When the six of us entered Modavie for lunch we had no expectations but really like the decor & ambience of this bistro. We ordered from the lunch menu expecting small portions. Wow, tp our pleasant surprise the portions were very generous & delicious. The Red snapper & the Duck confit in particular were delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant if you want good food at outstanding value & quality.

Just enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Modavie. Despite the fact that it was a holiday (unbeknownst to us), they graciously accepted us as guests without a reservation. There was live entertainment upstairs which we enjoyed immensely. We started with onion soup. Although it was not what we anticipated, it was still delicious & flavorful. They are known for their lamb dishes, so we had the lamb chop dinner with seasonal veggies & the rack of lamb. Both enhanced with a side of foie gras. The lamb dishes were cooked to order "saignant." Both were seasoned perfectly. The rack of lamb came with a sauce that really set off the flavor of the beef ! Service was attentive & friendly. This restaurant is a 5/5 rating in service, food & ambiance. Although not inexpensive, considering the USD to Canadian dollar exchange rate, it was actually very reasonable when you consider all things put together. So yes, I highly recommend trying Modavie when you visit old Montreal - you won't be disappointed !

Had an amazing meal with a fantastic bottle of wine while Jazz music played live in the background. I took my fiancé here for a birthday dinner & it did not disappoint. The crème brûlée was the cherry on top. Highly recommend!

This restaurant is my favourite in Montreal. I had the pleasure to visit yesterday & today. For appetizers I highly recommend the French onion soup & sweet bread. My friend said the escargot was the best it contained the perfect seasoning balance. The lamb chops are amazing & so is the duck confit. Every cocktail I tried was delicious. Don't forget to get the crème brûlée. The server was meticulous & Lorenzo took great care of us, what a gem of a person! I will definitely be back when we visit Montreal next!

Fantastic. One of'many' great places to eat in Old Montreal. Having said that, Modavie stood out as being one of the best. Service was excellent, the decor & live music was great as well. The food......perfection! French Onion soup & the Duck Confit were both the best we've had yet. The'huge' bowl of local muscles was also the best. Highly recommended!!! 😀

My friend & I decided to have dinner at this place due to the high ratings on Google. Now, after analyzing all the reviews, I realized they must be fake, since some of the images are repetitive. Everyone was raving about the food! First, the good things - the service was indeed excellent; our server was attentive & timely, & the hostess was accommodating, seating us upstairs so we could be a part of a jazz performance. We sat down & ordered our drinks, which were great! Then, we ordered bone marrow, foie gras, & scallops as appetizers. All of them were warm & tasted mediocre. Particularly, the foie gras came on top of a piece of bread, which was soaking through in fat. I understand that foie gras is very fatty, yet I was expecting the bread to provide a balancing bite, but it was so overpowering, I could not eat it. For the main course, we ordered lamb, which was highly recommended by other diners on Google (turns out they were fake reviews), & fries. The fries were soggy, & the lamb dish came out cold with all the soggy, sad-looking vegetables. I just could not eat it & asked our server to reheat it, which he did & I ate it afterwards. Initially, we wanted to have dessert, but after such a terrible food experience, we couldn't wait to go somewhere else instead! I don't know, maybe they were busy, & we had bad luck, yet the entire restaurant wasn't full. We won't be returning!
