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.
Lost diamond ring - $2,000 reward.
I'm feeling devastated after my wife misplacing her engagement ring on November 2 at 8:00 PM. We were at the table right in front of the live music stage. This piece is deeply sentimental, & we are heartsick that it's gone. We know it's a desperate move, but if you come across it, please hand it to the manager of the restaurant or reach me directly. I'm offering a $2,000 cash reward, no questions asked, for its safe return.
I also want to acknowledge the Modavie team -the whole team patiently searched with me, checked around the stage & nearby areas, & stayed so kind & friendly throughout. We are truly grateful for their effort & care.
Delicious food, wonderful ambiance, & lively entertainment. The restaurant was accommodating even though we arrived without reservations. They provided a reasonable time frame for a table, recommendations for a nearby bar, & had everything set for our return.
I had dinner here with a friend, & it was a great experience! I ordered the steak & fries , they were absolutely fantastic. The place has a really nice vibe, & I loved my pomegranate mocktail. Definitely worth visiting!

Great spot for a quick brunch in Old City Montreal. Came here with my partner & enjoyed a quiet environment with great service. The Modavie for brunch was divine. Definitely would come back again!
I came here because of its reputation, but it was not as good as I expected. The food was not so amazing, the service was average, parking was difficult, the restaurant was a bit noisy, & the price did not match.
Went on Sunday for the jazz brunch. I had the salade Nicoise & my wife the eggs Benedict with lamb. Great atmosphere, food & music by a cool 3 piece combo.
Quelle belle soirée nous avons passé auprès de l'équipe de Modavie!
Les plats y sont très raffinés, les musiciens talentueux & les serveurs professionnels & sympathiques, on recommande !
This is the 2nd time I come to this place & this time was with the boys. This place is a vibe, at the heart of old Montreal. It's quite spacious, & seats a lot of people. The live band is appreciated. The first time we came, the food was below our expectations for the price. Few years later, I would say it's the same. The food was still mediocre, & could honestly be more. There's no wow factor, the food does not stand out sadly. We had quite a few appetizers & I had the lamb. The first time we had the duck confit, it was just ok as well. However, the atmosphere & service were on point.

Stopped in for the live music. Hung out waiting for a flight & had great food & cocktails. Fois Gras & Onion Soup were perfect. Excellent space & bar too!!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Modavie in Old Montreal, & it was truly an experience to remember. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, attentive service & the smooth sounds of live jazz filling the space, we ordered the Salmon Tatar, Caesar salad, the duck confit & rack of lamb, & every dishes were absolutely exceptional. The duck was rich & tender, with perfectly crispy skin , crunchy almonds & a beautifully balanced sauce that brought everything together. The rack of lamb was equally impressive - cooked to a perfect medium rare, juicy & full of flavor, with a herb crust that added just the right touch. We had the crème brûlée & tasted really nice! Modavie is a fantastic spot for a special night out - whether you're a local or just visiting Montreal like us, I'd highly recommend it. Great food, great service, & a unique atmosphere that brings everything together. We accidentally forgot & left our credit card on the table as we left Canada to New York. The staff called us & let us know about it. We really appreciated your honesty. That means a lot thank you so much!!!
