Staff was very friendly but the food, I was not all that impressed with. We ordered 2 variety appetizers and only 2 out of the 6 items were okay. They other 4 you should just pass on which makes the variety a pass overall. Lots of TVs to watch the game on made this place acceptable.
This place reminds me a lot of Red Robins without the bottomless fries. I didn't realize this was a franchise. From the outside, it looks like the restaurant is small. However once you go in, you can see their interior dining rooms are extensive. We climbed a steep narrow set of stairs to eat in the spacious upstairs dining room. Our server was great. Very friendly. I had the salmon burger. Salmon was a bit fishy smelling. I think they should season it with pepper and lemon juice. The kids menu came with drink entree and ice cream. Super deal! Fish and chips came with one strip of fish and a lot of fries.
We went there on a cold evening. The place was pretty empty, two floors. We didn't get any popcorn. Probably it was self-served, but we didn't get informed. There is only one waitress working for the entire floor. We had a full rack rib plate and chicken wings. The food was really tasty. I had thought the food was overpriced but the portion was generous. The draft beer was also refreshing. The glass was shining.
We stoped in here last time in Montreal in the mid afternoon for a quick drink and a snack. I was hoping to find a place to watch the Canucks game later that evening but it's not easy to find somewhere that'll have it on in Montreal especially on a Habs game day and that was the case at Le Cage as the bartender said I was out of luck. We had a couple appies the classic poutine which was pretty good, nice gravy and the mini fried onion block. Wow that was great !!! Instead of the standard onion rings it's strips of onion stacked and deep fried and the centre filled with a chipotle sauce. What a great way to prepare onions! This was definitely one of the best munchie foods I've had with a cold beer. The service at Le Cage is average at best but I've found many of the servers in Montreal we have had aren't overly personable or quick on their feet. I don't think I would make this a regular stop for a larger meal but for a quick beer & the onion block I would definitely stop by again.
Fun place to eat during a soccer game! There are tv's everywhere you look, even outside. Food was good. Ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos, they were ok but the portion is gigantic. It has BBQ sauce instead of salsa which tasted good at first bite but got old after a few bites. It can easily feed 2-3 people. Our table also had the macaroni n cheese which was absolutely amazing, definitely order that. Burgers where good and I've attached the kids menu as sometimes that's hard to find. Popcorn is downstairs and free, however our server didn't tell us about it. Service is pretty slow. Our waiter was chatty with the other servers, so we rarely got a refill on our drinks and took forever to get our check. Overall it's a great place to eat if you're looking to watch a sporting event on tv.
You know a burger is bad when you take a bite and think to yourself, "Wow. I've had hospital food better than this. In fact, I've had vending machine hamburgers better than this." I'm not exaggerating. We wanted a quick, simple pub grub meal for our last dinner in Montreal since we have to be up early in the AM. Since La Cage Aux Sports is right across from our apartment rental, it seemed to fit the bill. We should have known when we walked in on a Friday night at and the place was COMPLETELY empty, save for two middle aged guys holding up the bar. Husband and I chose a seat at the other end of the bar, and upon sitting down noticed that most of the bar was dirty with crumbs and wrappers. I'm not sure why the bar would be so filthy considering there was nobody in it, but... okay. I ordered the Prime Rib burger. The burger had many flaws, but the most grievous sin was that it was burnt. Seriously burnt black. It tasted just like the kind of burger you'd get in a vending machine: the bun was your typical super-soft wonderbread kind, and the meat was standard factory-issue. I don't know why they would call it a Prime Rib burger when the beef had none of the juiciness or flavor of prime rib. It tasted more like the burgers you get in the frozen food section in a bag of 10 patties. I'm not above digging a Costco backyard burger, but burning it into a lump of charcoal is unforgiveable. I ate three bites, which is amazing for a girl who can eat practically anything. My husband ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich, which were two pieces of thickly sliced white bread (also of the spongy wonderbread variety) with chunks of chicken in between. The sandwich was then covered in gravy and then topped with peas. The bread-chicken-gravy monstrosity itself was barely warm, but even worse, the peas were cold and mushy. So. Very. Gross. Despite these huge shortcomings, the bartender/waitress was really nice (though mostly absent). Being tourists, we didn't have the guts to send the food back, so we just left our entrees mostly uneaten and hightailed it outta there after finishing our drinks. Dinner ended up being cookies and chips from the Couche-Tard a couple of blocks away. Sad to end our great Montreal culinary tour on a bad note, but all the other awesome meals we've had here made up for this giant dud.
Life update: my dad is currently in Montreal and has regretfully informed me Patrick has moved elsewhere. Miss you Patrick
I went here my second night and Montreal and was extremely underwhelmed. We went here because they had an indoor section, a half outdoor section and then an upstairs region... Alot of space in this space. They have affordable drink prices which attract alot of local kids and American tourists that are 18. The menu was a what you'd expect from a typical sports bar, and the atmosphere was surprisingly really nice.... I wish we had more affordable central town baes like this where I live. Here's where things get bad. The outside section has like a million spiders... Which I'm not knocking Cage for this because this is just a Montreal problem. Just something to know if you freak out easily.. Actually don't even walk around Montreal if you are because they are everywhere.. Hence why I'm not docking points. It's not a cage problem. The wings were grossly small and lacked flavor... It tasted like nothing... Nothing at all. The sliders tasted frozen that were just baked. It was not consistent with texture or tastes.. It was weird. The poutine was overly salted and I couldn't even finish it because it was gross. I really just left this place because I couldn't stand the food anymore. We just had exceptional service, hence why it got a 2stars and not a zero... The waiters were extremely nice and accommodating.
It used to be popular place, not one of my favorites. There are screens to watch sports games. And, the menu is a classic one. They have two terrasses, that attracts tourists. We shared two nachos, and cheese was lacking, same for the other ingredients, I won't order it next time.
Because i enjoy the terrasse In the summer! they have also a wonderful terrasse in the middle of the bar for winters, the food was good and you can see bigs screens everywhere for hockey .... always busy place for beer and the toillets can tell ...
Went for lunch. Good portions and lunch specials include a drink. 1/2 off bottles of wine on Wednesday's-- highly recommend. The fish and chips were crunchy and the homemade tartar sauce perfectly complemented the dish. Great atmosphere and would be perfect to return for dinner and drinks on their second floor terrace.
After wandering around the famous St Paul street we saw that La cage had a rooftop lounge so we stopped in .We ordered 3 different appetizers, flatbread , 3 fish tacos and potato skins, all were excellent and the service was excellent as well. A nice addition was plenty of Tv's for watching sports if you are into that. All in all a first rate restaurant with some nice people watching on the rooftop lounge onto the famous St Paul street. read more

This place has very delicious Buffalo wings! We tried several things but I don't really care about anything else besides their buffalo wings. And we got a side of 911 sauce (which isn't too spicy, more just like a regular hot sauce). We tried several other things but the only thing I loved was the buffalo wings. I could've ate like 30 of them by myself. They also had free popcorn which is cool. And they had a few good drinks. We tried the Moscow and this fruity raspberry drink which was delicious! Try their buffalo wings, they're great! read more

Eww. And I say this completely understanding that this is a tourist trap. But I really don't understand when a business loses interest in their own business and their guest. With that said we had the poutine which was... Gross. We ordered a Long Island Iced Tea that was about 16 oz and all I got from that was more disappointment instead of a buzz. And yeah, I once again say it's an obvious tourist trap food stop. But don't fall for it. Look for another spot... Now. read more

Was in Montreal MayDay weekend and came through to watch the Mayweather and Guerrero fight. La Cage is a Great looking sports bar. It's TV galore with a huge center serving bar. Wide open space with two huge projector screens along with smaller flat screens at every turn of the head. The place was awfully empty though considering it was fight nite. I guess Canadians aren't that big into boxing? The kitchen was shut down, so there's no food review. It was around 11pm when we got there plus there was a small number of patrons so it's understandable. The fam and I knocked back two pitchers of beer as we watched Mayweather dismantle Guerrero then called it a night. The waitress was nice but insisted on speaking French, so my cousin that lives there had to place the orders. I hear its a big thing in Montreal now... that French preservation has turned into French force feeding. Even with out-of-towners and tourist. Shrug, watchu gona do? Maybe the place is livelier when hockey is on, Who knows!? The other Yelpers do, silly! I'd go again to watch a fight and drink a beer. La Cage Aux Sports. alright stuff. read more

OK place to see the end of the hockey game and have a pint or few with friends. The service was average, they didn't want to substitute my rice with sweet potato fries, something that can be easily done in every Irish pub for a small surcharge and I had to remind about my second pint. The place is more attractive during the summer, when you can sit outside on the terrace. Free popcorn helps the 3 stars rating! read more

I give this 5 stars because it met all our needs: a place to watch the NBA finals and the USA V Ecuador Copa America match, drinks, and great atmosphere for our first night in Montreal. I got a 9 oz and then 5 oz Kim Crawford and he got 2 Heinekens. With tip, it came out to $55 CAD. La Cage offered such great atmosphere that I would recommend it to anyone looking for an upscale sports bad in Montreal. read more
