makes all the difference. I'll definitely be happy to come back again! 🍽?👏
That said, I did have a small concern during the visit. I tried to get the attention of another server, Stephanie, simply to ask where the restroom was, but she seemed to avoid eye contact & walked past without acknowledging me. It felt a bit dismissive & not very customer-friendly. Hopefully this is noted by the management & taken care off.
Good vibe during the hockey game. Wings were half-price & very good. When I got in, I asked for a beer, in French, & the waitress looked at me confused, & said'Whaatttt?' like I just spoke Chinese (I don't have anything against Chinese). In the province of Quebec, that's unacceptable. I was sitting at the bar, the only spot left, & when I arrived, I asked the welcome clerk to be relocated when a table would get free. She never came back, & I noticed a lot of places available when I left. Otherwise friendly staff. Still recommended.
The French fries were overcooked, but the chicken wings were excellent. Service was average, & the dining area was uncomfortably cold. On the bright side, the beer was great, & the free popcorn was a nice touch.
-Service was meh , had to ask for everything. Orders, refills, napkins water etc...
-food & drinks were terribly over priced & sub par, beer 11.50/pint for domestic
-nachos were $25 dollars & pretty much a plate of chips with veggies thrown over them .
- better off going to McDonald's across the street, best part was the popcorn they gave us when we sat down
- had chicken tenders that were more like soggy chewy chicken strips.
- $6 extra for sweet potatoe fries
We made reservations for 4 adults & 2 kids, to celebrate twins 13th birthday. Their request, as they wanted to enjoy dinner & watch the basketball game on the big screen. We arrived & were seated at a nice large table with 6 bar stool chairs. We ordered drinks & were served such & then ordered appetizers & main dishes. About 15-20 min later, we were informed that we had to change tables, as'this is a bar & our kids were under age.' We were told by 2-3 different girls, that we'd have to move & were being put into a small u shaped corner booth, about 15 ft away. The girls said to not take our empty plates. Clearly not my job to move empty serving plates. We 6 squeezed into the booth they had prepared for us, but with only 5 serving utensils. Within minutes, all our appetizers & main dishes were brought by at least 3 ppl. We were overwhelmed with about 9 dishes on a small table surface all at once, with no help in making space, just plates hurriedly pushed in our direction. The food was average. My grandson who ordered pizza, had about 4 pieces leftover which he wanted to take home so we asked for a box. A small 3 inch square (like for french fries) was given & I said,'you want him to put all his pieces into that small box?' The waitress said , she had nothing larger, so she would bring a couple more boxes. Nice, smashing & folding pieces of pizza, on top of one another, to fit. Hard closing the top. My other grandson needed a box for his left over meat & fries & my son needed a box for his leftover salad. We left with 3 jammed, 3 inch boxes. We asked for coffee, but it was brought COLD. We returned it to the waitress & yet, she soon brought the bill charging for the cold coffee. We told her & she said she would redo the bill without coffee. Our tip reflected the very poor service, & the lack of making our family feel welcomed. We mentioned 2-3 times that we were there to celebrate special birthdays, yet the whole situation felt more like a disaster. When approached by the waitress & the young female'manager' as to why the poor tip, we explained that, if kids under the drinking age are not welcomed to dine in their restaurant, why take a reservation for a family party? We were seated by the employee. Why have kids meals on the menu, if kids are not made to feel welcomed? What is the difference between two tables when they are literally 15 ft away from one another? Why bring appetizers & main dishes at the same time? It just felt like they wanted to get us in & out as quickly as possible. I told them that we would never come back. There are many good restaurants in the area, & prefer to go somewhere where we are treated with respect, kindness & professionalism. We were extremely disappointed by this experience & upset that what could have been very fun happy celebration, turned into such a miserable experience. This is NOT a family friendly restaurant.
Glad we gave it another chance.
Different staff, Different manager (girl with dark long hair & sneakers.
We did not have a reservation & showed up asking for a booth (we were 5) with my elder mother who cannot sit on stools & cannot go up the flight of stairs.
She managed to move a reservation & accommodated us with a booth. Thank you so so much.
It was my sons birthday & was somewhat of a special occasion (18).
They gave us a booth & we were able to have a nice birthday supper.
Waitress (not sure what her name was. African American, super nice & thoughtful. Went above & beyond to make sure we were happy & had everything we needed.
Asked her to try & have the baseball game on the big screen at our booth instead of the hockey game & she was able to accommodate the request. Food was good. Burgers were (according to my husband & son) exceptional & appetizer was really good as well. Drinks were well prepared & we really enjoyed our night. Thank you so much for the great service. We will be back.
**Edit**
What a difference a year makes.
Very rude staff including the manager or whoever that older balding guy is at the door. Was not friendly or accommodating whatsoever. We left. We went to the one on Decarie. We had an amazing time there & will not be coming back to the VSL location eventhough we live 3 minutes away.

Food at one time was good but over time it has become terrible. The bang bang shrimp was so deep fried that I could barely chew it.
No one at our table liked what they ordered.
Also bathrooms are up stairs, all the way at the back near the kitchen so allow yourself at least 5 minutes just to get to them.
At least the popcorn was good.
If you're looking for the ultimate game-day experience, La Cage hits it out of the park! The atmosphere alone is worth the visit; it's lively without being overwhelming, with big screens at every angle, making it impossible to miss a moment of the action. The crowd is friendly & spirited-perfect for both die-hard fans & casual watchers. As for the food, La Cage goes beyond typical bar fare. The wings are a must-try, crispy & coated in sauces that pack just the right amount of heat & flavor. They've also got a range of shareable plates & some creative takes on classic bar bites. The spicy honey chicken burger was a standout, & the portions are generous, so come hungry! Whether you're there to cheer on your team or just soak in the energy, La Cage delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend stopping by for your next game day! 🍺😎👍

Place is really nice, great to watch sports & hang up with friends. Service is not the best, & food is good but there are better places for bear & burgers.
Great food, atmosphere, & perfect for a lunch, dinner, or game day. Menu has lots to choose from, from salads to pizza to burgers to ribs. We had the Quinoa & Grilled Chicken dalad & the 3-mini Bison Burgers. The salad was amazingly delicious, as were the burgers. We ordered fries to go with burgers, & were a bit disappointed to see refried cold fries mixed with fresh hot ones. Other than that, had a great experience.
Great place, fun atmosphere. Loved the beer le trou du Diable comes with popcorn. Ordered fried cauliflower & fish tacos, both delicious 😋🤩 great service 🤠😁
I recently visited La Cage, & despite the packed crowd & wait time for a table, I had an amazing experience! The service was exceptional, the food was delicious, & the staff were incredibly friendly. The beers were served ice-cold, & the restaurant was beautifully decorated. The washrooms were spotlessly clean, & there were plenty of huge TVs to enjoy. The ambient music added to the fantastic atmosphere. Overall, a highly recommended spot for a great time!
