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 est un restaurant rempli de charme. A la fois calme, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & la musique très plaisante. Les plats étaient super bons, ça faisait longtemps qu'on avait mangé un plat aussi bon dans un restaurant. Patrice, notre serveur a rendu notre expérience encore meilleure par sa sympathie & son sens de l'humour incroyable:) Merci pour un super service!

All I can say is incredible place. The food is immaculate. The Best French onion soup I've ever had. Their Lamb Rack was pure perfection. Ambiance was pleasant. Music was great, & also.. Had the pleasure of seeing a certain celeb from the Jacka** series enjoy the place! I'f you're newly local or visiting, you have to take the time to treat yourself to this fine digs. Service is prompt, polite, & also down to earth. You will not be disappointed.

Great atmosphere with love music & kind staff. The set menu was great & filling. Specifically liked the duck confit, escargot & the chocolate pyramid. We also got the seafood pasta which was honestly disappointing.
