About

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.

Modavie is a standout destination in Old Montreal, celebrated for its warm, inviting atmosphere and the consistent quality of its French bistro fare. Guests frequently highlight the excellent lamb dishes, onion soup, and duck confit as menu favorites, often paired with an impressive wine selection and well-crafted cocktails. The live jazz and blues music adds a unique, sophisticated charm that diners find both lively and memorable.

Servers are nice but they have to take care more tables. It takes a while to get anything. The duck confit is very good.

I had the rack of lamb. It was just okay. Not very tasty. To be honest. It was a little weak on the salt. Overall we kind of felt a little underwhelmed for what we expected on all our dishes.

I guess my standard & expectation on this restaurant is so high. I ordered the Salmon it was swimming with oil you can see it in the photo, I mentioned it to the server he seem doesn't care. The mussels was plenty but a bit salty, the steak & fries is mediocre. Not sure if we will come back here again. We went for the dining area at the second floor with supposed to be a live music our reservation was at 5:45pm no life music until past 7pm when we were almost done with our food & about to leave.

Excellente adresse dans le Vieux-Montréal ! Très belle découverte chez Modavie. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse & de professionnalisme. Le service est attentionné, chaleureux & efficace, sans jamais être pesant.

La table est excellente, les plats sont soignés & savoureux, & l'ambiance du restaurant contribue vraiment au plaisir du moment.

Une adresse que nous recommandons sans hésiter & où nous reviendrions avec grand plaisir lors d'un prochain passage à Montréal. Bravo à toute l'équipe !

Nous avons passé un magnifique moment au Modavie hier soir : accueil sympathique & chaleureux de Lorenzo. Service impeccable & professionnel de Tyler. Nourriture excellente (côtelettes d'agneau & tartare de saumon, pyramide en dessert). Conseils & suggestions de Patrice, & plaisir de le rencontrer à nouveau. Tout était parfait. Merci à toute l'équipe de Chantal & Ron.

Gorgeous spot with great music. The lamb cavatelli & duck leg were both excellent, & the martini was cold & strong. Highly recommend!
