About Us

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.

Excellent service, la musique était juste trop bonne & l'ambiance & décor aussi avec le mur en pierre qui reflète l'architecture du vieux port de mtl. Le seul point est que ça parle assez fort, donc si vous voulez un endroit plus calme, ce n'est pas pour vous.View more

Beautiful food, staff & music throughout the night. Felt full, satisfied & relaxed after an evening of Jazz music fine Italian wine & gorgeous food. It is not cheap but it was a lovely treat & a fair price for the quality.View more

This was one of the best meals I've had in Montreal, hands down. We had booked another place but decided to cancel last minute & came across Modavie & was intrigued by the menu. We were able to book a table for 5:30pm & so glad we did. We were one of the first tables in & our server, Jessica was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, recommended dishes that she vouched for (ex sweetbread) & a wine (Cotes du Rhone, Le Caillou Rouge) that paired well with our meal. We had never had sweetbread before, & trust me it's not what you think. It's a part of the lamb & if not cooked well, can taste gamey. But Modavie is known for their lamb dishes & the sweetbread was fabulous. We also ordered the lamb chops & it was cooked to perfection. It wasn't over-seasoned, had amazing grill flavour & was so tender. & of course, not gamey at all. We also tried their risotto, French onion soup, & escargots. Oh & the basket of bread. Wow. It was so fresh, so hot that I couldn't stop eating it. The only reason I didn't give'Atmosphere' a 5-star is because we did feel a bit squished in the corner, but understand that most places are like this. This was definitely a meal to remember & Modavie is now on my list of must go-to when in Montreal.View more

Amazing brunch spot! We have gone a few times over the years, & we always have a great experience. The live music at brunch is amazing. Recently, my wife & I went in the morning of our anniversary, & Lorenzo made an extraordinary effort to make the experience wonderful. I fully recommend Modavie!View more

This used to be my absolute favourite place to go in Montreal. While the vegetarian options (other than salad) were not that great, they would still accommodate me with their pasta plate. The ambience & live jazz made each experience memorable. However, something has changed in the last few years. There wasn't really anything I could enjoy as a vegetarian other than salads. Really guys, being a vegetarian doesn't mean I like to chew leaves like a cow. Something delicious & warm cooked for those of us that aren't carnivores, would really start to return this restaurant to being one of the top places I would recommend in Montreal.View more

Une expérience complètement étonnante côté nourriture. C'était parfait 🤩 Cocktail très bon, escargots hyper savoureux, confit de canard & foie gras succulent & que dire de la crème brûlée 💛 Le tout vient par contre avec une facture très salée mais je ne regrette rien. Mon serveur avait par contre oublié de se mettre un sourire aux lèvres. J'aurais du réserver du bon côté de la salle question de voir le spectacle live. Je ne savais pas qu'il avait deux zones en bas & une autre à l'étage avec deux styles de musique différente (jazz & blues).View more

Went to this restaurant several times for dinner or lunch & all was great! Caring staff, delicious meal, & live jazz band! Highly recommended! Just in case you look for a calmer spot & becasue band plays at first floor, better to book your table at second floor.View more
