We had a lovely dinner at this charming French restaurant. We ordered the house salad, onion soup, & rack of lamb. Everything was delicious & beautifully presented. The lamb was a bit more cooked than I would have preferred, but it was still flavorful.
Service was friendly & attentive. We were seated in the room next to the live music, which was perfect - we could enjoy the ambiance while still having an easy conversation. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I'd happily recommend.
Live music, tasteful food, & great service. The location is good, but parking can be tough because the area is always busy. Still, it's definitely worth visiting.

Went to Modavie on a Wednesday night & it was packed. I loved the whole experience. From the food, to entertainment, to the service, it was amazing. I ordered lamb chops & they were delicious.
I also had cold crème brûlée for dessert & wanted to order more. Finally I had tea to digest.
Our server's name was William & was remarkable, quick, efficient, polite.
There was also a jazz band that made the whole experience much more enjoyable. I will definitely come back!
Good food, but weird reservation system. Have to specify that you want to sit near live music when reserving, otherwise you will be sat far away where you can not hear the live music.
Walked in with no reservation & was immediately sat! The restaurant itself beautiful, very cozy & it was the perfect place to people watch. My drink was delicious, as were the scallops & filet mignon. Everything was cooked to perfection. My waiter was also extremely attentive, he provided the BEST service. I will definitely be returning my next visit to this gorgeous city!
This is one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in a long time. The poutine was excellent, as was the filet mignon. The atmosphere & service a really, really good too. I would happily eat here again.
What a lovely spot. The food is excellent - the best mussels & broth I've had in my life! Cocktails are clean & delicious. Ambiance & timeless decor make this a lovely spot for lunch, cocktails, or dinner. Will absolutely be back to explore the menu more!
Food was excellent. The lamb cavatelli was excellent & so was the steak frites. The service was beyond belief. Rarely do we go to any restuarant with actual professional wait staff. Tyler was impeccable, aware, attentive, but not bothersome or rushing the experience. Hope the establishment treasures him! A perfect special dinner out on our Montreal mini vacation.
Service was wonderful. Lorenzo personified the humor & tolerance of the Canadian people. Caroline was wonderful & warm. The food was meticulously prepared.
A very nice atmosphere but middling food & very slow service. The french onion soup was just okay (a bit salty & lacking in wine flavor) & while the lamb cavatelli & mushroom risotto were delicious, the lamb shank was extremely disappointing, it didn't have any sauce & was pretty overcooked (I ordered medium rare, but it was tough & bland). The moules & frites were oversalted & the cream sauce tasted like hot cream & nothing else. The accompaniment of vegetables & basic potatoes was nothing to note either. Neither the creme brulee (eggy & grainy) nor the mousse pyramid (one note) were great either. I wouldn't recommend this place for the price, feels like a bit of a tourist trap.
Had a very good meal. The jazz music have a very relaxing atmosphere. The food was very well prepared & tasted very good. I had a steak, next time I think I would try something different. Desserts were good.
My favourite place to eat in our 2 week trip across east Canada. Beautiful restaurant that oozes charm & character. The food was delicious & the atmosphere was perfectly complemented with a superb live jazz band.
This restaurant creates memories you'll never forget 😊👌
Lorenzo greeted us at the door with a smile & made us feel at home (even though we flew in from across country!) & Shania was an amazing server. Please don't miss out on this gem in Montreal!!
