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.

The most delicious mushroom risotto & excellent pesto gnocchi. Accompanied by lovely cocktails & fantastic live jazz music. It was loud, but we loved listening to the music.

Reservation highly recommended. It's a popular restaurant in Montreal old town & they have live music every night. However we were a little disappointed to find that it was not jazz/blues music on the day of our visit. Food is not tasty but portions are large. Northing to complain nor be impressed.

Nice room. Lively. Lamb chops excellent. Also ordered fish special which was Lake Trout. Was served the Salmon BUT it looked delicious so I dived right in! Delicious! Plus, saved $2 as the Trout on my bill was less than the Salmon I was served! 😆
