One of the best restaurants if not THE best in Montreal. Which is saying a lot. Incredible people, incredible environment. Tres Bien. I recommend getting a reservation as it fills up quickly.

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.

The duck confit was great! Deceptive portion - it looks small, but it is really filling. Our server was really nice too. The live Jazz band was a nice touch.

Wonderful restaurant with live music & serving classic French cuisine. Great atmosphere on second floor. Was given a fantastic table close to live music performance. Attendant was ok, nothing extraordinary but provided decent polite service. Food was quite good, especially the onion soup which was not salty & seasoned perfectly with savory & sweetness balanced nicely with hint of wine flavourful in the broth. Rack of lamb was cooked to perfection however the rack portion could have been better cut up & presented though, it was a tad lazy to serve up two giant racks with other rack bones partial in together, when compare to others having same dish at other tables. Scallops were cooked right but sauce was too salty for my preference. Salad was amazingly fresh & crisp. Overall good food good vibe good value.
