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.

Review Summary

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. While service can occasionally be busy due to the restaurant's popularity, most patrons describe the staff as attentive, professional, and welcoming, with many praising the personalized care provided during special occasions. Making a reservation is highly recommended to fully enjoy the experience in this classic, bustling establishment.

Nous avions réservé pour fêter l'anniversaire de mon neveu. La nourriture était excellente, malgré un service un peu long, compréhensible étant donné l'affluence ce jour-là.

Cependant, au moment où nous terminions la dernière coupe de vin, le gérant est venu nous demander de libérer la table car d'autres clients attendaient. Ce geste a été particulièrement mal perçu, surtout dans le cadre d'une célébration.

Nous fréquentons régulièrement cet établissement, & c'est la première fois que nous vivons une expérience aussi désagréable. Nous espérons que cela restera une exception.

Tout était très bon, particulièrement le canard & les pâtes du jour. Toutefois, mes attentes étaient trop élevées par rapport à l'agneau. La cuisson aurait pu être meilleure. La surface n'étant pas bien saisie.

We had a lovely dinner at this charming French restaurant. We ordered the house salad, onion soup, & rack of lamb. Everything was delicious & beautifully presented. The lamb was a bit more cooked than I would have preferred, but it was still flavorful.

Service was friendly & attentive. We were seated in the room next to the live music, which was perfect - we could enjoy the ambiance while still having an easy conversation. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I'd happily recommend.

Live music, tasteful food, & great service. The location is good, but parking can be tough because the area is always busy. Still, it's definitely worth visiting.

Went to Modavie on a Wednesday night & it was packed. I loved the whole experience. From the food, to entertainment, to the service, it was amazing. I ordered lamb chops & they were delicious.
I also had cold crème brûlée for dessert & wanted to order more. Finally I had tea to digest.

Our server's name was William & was remarkable, quick, efficient, polite.

There was also a jazz band that made the whole experience much more enjoyable. I will definitely come back!
