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.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre expérience pour le lunch :) nous y étions avec un bébé de 7 mois & tout le personnel a été génial! Le maître d'hôtel Lorenzo & notre serveur ont été particulièrement sympathique :) la nourriture était bonne mais sans plus cependant.
