About us
Modavie is a timeless place that brings us back to our roots, where ladies & gents gather and eat in a lively atmosphere caused by great conversation, live music and the wooden scents of a vintage room. Born in 1997, it quickly became popular among locals & visitors, and is now considered a Montreal institution.
Treat yourself to refined French fare in an antique & dimmed corner locale spawning two floors. From the classic beef tartare, to tasty sweetbread, to the famous ratatouille, your cravings will be easily satiated.

We had a wonderful experience here celebrating my birthday on Sunday evening. Our server went above & beyond to provide us exceptional service. While I was away from the table, our server asked my partner if we were there to celebrate a birthday, & offered to provide us a free creme brulee for dessert.
We ordered a bottle of a pino noir, the french onion soup, salmon tartare, mussle & fries, & the pesto gnocchi. Everything was delicious.
One thing we noted is that a couple of the mussles in the pot were closed, & had a slightly fishy taste. We found this offputting.

Thank you for taking such good care of us, Lorenzo! Fabulous food as well

Je suis retournée au Modavie pour une 4e fois, cette fois-ci dans le cadre de Montréal à table. Comme d'habitude, très bon service, belle qualité de nourriture & belle ambiance avec la musique live. C'était ma première fois au 2e étage. Je préfère l'ambiance du premier étage, mais le 2e était très bien aussi. J'y ai été dans différents contextes: en amoureux, entre amis, en famille & avec des collègues de travail. Vraiment un bel endroit pour toutes les occasions.

When you want a dining experience where the quality of the food matches the quality of the service, try Modavie Restaurant, particularly when Lorenzo is there. From apetizers to main meal & desserts, everything was tasty. Lorenzo made us feel like welcomed guests & VIPs. We plan to go back to experience it again.

L'ambiance est sympa, carte restreinte mais avec suffisamment de choix pour y trouver son compte. Le seul bémol concerne le peu d'espace entre chaque table, on entend tout ce que les gens disent & on doit parler vraiment fort pour s'entendre…

Juste parfait.
La nourriture est de bonne qualité, les serveurs prennent rapidement votre commande & l'ambiance est bonne sans être trop bruyant

It was my first time trying escargots 🐌 & I wasn't disappointed! I ordered the'Escargots à l'ail gratiné fromage 1608,' the cheese was absolutely divine.
I also had the'Côtelettes d'agneau huile d'olive, origan, citron, pommes de terre sarladaises, légumes de saison.' It made for a great main.
The dessert was my favourite! The'Pyramide de mousse au chocolat, crème au beurre à la noisette & café, amandes glacées, crumble de noisette' was smooth, crunchy, & had the perfect amount of sweetness.
A huge shoutout to our amazing server, Patrice, who made the whole evening memorable with his humour & great service. Thank you!

A great restaurant in the heart of Old Montreal. We enjoyed the lamb chops & charcuterie & cheese board. Prompt service, excellent food & the jazz music was.an added bonus.

Just terrible customer service all around. I came into this restaurant because I had heard rave reviews & was told it's very popular. So I walk in on a Saturday night at 7:30, with 15 of my friends. The host asks us if we have a reservation, so right off the bat we are greeted with attitude. When I tell her I didn't make one, but I am an elite yelper, she tells me that they won't have a table available for at least an hour maybe longer. I said, that's ridiculous!

La nourriture & le service étaient incroyables, & même la musique live était tout simplement parfaite. Je reviendrai sans aucun doute.

We had a beautiful, warm experience at Modavie. The waiter was exceptional; the food was very good, & the atmosphere was warm & cozy. Live jazz was the cherry on top. It's in a beautiful part of Montreal. I was seated by the fireplace, & it was so wonderfully cozy & a chilly evening. Soupe a l'ongion was the perfect start to our meal

Not our first time & hopefully not our last. We enjoyed craft cocktails & appetizers at the bar. The service was very good. The food was delicious. The atmosphere is a charming mix of old & modern. Lorenzo's quick wit & personalized attention added to our pleasant experience.
