Be prepared to spend for sure. It was a very expensive dinner. Portions are huge. Went on a Tuesday night. The live jazz was good & the restaurant was packed. Food is pricy but good. Poutine & Mussels were excellent. Wine was alright, not the best.

L'assiette de charcuterie & de fromage était vraiment excellente : délicieuse, généreuse & savoureuse. Le plat principal de côtelettes d'agneaux, en revanche, a laissé à désirer. Malgré ma demande de cuisson à point, médium/saignant, certaines pièces de viande étaient brûlées & l'assiette dans l'ensemble manquait de richesse; peut-être faudrait-il quelque chose de plus saisissante? En ce qui concerne l'ambiance, je pense qu'une sortie au restaurant vise avant tout à partager des moments avec nos amis & notre famille. Cependant, la musique, bien que de qualité, étouffait par moments nos échanges, rendant la communication ardue même depuis une table plus éloignée de la scène. Ce n'est pas que la musique n'était pas agréable, au contraire, elle était simplement un peu trop forte. La soirée s'est tout de même bien terminée, au côté de notre serveur bien chaleureux.

First night ever in Montreal & as luck would have it we stumbled into this great place! George, our server, was awesome! He took great care of us & happily attended to all our needs. He even hand wrote a list of places to see while in Montreal. Hubert, the bartender was also awesome! He also took great care of us! A great conversationalist who made great drinks! He also wrote down some places to go to. The manager, I believe her name was Jane, was great. I cannot recommend this place enough! Oh, & by the way, the food was great!

Lors de notre semaine à Montréal en novembre dernier, nous sommes venus 3 fois chez Modavie, tant nous avons apprécié la cuisine, l'accueil, l'ambiance & la décoration. On attend avec impatience d'y revenir 😇.
