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.

Modavie is a standout destination in Old Montreal, celebrated for its warm, inviting atmosphere and the consistent quality of its French bistro fare. Guests frequently highlight the excellent lamb dishes, onion soup, and duck confit as menu favorites, often paired with an impressive wine selection and well-crafted cocktails. The live jazz and blues music adds a unique, sophisticated charm that diners find both lively and memorable.

Prix beaucoup trop cher pour ce qu'on nous a servi. Nous avons été servi le menu de groupe & les plats étaient généralement décevant. Le steak était carbonisé, les frites étaient sèches, la soupe à l'oignon baignait dans du gras & le dessert était beaucoup trop sucré. Je n'ai pas tendance à écrire des review négatif mais j'ai tellement été déçu par rapport au prix que je me suis senti obligé de faire part de mon expérience.

We had a great experience here, the food is so delicious & the staffs are friendly, smart & helpful, also with a lovely smile.
Remember to reserve the table in advance since it is so popular which there are so many people waiting while we are eating.

Modavie is a must when visiting Montreal. As soon as we got sat the atmosphere was there & it was high, our server Iman specifically made sure that our experience there is the best. She recommended the lamb chops which was amazing. We also had the filet mignon. Overall, everything was so good, even better than a Michelin Star Restaurant, trust us we ate at one just a couple days before!

Excellent service par notre serveur Patrice & à l'accueil. Très bonne recommandation de vin & les plats étaient succulents. Service très rapide puisque nous leur avions mentionné notre contrainte de temps. Je recommande à 100!

We had a wonderful experience here celebrating my birthday on Sunday evening. Our server went above & beyond to provide us exceptional service. While I was away from the table, our server asked my partner if we were there to celebrate a birthday, & offered to provide us a free creme brulee for dessert.

We ordered a bottle of a pino noir, the french onion soup, salmon tartare, mussle & fries, & the pesto gnocchi. Everything was delicious.

One thing we noted is that a couple of the mussles in the pot were closed, & had a slightly fishy taste. We found this offputting.

Je suis retournée au Modavie pour une 4e fois, cette fois-ci dans le cadre de Montréal à table. Comme d'habitude, très bon service, belle qualité de nourriture & belle ambiance avec la musique live. C'était ma première fois au 2e étage. Je préfère l'ambiance du premier étage, mais le 2e était très bien aussi. J'y ai été dans différents contextes: en amoureux, entre amis, en famille & avec des collègues de travail. Vraiment un bel endroit pour toutes les occasions.
