Born in 1997, it quickly became popular among locals & visitors, and is now considered a Montreal institution.

We dined here recently(same week) with our young son & had an amazing, best experience truly with server George !!! So great we couldn't wait to come back & our son was practically begging us to go back. Fast forward to today (Thursday 6:44pm) when we called from Notre dame cathedral asking them if table is available for walk-in's to share this special place with friends, to our surprise, he informs us a table is available if we make it in the next 5-10 minutes . We make it by 6:48pm - the host(male with coat) now says they can't accommodate us anymore- because they'suddenly' had an influx of folks (we only saw one party ahead for us when we got there). We see multiple visible open tables even in the same room. First he says there is 15-20 minutes wait, then literally 2 minutes later - tells us the earliest table 1.5 hours from then. We understand walk-in's are subject to availability & would have been okay if they said no. What was really striking was to see the different communication tone of this male front staff during this encounter. Unfortunately, we can't dismiss if this was because we were mostly people of color or with young active child. Hopefully the front staff receive training on implicit bias.

Great ambiance! The food could have been better but it was a bit late so I'll have to give it another shot. The waiters are pretty cool though

We needed to experience local cuisine at least once on our trip to Montreal, & Modavie was absolutely perfect for that. order the poutine, obviously. Even without the lamb, it is so wonderfully seasoned, which a luxurious, not overly-salted gravy, & soft cheese curds & delicious french fries. lamb cavatelli was also a highlight. all in all - amazing, delicious food & superb service, beautiful space inside. highly, highly recommend~!
