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.

If located in Boston, Moravie would be our staid city's best!

Gluten Free options make this a great spot in Old Montreal! The prices are a bit steep for the portion size but the meals are still very tasty.

This place is absolutely perfect! The food was delicious, & our server, Christian, was super attentive. He really gave a boost to our experience! He was also very patient in letting us practise our French. We really appreciated it! We would come back to Montreal just to eat here again!

Food was very disappointing. We chose the place based on location, thinking you couldn't possibly mess up Steak Frites, but those & the mussels were mediocre. Beef tartare & lamb pasta were good.
