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 live music is fun, the service is personable which makes you feel welcomed & comfortable. The food didn't disappoint either, they make a great rack of lamb.

Went here for dinner on a Sunday eve. Reservations recommended. Staff were all very friendly, with prompt service. The atmosphere was nice, with live music that starts later in evening. Food was good! Good portion, nice flavouring & présentation that you don't get too often. We had the octopus (good stuff), mussels +fries (good portion), catch of the day (nicely done walleye that eve). Would return again to try the other menu offerings.

We came on Saturday after 5pm mass at the Basilica & shockingly were able to get seated without a reservation. Good wine list & cocktails. I had the filet mignon. All the food was delicious, service was good & my 1 year old was dancing to the live jazz music! Great experience!

Lorenzo's excellent service turned a great brunch into a phenomenal experience to be remembered. I recommend the duck waffles or the braised lamb. The live music is enjoyable & the ambience is very rustic yet cozy. Thank you again to Lorenzo & the team who took care of us today.

À recommander ! Le lieux est bien décoré, le service de Christian & Nicolaï était excellent, les escargots valent la peine, les cavatellis à l'agneau étaient délicieux.

Good service & food was good. The live music was bit too loud we couldn't hear each other others around the table.
