The landmark steakhouse on Montreal’s Saint-Laurent Boulevard first opened its doors in 1938.

It’s since been named one of the world’s top 10 steakhouses by Forbes Magazine.

“We can humbly say that we are an institution that has always greatly contributed to Montreal’s reputation and specific character and we want to keep it that way,” Lighter said.

In addition to the La Cage restaurant chain, Sportscene is also a partner in the L’Avenue restaurants and operates PF Chang’s in Quebec.
