Modavie est un lieu intemporel qui nous rappelle nos racines, où dames & messieurs se réunissent pour manger dans une atmosphère animée causée par de bonnes conversations, de la musique live et les parfums boisés d’une salle vintage. Né en 1997, il est rapidement devenu populaire parmi les locaux et les visiteurs, et est maintenant considéré comme une institution montréalaise.
Régalez-vous avec une cuisine française raffinée dans un espace antique et tamisé sur deux étages. Du classique tartare de bœuf, au savoureux ris de veau, en passant par la fameuse ratatouille, vos envies seront facilement rassasiées.
Modavie propose constamment une expérience culinaire mémorable dans le Vieux-Montréal, caractérisée par sa cuisine de bistro français classique, son atmosphère invitante et sa musique jazz live de grande qualité. De nombreux convives louent les délicieux plats d'agneau, le confit de canard et les entrées savoureuses comme la soupe à l'oignon et les escargots. Le service est fréquemment décrit comme professionnel, accueillant et attentionné, de nombreux membres du personnel étant reconnus pour leur capacité à rendre les occasions spéciales vraiment personnalisées et mémorables. Bien que l'environnement puisse devenir animé et parfois bruyant en raison de sa popularité et des performances musicales, il demeure une destination privilégiée tant pour les locaux que pour les voyageurs recherchant une atmosphère authentique et élégante. Bien que certains convives aient noté des variations dans l'assaisonnement ou des temps d'attente occasionnels pendant les heures de pointe, la majorité des visiteurs apprécient les cocktails bien préparés, la vaste carte des vins et l'hospitalité sincère qui les incite à revenir.
Anytime we're in Montreal we visit this place. I love live music & the atmosphere. We had a table right by the music band, it was loud but we came to listen to the band! Other rooms are less loud.
Jazzy romantic vibe!
The food was impressive! Duck, lamb. However a bit over salted in my opinion.
My daughter had a nice birthday cake for her birthday 🎈

We had a lovely lunch here. The atmosphere was wonderful, & the live jazz music made the experience very enjoyable. The service was friendly, & the presentation of the dishes was beautiful.
We tried several dishes so we could share & compare. The shrimp was probably our favorite. The garlic snails were okay, but not especially memorable.
A small suggestion for future guests: the house salad comes with quite a generous amount of dressing, so if you prefer a lighter flavor, you may want to ask for the dressing on the side. I also ordered the duck breast. It was cooked nicely, but I personally found it a little rich because of the duck fat, the sweet berry sauce, & the mashed potatoes together. If you prefer lighter dishes, the seafood options might be a better choice.
Overall, we still enjoyed our visit & would happily come back to try other dishes.
These five stars go to our server, Taylor! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I visited Modavie with my cousin last Sunday (July 26).
We got a wonderful table right in front of the stage, which made the atmosphere even more special.
For appetizers, we ordered the French onion soup & the bone marrow. They were a little too oily & salty for my taste.
For our main courses, we had the mussels & fries & the duck confit. The mussels were one of the best I've ever had! The duck confit was also delicious & cooked perfectly.
An unforgettable dining experience in Old Montreal! From the moment we walked in, everything was exceptional. The service was truly outstanding - attentive, personalized & genuinely welcoming. The staff made us feel like valued guests throughout the entire evening.
The food was absolutely incredible. The beef tartare was one of the best I've ever had, the French onion soup was rich, flavorful & perfectly prepared, the escargots were delicious, & the duck was cooked to perfection - tender, juicy & full of flavor.
Their wine selection is outstanding, with an impressive variety to complement every dish.
Beautiful atmosphere, impeccable service, & unforgettable food. This is the kind of restaurant that makes you want to return every time you're in Montreal. Highly recommended!!!

A beautiful & delicious French establishment perfectly situated in Old Montreal, flanked by adorable shops, cafes, & more to explore along Rue St-Paul Ouest. General Manager Lorenzo was warm, welcoming, & friendly with all guests, adding to the lively ambiance. Menu favorites of mine included the Salmon Tartare, Onion Soup, & Duck Confit. Unfortunately, I did not get to return during later evening hours for the live music, but hope to be back soon! Cheers to Lorenzo & his Team for a wonderful experience.
Very unique brunch experience. The duck waffle was something special, & the croque madame with lamb was insanely tasty - I honestly can't even decide which one I liked more. Beautiful atmosphere, live music, & such a nice attentive staff. Definitely a place worth coming back to!!
