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.

Lorenzo was very attentive & knowledgeable to our request for a gluten free poutine with lamb. The poutine had small thin fries & the gravy was not heavy. The lamb was shredded & delicious. Thanks Lorenzo! He was also kind & sweet.

Authentic bistro with outstanding food & service.
Very tight quarters, not for larger people. Interesting & attentive personnel/servers. Rather expensive, though reasonable if one limits wine/brandy/desserts. Recommended.

An unforgettable dining experience in Old Montreal! From the moment we walked in, everything was exceptional. The service was truly outstanding - attentive, personalized & genuinely welcoming. The staff made us feel like valued guests throughout the entire evening.

The food was absolutely incredible. The beef tartare was one of the best I've ever had, the French onion soup was rich, flavorful & perfectly prepared, the escargots were delicious, & the duck was cooked to perfection - tender, juicy & full of flavor.

Their wine selection is outstanding, with an impressive variety to complement every dish.

Beautiful atmosphere, impeccable service, & unforgettable food. This is the kind of restaurant that makes you want to return every time you're in Montreal. Highly recommended!!!
