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, situé dans le Vieux Montréal, offre une ambiance bistrot française animée avec musique jazz en direct tous les soirs, un service chaleureux et attentionné et une carte de plats classiques tels que la soupe à l'oignon, les escargots, le confit de canard, le carré d'agneau et la poutine. Les convives évoquent régulièrement une cuisine savoureuse, des portions généreuses, un bon choix de vins et de cocktails, et une ambiance accueillante propice à une soirée entre amis ou à une occasion spéciale. La musique live apporte un cadre dynamique sans être trop bruyant selon les avis, mais certains mentionnent des espaces plus bruyants ou un service parfois débordé aux heures d'affluence. Dans l'ensemble, Modavie apparaît comme une adresse fiable pour une cuisine française de qualité, une ambiance chaleureuse et un service attentionné ; la réservation est recommandée. Des plats remarqués incluent le confit de canard, les plats d'agneau et la crème brûlée.
Excellent service, la musique était juste trop bonne & l'ambiance & décor aussi avec le mur en pierre qui reflète l'architecture du vieux port de mtl. Le seul point est que ça parle assez fort, donc si vous voulez un endroit plus calme, ce n'est pas pour vous.

Beautiful food, staff & music throughout the night. Felt full, satisfied & relaxed after an evening of Jazz music fine Italian wine & gorgeous food. It is not cheap but it was a lovely treat & a fair price for the quality.
This was one of the best meals I've had in Montreal, hands down. We had booked another place but decided to cancel last minute & came across Modavie & was intrigued by the menu. We were able to book a table for 5:30pm & so glad we did. We were one of the first tables in & our server, Jessica was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, recommended dishes that she vouched for (ex sweetbread) & a wine (Cotes du Rhone, Le Caillou Rouge) that paired well with our meal. We had never had sweetbread before, & trust me it's not what you think. It's a part of the lamb & if not cooked well, can taste gamey. But Modavie is known for their lamb dishes & the sweetbread was fabulous. We also ordered the lamb chops & it was cooked to perfection. It wasn't over-seasoned, had amazing grill flavour & was so tender. & of course, not gamey at all. We also tried their risotto, French onion soup, & escargots. Oh & the basket of bread. Wow. It was so fresh, so hot that I couldn't stop eating it. The only reason I didn't give'Atmosphere' a 5-star is because we did feel a bit squished in the corner, but understand that most places are like this. This was definitely a meal to remember & Modavie is now on my list of must go-to when in Montreal.

Amazing brunch spot! We have gone a few times over the years, & we always have a great experience. The live music at brunch is amazing. Recently, my wife & I went in the morning of our anniversary, & Lorenzo made an extraordinary effort to make the experience wonderful. I fully recommend Modavie!
This used to be my absolute favourite place to go in Montreal. While the vegetarian options (other than salad) were not that great, they would still accommodate me with their pasta plate. The ambience & live jazz made each experience memorable. However, something has changed in the last few years. There wasn't really anything I could enjoy as a vegetarian other than salads. Really guys, being a vegetarian doesn't mean I like to chew leaves like a cow. Something delicious & warm cooked for those of us that aren't carnivores, would really start to return this restaurant to being one of the top places I would recommend in Montreal.
I had a wonderful dining experience! The food was great, & our server, George, truly made the evening memorable with his amazing hospitality & friendliness. Additionally, the crème brûlée was the best I've ever tasted. Highly recommend!
Une expérience complètement étonnante côté nourriture. C'était parfait 🤩 Cocktail très bon, escargots hyper savoureux, confit de canard & foie gras succulent & que dire de la crème brûlée 💛 Le tout vient par contre avec une facture très salée mais je ne regrette rien. Mon serveur avait par contre oublié de se mettre un sourire aux lèvres. J'aurais du réserver du bon côté de la salle question de voir le spectacle live. Je ne savais pas qu'il avait deux zones en bas & une autre à l'étage avec deux styles de musique différente (jazz & blues).
Went to this restaurant several times for dinner or lunch & all was great! Caring staff, delicious meal, & live jazz band! Highly recommended! Just in case you look for a calmer spot & becasue band plays at first floor, better to book your table at second floor.

Magnifique endroit! Carte des vins dispendieuse, mais de bons choix. L'assiette de charcuterie & fromage manquait un peu de raffinement pour atteindre le niveau de l'ambiance chic laissée par le décor.
A perfect spot with delicious food! My girlfriend & I spent a day in Montreal & came across this restaurant for a late lunch. We didn't have a reservation, but they took us anyways. Everyone in the restaurant was extremely friendly to us! I have a gluten allergy & our server was very knowledgeable about what was safe for me on the menu. We both had the steak & fries, which we agreed was exquisite! The fries were salty & perfectly crunchy. The steak was flavorful & perfectly tender. We also both ordered mocktails. I got the strawberry sour, which was the best mocktail I've ever had. Overall, 10/10 experience & I would love to come back the next time we visit Montreal!
Good service, kind staff. Missed the live jazz since they didn't play on the second floor. Even after reservation, I was led to a seat stuck to the pillar which felt a bit uncomfortable. The vibe was chill although I was unimpressed by how the food was.
Service was good & the vibe was nice, but the food was just not great. I'm always happy to pay for good quality food I enjoy, but for 2 adults & 2 kids, we paid $160 before tip & did not enjoy any of it! The poutine & French onion soup (which is basically why we went!) both tasted strange (my 6 year old who loves poutine said it tasted "sweet" & wouldn't eat more than 2 bites. Our pasta meals were just ok. Would definitely not return.
