Born in 1997, it quickly became popular among locals & visitors, and is now considered a Montreal institution.

The food here was unbelievable. Delicious bread for the table, my friends & I had the cheese platter, breakfast poutine, pesto gnocchi, french toast, chicken caesar salad, basque chicken, mimosas. Out of this world may just be the best food we have ever had!!!

We throughly enjoyed our experience at Modavie. Duck confit was to die for, also the mushroom risotto was great. The real show stopper was service. Our server Rad, was outstanding. Made us feel like family. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Lovely place for date night! We went for a girls dinner as we were visiting for The Weeknd. The team is so accommodating & the food was delicious. We got the lamb shank as they're known for it. Sooooo good. Also the cheesecake was 10/10- The jazz bands adds something special upstairs. Make sure to request to sit near the music because the restaurant is big.

Nous avions eu de très bonnes soirées au Modavie par le passé & étions heureux d'y retourner, cette fois nous étions assis en haut, l'atmosphère la musique & le service sont impeccables, bien que l'excellente musique live nous a paru un peu forte par moment. La morue était généreuse mais trop cuite & accompagnée d'une sauce trop riche. Bien que le repas n'est pas été à la hauteur de nos précédentes visites, le charme du restaurant demeure intact & l'ambiance y est agréable.

My girlfriend & I walked past Modavie & saw the menu outside & we were impressed. Buddy our server was very professional & attentive. He gave us a nice description of all the special items. We ordered the Snails & scallops to start & they were delicious. For the second course, we got Duck Confit & the Lamb rack & it was top tier. The cocktail Red Velvet is highly recommended. There was live music. Felt very romantic. If I ever get to go back to Montreal, I will be visiting Modavie every time I am in town. The pre fix menu is also good if you want to try different items on the menu.

We recently dined at Modavie & had an unforgettable experience. The lamb shank was absolutely amazing-tender, flavorful, & cooked to perfection. Our server, Alvin, went above & beyond to accommodate a gluten allergy, ensuring a safe & enjoyable meal. His attentiveness & support truly enhanced our dining experience. The atmosphere at Modavie is warm & inviting, with the added charm of live music that set the perfect tone for the evening. We felt welcomed & relaxed throughout our visit. Highly recommend Modavie for anyone looking for a delightful dining experience in Montreal!
