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 consistently offers a memorable dining experience in Old Montreal, characterized by its classic French bistro cuisine, inviting atmosphere, and high-quality live jazz music. Many guests praise the delicious lamb dishes, duck confit, and flavorful appetizers like the French onion soup and escargots. The service is frequently described as professional, welcoming, and attentive, with numerous staff members noted for their ability to make special occasions feel truly personalized and celebratory.

Live band for brunch which is great. Service is great, & they accommodate group reservations. Only reason for 4 stars is the cost- don't know if the food justifies the cost. But overall great atmosphere & a nice place to take a break from roaming around the old port.

Came here for dinner expecting a great experience as per previous reviews but was left disappointed. Food was pretty bland & could absolutely use more flavour. Atmosphere was nice, the place is pretty, & the live music was a lovely touch. Service was fine, nothing outstanding. Seats are not comfortable & the tables are quote small

Very sub par. We were extremely excited to come here based on other reviews but we were disappointed. The tables were crammed in so tight & seat so uncomfortable, waiters pushing by every few seconds. The food was very bland. Not bad but not good. Service was poor, disappointed!

Food was good, expensive for what it is though. Service was subpar. Wouldn't be returning especially for the price.

Excellente expérience hier soir avec notre groupe d'affaire de 10 personne. Notre serveur Patrice a été serviable, dynamique & accueillant. Nous avons tous aimé nos repas & le vin.
