We were visiting from Vancouver & decided to celebrate our friend's 70th birthday here. So happy with our choice - the food was delicious, the jazz group was great, & our server (Frank) was excellent. I will definitely be recommending this restaurant to others.

Bruyant & un peu dispendieux

We were traveling & absolutely starving when we found Modavie. Choosing a restaurant in Montreal can actually be quite difficult with so many options, but in this case, the high rating & large number of reviews definitely made sense.

The foie gras was absolutely delicious. My husband kept saying how perfectly it was seared. We ordered foie gras at several other restaurants later during our trip, but none of them were as good as the one here.

The duck confit was also very well done, & my mother really enjoyed the risotto. I ordered the lamb chops, which unfortunately were not my favorite. I personally didn't enjoy the slightly burnt flavor from the marinade or sauce on the outside of the meat.

The atmosphere was very nice as well, & overall we had a very enjoyable dining experience.

Lorenzo was a phenomenal host & provided my family with a great experience. The hospitality is top notch & allowed my young family to enjoy a nice meal after a long afternoon. Lorenzo was able to accommodate our group without a reservation & feed our hungry mouths quickly. Thank you
