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.

One of the best meals we have ever eaten!
The jazz band provides a relaxing setting. The food, starting from the truffle mashed potatoes, is delicious.
Service is impeccable.

Nice place to relax for a slow meal. Great chef. Good wine list. Good service. The host was always checking with us to make sure everything was okay. Nice ambiance because music & noise levels were low so you can have quiet conversation. Highly recommend.

This was my second visit to Modavie after several years, & I'm delighted to say it has maintained its charm & excellence. The ambiance, cuisine, & service were nothing short of remarkable.

A special thank you to Lorenzo & Keral (apologies if I misspelled your names) - your hospitality was exceptional & truly made the evening unforgettable. It's rare to find a team that elevates a dining experience the way you both did.

If you're looking for beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, & genuine service, Modavie remains a top recommendation. I'll certainly be back.

Had an amazing experience at Modavie! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was incredible-super welcoming & lively. The live jazz music really set the mood & made the whole night feel special.

Huge shoutout to Caroline, who took care of me & my friends. She was honestly the highlight of our experience-super friendly, chill, & gave us amazing recommendations that we all loved. You can tell she really knows the menu & wants you to have a great time.

The food, the energy, & the atmosphere were all on point. Between the live music & the great service, this is definitely a spot I'd come back to anytime I'm in Montreal. Highly recommend!
