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. While the environment can become lively and occasionally loud due to its popularity and musical performances, it remains a favorite destination for both locals and travelers seeking an authentic and elegant atmosphere.

I like the lamb rack & the scallop in the pasta is really good. You can enjoy the jazz music & great atmosphere at the same time.

It was a great place....Fernandino was an amazing maitre'de! & if you are reading this - "Vous êtes un homme bon" :) Loved the conversations with him & the food....A bit pricey for the drinks, but then I'd say 5 Stars to the place & the people!!

I wish there was a 10 star rating. This place exceeded our expectations by far. The service, the drinks, the food, the entertainment were all amazing. Our bartender Sal made the best dirty martini. Lorenzo...well he took care of us like we were family! We dined upstairs & Tyler was our server. Again...another top notch employee of Modavie. I had the signature rack of lamb & it didn't disappoint. Delicious! My friends had the filet mignon & salmon. All raved about their food. Look no further for a memorable dinner in old Montreal! I guarantee...you won't be disappointed.

Overall a very positive experience here. Staff were incredibly kind & attentive. Live music & a beautiful interior lead to atmosphere that is very enjoyable. We ate from the MTL'restaurant week', & everything was fantastic -- except for my lamb. 4 large bone-in pieces on my plate that were barely edible. Extremely fatty, & in some spots raw, not the medium-rare I ordered. Everything else was fantastic though so maybe just some bad luck.
