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.

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.

I do not recommend coming to this restaurant because it was a huge disappointment for us. We had a reso but the restaurant was not busy at all, with many empty tables inside. Our server greeted us & we placed both a drink & food order. My mom got her coffee right away but I think the server forgot my wine. I sat & waited for 30 minutes before I got impatient & tried to flag the server down. When we finally got our food, which also took a really long time, it was mediocre. We ordered the mussels & fries & when the guy who delivered it opened the cover of the bowl, a mussel fell onto my mom's foot. The fries were also cold & soggy. The grilled octopus was okay. It was also cold & for the price I thought it would be a bigger portion. In total we spent over $100 cdn & it was not worth the money to me.

Modavie exceeded expectations on a Saturday night when our party of four managed to snag a table without a reservation, a pleasant surprise given the busy weekend atmosphere. From the moment we sat down, we were greeted with the lively ambiance of a live performance by Solane by Starlight Trio Swing, adding a charming jazz vibe to the evening. We began with a bottle of Chablis, Seguinot - Bordet 2022 - Chardonnay, a crisp & refreshing choice that paired well with the meal. For appetizers, we had the mussels & fries, a solid choice with mussels cooked perfectly, accompanied by crispy fries. The steak & fries followed, & though not the standout of the night, it was prepared to our liking. The salmon filet was the highlight, cooked to perfection with a great balance of flavors. To round off the night, we all shared two servings of the crème brûlée. A classic choice, it was executed well, providing a satisfying & sweet end to the meal. The ambiance, music, & food made for an enjoyable evening. Modavie offers a cozy, jazz-infused dining experience, especially great for a night out in Old Montreal.

Super repas & le service au top. Nous étions la bas lorsqu'un groupe jouait ce qui ajoute au charme du restaurant.
