Set to open early next month on Kensington High Street, the restaurant will serve Canadian-inspired food and cocktails alongside live sport.<\/p>\n
Founded in Montreal in 1984, La Cage is billed by Groupe Grandio as a Quebec institution and operates nearly 40 restaurants across the province.<\/p>\n
It made its international debut in 2023 with an opening in Bordeaux-B\u00e8gles, France, and launched a second French restaurant in Aix-en-Provence earlier this year.<\/p>\n
The London opening will mark La Cage\u2019s debut in an English-speaking market, with the Kensington restaurant intended to serve as a flagship for its wider international expansion.<\/p>\n
Set across two floors, the venue has been designed to accommodate the capital\u2019s \u201cmany different sporting allegiances\u201d, with areas that can be adapted to show multiple fixtures simultaneously.<\/p>\n
The menu will include Quebec classics such as poutine alongside 24-hour smoked beef short rib with creamy polenta; a smoked short rib burger with Jarlsberg and maple bacon; and rib-eye steak seasoned with Montreal steak spice.<\/p>\n
Other dishes will include lobster rolls, Montreal-style hot honey pizza and beavertails \u2013 fried pastries served with cinnamon sugar, maple ice cream and dark chocolate sauce.<\/p>\n
The Canadian influence will continue behind the bar with a Montreal mule made with Canadian Club whisky, ginger and maple syrup; a maple Old Fashioned; and a Montreal spritz combining maple whisky, Aperol, cava and black cherry bitters.<\/p>\n
La Cage will also serve a Montreal Caesar made with vodka, Clamato, Montreal spice and maple bacon, alongside Canadian beers including Molson Canadian and Moosehead.<\/p>\n
\u201cLondon felt like the right place for the next chapter of La Cage,\u201d says Jean B\u00e9dard, president and chief executive of Groupe Grandio.<\/p>\n
\u201cLa Cage has always been about much more than watching a game \u2013 it\u2019s the food, the drinks, the people you\u2019re with and the atmosphere around it.<\/p>\n
\u201cLondon is our first step into an English-speaking market and an opportunity to introduce the brand to a completely new audience. We have big ambitions internationally, but our focus right now is Kensington.\u201d<\/p>\n
