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.

Grand Restaurant avec beaucoup de places, la musique est forte dans une piece & beaucoup plus calme dans un autre. Les plats sont bien presentes, bons, des specialites françaises comme la creme brulee & les escargots. Je recommanderai Le tartare de boeuf & la creme brulee valent le detou

Nous avons passé une très bonne soirée hier au restaurant. Le menu du happening gourmand est un bon rapport qualité prix. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la musique & avons été très bien servi par Georges. Nous le remercions pour son professionnalisme & sa sympathie!

Me & my boyfriend came here with high expectations considering this place is on the'top rated' lists of restaurants in Montreal. Very overrated place. Surprisingly the food was really disappointing, for the price paid we expected a lot more flavour but we could've made better at home. Only 2-3 choices of wine by the glass or excessive prices for bottles. I've eaten at many other places for 20-30$ per person & got better food. Save your money. Only thing that was good was the service & live jazz.

Lovely bistro with incredible service, delicious brunch (especially the onion soup!), & talented live musician. If we lived in Montreal, we'd visit every weekend. Special thank you to George for the excellent attention & service!

great spot in old montreal. went there after a play at centaur theatre. menu is a bit fancier, no cheeseburgers or chain restaurant type meals. I had lamb burger. not cheap but with live music & highend flood you have to pay more.
