Came here to celebrate a birthday & the server brought out a complimentary dessert. We ordered escargot, the prawn linguine, the rack of lamb & the crème brûlée. Would highly recommend eating here. Live jazz was playing as well. Always a great time at Modavie, this is our 4th time dining here

Had a great lunch at Modavie in Montreal. The poutine was surprisingly one of the best we had during the trip, definitely worth trying. We also ordered the lamb pasta & the duck confit - both were absolutely delicious, especially the duck, which was tender & full of flavor.

The atmosphere was cozy & lively with great music, & the location in Old Montreal is perfect for walking around before or after dinner. The only downside is that parking nearby can be a bit difficult. Overall, highly recommend!

People outside recommended this place to us while we were looking at the menu & it did not disappoint. Lorenzo was so accommodating & personable to our walk-in group, shifting around things to fit us comfortably & checking in on us intermittently. Dimitri was a friendly server who made the best drinks. Food & drinks were fantastic; ambience was beautiful. I feel like this restaurant is a hidden gem. Highly recommend!

We came here 3 years ago as a local recommended Modavie for their french onion soup that I was so hungry for. It was a great exprience then. We found ourselves back in Montreal & there was no quesion where we wanted to go for our nice meal. Everything was superb! The lamb chops were exceptional!! Service was quick but not rushed. Our server, Patrice, was amazing as well & very well, but not overly attentive. Looking forward to coming back again!

Food at Modavie is just mediocre, definitely nothing special or above the rest & should be priced accordingly, it's pricey for the quality that you get.
Atmosphere is nice, it is a nice place to dine in, & service is also very good.
Bottom line is the food is nothing special whatsoever, so I wouldn't recommend this restaurant, there are far better options in Old Montreal.

We walked in & were greeted by Lorenzo. I call him out because he was very welcoming & quite funny (& not in a smarmy kind of way). The service from the other staff was very good as well. Food was excellent. Lunch price for the tasting menu was very reasonable. We had a nice table by the window. Highly recommended.

High quality fine dining. Would definitely recommend.

The bread just came out of the over, & it's one of the best I've tried in Montreal.
