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 offre une ambiance chaleureuse au coeur du Vieux-Montréal, avec une programmation live jazz qui sublime les repas et un service attentif. La cuisine française bistrot est régulièrement louée pour sa fraîcheur et ses saveurs, avec des plats phares comme le confit de canard, les côtelettes d'agneau et le risotto aux champignons, servis en portions généreuses et bien présentés. Le cadre est élégant et vivant, adapté aussi bien aux dîners romantiques qu'aux repas entre amis, et la carte des vins et les cocktails complètent l experience. Bien que le bruit et l'espace puissent être évoqués, les retours convergent sur une expérience globale positive et une adresse à recommander pour profiter de bonne nourriture, d'un service efficace et d'une ambiance musicale agréable.
We came here recently & had a great time overall. It's a nice place down in Old Montreal to grab a bite or have some drinks. The restaurant has a nice vibe & they had a live band playing that night which was pretty cool. The service was very good considering it does get quite busy here at times so I'd highly recommend getting a reservation. The Food was above average as well. Some items on the appetizers could've been a bit better but the main courses were top notch. The Lamb was probably one of the best I've ever tried & the Filet Minion was exceptional as well. The Cocktails were all really good & the dessert was enjoyable too. I'd definitely recommend to give this place a try as I'm sure I will return again myself whenever I visit again.
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 !
Great place for French food & live music. The rack of lamb was some of the best I've had at a restaurant & our server was very helpful on helping us pick out our wine, appetizer & desserts. Will be back!
We had an amazing meal at Modavie. Our server, George, gave us great suggestions from the wine to main dishes to desserts. Everything was on point. He was very attentive & friendly. Go for the lamb chops. They are to die for! My son has the mussels & my husband had the duck- both superb. In addition, there's live music which gives the experience a nice touch. We wanted to have a great French meal & Modavie did not disappoint. ❤️❤️❤️
Highly recommend Modavie - amazing service, & great ambiance in old Montreal. I ordered the mussels & fries, & they were delicious! I also saw in the side of the restaurant with live music, & it was lovely. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for French cuisine in Montreal!

Hello, I was at your restaurant last evening & what an amazing experience because of Sal. We were going to be seating at a table but he said no sit at the bar & he didn't disappoint us. He had great drink suggestions as well as food suggestions. Great service, amazing food & the ambiance was cool. Live music 🎶 made it fun to get up & dance 💃 Thank you. Laurie
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!
Avec un service attentif & courtois impeccable, une ambiance chaleureuse dans un décor avec beaucoup de charme, une ambiance musicale juste présente sans être gênante. Le menu offre une riche variété de plats de quoi satisfaire toutes les bouches & tous les gouts. Les plats sont juste assez copieux & vraiment savoureux pour un prix tout à fait raisonnable ....& pour finir, le tiramisu est juste excellentissime ! On va revenir, c'est sûr.
Amazing food & really love the decor, there's also live music Friday evening. Great service & friendly staff, food came relatively quick. My favourite is the lamb chop & mushroom risotto!

the live music is fun, the service is personable which makes you feel welcomed & comfortable. The food didn't disappoint either, they make a great rack of lamb.
Lorenzo's excellent service turned a great brunch into a phenomenal experience to be remembered. I recommend the duck waffles or the braised lamb. The live music is enjoyable & the ambience is very rustic yet cozy. Thank you again to Lorenzo & the team who took care of us today.
Great place to eat ,atmosphere has good vibes & Lorenzo was a pleasure to meet with my sisters. He had a great sense of humour. Thank you for being a highlight to our first visit in Montreal. We will definitely be back 😊 I got the lamb cavatelli it was so delicious.
Amazing food, service & ambiance. We had the snails followed by the lamb chops & mushroom risotto. Everything was delicious. Creme brûlée for dessert was also amazing. Cocktails were great, mirage was delicious - only critique would be that they could offer more wines by the glass. But the ones offered were enough to pair with the meal.
Nestled in the heart of Old Port, Modavie stands out as a culinary beacon, even if you have to navigate through some construction to get there. The diverse menu caters to a variety of tastes, ensuring there's something for everyone. I had the pleasure of trying the Lamb Cavatelli, & it was a delightful fusion of tender lamb & perfectly cooked pasta that danced on my palate. The live music added an extra layer of charm to the experience, enhancing the already cozy ambiance. It's not just about the food at Modavie; it's about the entire experience. The service was impeccable - attentive & timely, without being intrusive. It's clear that Modavie values its customers & understands the essence of hospitality. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Modavie is a must-visit spot in Montreal's Old Port. Don't let a little construction keep you from this fantastic dining experience! :P
Friendly stuff. We arrived & they told us the kitchen closes in 30 minutes. Food came promptly & delicious. Crème brûlée had a crunchy top & sweet no stinky egg smell. Fois a gras was whole not past. Lamb chops were tender & well seasoned. They had live jazz but it was over when we got there. Parking is difficult at this time because the city has the whole street dug up even Uber couldn't drop us in front of the door. we had to walk then change sidewalks so we weren't sure if it's open or not but we got closer we saw like a bridge over construction to get to the door.
I would return again & again purely to see Lorenzo & have the experience with him! He is truly wonderful! The young lady with the gold glasses was delightful (sorry I don't know her name). Music, ambiance, wine choice & food, all delicious! We were recommended by friends in Toronto as British visitors, it didn't disappoint. Thank you so much 🍸
