We dined here on January 19 & everything was phenomenal! Our server, the head server, was very personable, interactive & all around amazing! The cocktails were perfect & balanced, & all the food left us wanting to come back for more. The next time we are in Montreal, it will be a must to dine here. Many thanks for such a wonderful meal experience!

We were recommended to go here by our hotel because we wanted to listen to live music. We were far from disappointed. We came for brunch & Lorenzo made us feel at home the moment we arrived & the music really set the tone. To top it off the food is delicious & we couldn't wait to come back to try dinner. We came back again that evening & we were served by George who created a seamless experience for us & our two young kids. We appreciated his wine suggestions & once again the food was so delicious. This restaurant really was the highlight of our trip, if you're looking for a cool vibe with live music, delicious food & great staff this is your place ! Nicole

Good lunch at Modavie, in which I could appreciate the professional staff, the warm decor & some good food. In particular, I enjoyed my salmon dish with various vegetables & I also enjoyed the broccoli soup that they brought us as a complimentary entrée. For a dish each, we paid around 90 CAD (taxes & tip included) which is not the cheapest thing but aligned with the quality & general atmosphere of the place.
