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.
From the greeting at the door to the last bite, the service was pleasant & professional. Our waiter Quentin was great. He was very busy but efficient, kind & professional. Food was well prepared & delicious. ( calamari, lamb cavitelli & lamb chops, paired with a nice wine & completed with cheesecake & chocolate mousse). Highly recommend.
I walked in solo without reservations at 4pm for Modavie's dinner service. They accommodated me easily with a cozy 2 top near a window, but let me know I'd have to be done within 2 hours.
The waiter was friendly, brought me table bread quickly & recommended a great glass of red wine that paired perfectly with my lamb chops.
The meal, the music & the service were all 10/10.

Fantastic service, very prompt & welcoming. The only reason Im giving a 4 for food, is because I asked my lamb chops medium rare...& as you can see, they were medium.
We came here 3 years ago as a local recommended Modavie for their french onion soup that I was so hungry for. It was a great exprience then. We found ourselves back in Montreal & there was no quesion where we wanted to go for our nice meal. Everything was superb! The lamb chops were exceptional!! Service was quick but not rushed. Our server, Patrice, was amazing as well & very well, but not overly attentive. Looking forward to coming back again!
This place was recommended to me by a local, & I am from Calgary. Based on the recommendation I had very high expectations, & maybe that is on me for having such high expectations. The service was excellent, the appetizers very tasty, the main dish slightly above average when compared to other places I have tried in Montreal & Calgary. The atmosphere is fantastic, & the location unbeatable. I would like to come back & perhaps try a different main dish. I had my heart (& taste buds) set on the Duck Confite & ended up ordering the Lamp Chops, & even though I like Lamb, this dish was simply not special, as mentioned before about average or maybe slightly above average. I am giving it a 5 star review overall for the other reasons (Location, service, atmosphere, & the experience itself)
We initially wanted to come for the table d'hôte but the dinner menu looked delicious so we just ordered from there.
We ordered 2 dishes from the Classics side of the menu & 1 dish from the house specials.
Classics included the Mushroom risotto, which was a cheesy goodness featuring plenty of mushrooms & the other was the mussels & fries, which it in itself is always a classic. The white wine sauce was so complimentary for dipping the fries in & the mussels were so fresh.
The house specials featured the lamb chops, which I'm not usually a fan of, as sometimes too gamey, but these chops were cooked so well. The veggies were roasted so nicely, & included carrots, parsnips, zucchini & potatoes.
We visited during lunch on a weekday, so it wasn't too busy. Perfect for a lunch date. The server & the manager were accommodating of our stroller & us baby wearing our baby while eating lunch. Such nice hospitality, will definitely visit again!
Had an amazing meal here to end our vacation in Montreal! The Mushroom Risotto looks small but is surprisingly filling, & the mushrooms are incredibly fragrant. The Poutine had a sauce that was flavorful but not too heavy, really impressed us. Lamb chop were very tender & fried calamari were also delicious, & the warm bread was a lovely touch. The dessert was very tasty, we had apple strudel & cream brûlée were both outstanding. They also have live band in dinner time , we enjoyed so much. Great customer & vibe , definitely return again.
