Modavie est un très beau restaurant dans le vieux-port de Montréal. Il offre une très belle table d'hôte le midi. La nourriture est vraiment bonne & le service est attentionné. Si vous êtes amateur de musique, je vous conseille également d'y aller en soirée où divers artistes vont sur scène pour accompagner votre bon repas.

A long overdue review - October 2025

I have been to Montreal a few times with friends, but it was always a short trip & I didn't have time to dine in. This time, I went with my sister, who is a first-timer in the city. We were only staying for a few days, but I made a list of restaurants to try. As we were walking around, we got hungry, & Modavie was on my list & close by. We didn't make a reservation since we didn't know when our activity would end, but it was after lunch, so I knew it might not be busy. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a lovely, gentle older man. He made us feel right at home.

The female server greeted us once we were seated, & she had such a calming aura. I asked for her recommendations for wine & followed her suggestion based on the meals I was having. My sister ordered their lunch five-meal special, & I ordered their specialty, which was the rack of lamb, with a cheese platter appetizer. The lamb was cooked to perfection & seasoned well-rich & tender! We loved the cheese platter as well. The foie gras was amazing; it melted in my mouth. On the other hand, my sister thought her main would be a salmon dish, but pasta was the main course, which she wanted to avoid since we had recently had pasta, but it was still alright! We ordered crème brûlée because I had read a glowing review about it. It was creamy & delicious!

This restaurant was our first stop & made a great impression with its food & service, so we were even more inspired to try many other restaurants in Quebec.

My husband & I don't always get the chance to have a date night, once or twice a year I would say. We almost aways go to Modavie as the atmosphere, food, drink & service always proves to be amazing. On January 17th, our expectations were surpassed & our evening was absolutely perfect.
We were seated in Isma's (apologies for mis spelling of her name). Right from the start she was attentive. I was unsure of which wine to choose, & she brought me 2 samples.
The food was beyond good, we had the risotto & the steak frites.
To end our night, we were even presented a glass of dessert wine on the house.
Our night was absolutely special & our next date night will definitely be back at Modavie in Isma's section! Thank you so much!

Food is just ok. Steak was very boring. Foie gras cold & bone marrow too vinegary . Service is amazing! My husband got wine that was oxidized,but he was too shy to replace it. Best part is that they open at 4 for dinner, if you want early meal.

An amazing brunch place! The vibe, the restaurant, & the food-everything was just top-notch. I tried the lamb chops & the salmon tartare, & they were both excellent.
A must-try.

Service was great! Food portions were french size but plenty! Place was loud & I was close to entry door so it was cold the entire time!

I didn't eat here. So when I'm saying That I'm reading this as a Four star. That's based off of my experience & the cocktail menu. So I can't speak to the food selection or anything like that.

That being said we came here with the hopes of watching live jazz. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that that ended at 10 PM. So we were a little bummed that we had just missed it. We decided to sit at the bar to have a cocktail anyhow.

I forget the name of the one I ordered, but it was a tequila-based drink with coconut milk. It was really nice but a little bit on the sweet side for me. I didn't end up finishing it. Which is a shame because these drinks are definitely very expensive.

My coworkers each had an old-fashioned & they said that there's were quite lovely. Also, expensive however.

The bar area was nice good vibe in there. The bartender didn't seem to want to converse with us so he was a little bit grumpy. It seemed when I go back? Yes as long as there was live jazz happening. No if there was no jazz.
