About us
Modavie is a timeless place that brings us back to our roots, where ladies & gents gather and eat in a lively atmosphere caused by great conversation, live music and the wooden scents of a vintage room. Born in 1997, it quickly became popular among locals & visitors, and is now considered a Montreal institution.
Treat yourself to refined French fare in an antique & dimmed corner locale spawning two floors. From the classic beef tartare, to tasty sweetbread, to the famous ratatouille, your cravings will be easily satiated.

This place is absolutely perfect! The food was delicious, & our server, Christian, was super attentive. He really gave a boost to our experience! He was also very patient in letting us practise our French. We really appreciated it! We would come back to Montreal just to eat here again!View more

Food was very disappointing. We chose the place based on location, thinking you couldn't possibly mess up Steak Frites, but those & the mussels were mediocre. Beef tartare & lamb pasta were good.View more

Modavie est un restaurant rempli de charme. A la fois calme, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & la musique très plaisante. Les plats étaient super bons, ça faisait longtemps qu'on avait mangé un plat aussi bon dans un restaurant. Patrice, notre serveur a rendu notre expérience encore meilleure par sa sympathie & son sens de l'humour incroyable:) Merci pour un super service!View more

All I can say is incredible place. The food is immaculate. The Best French onion soup I've ever had. Their Lamb Rack was pure perfection. Ambiance was pleasant. Music was great, & also.. Had the pleasure of seeing a certain celeb from the Jacka** series enjoy the place! I'f you're newly local or visiting, you have to take the time to treat yourself to this fine digs. Service is prompt, polite, & also down to earth. You will not be disappointed.View more

Great atmosphere with love music & kind staff. The set menu was great & filling. Specifically liked the duck confit, escargot & the chocolate pyramid. We also got the seafood pasta which was honestly disappointing.View more

The food here was unbelievable. Delicious bread for the table, my friends & I had the cheese platter, breakfast poutine, pesto gnocchi, french toast, chicken caesar salad, basque chicken, mimosas. Out of this world may just be the best food we have ever had!!!View more

We throughly enjoyed our experience at Modavie. Duck confit was to die for, also the mushroom risotto was great. The real show stopper was service. Our server Rad, was outstanding. Made us feel like family. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!View more

Lovely place for date night! We went for a girls dinner as we were visiting for The Weeknd. The team is so accommodating & the food was delicious. We got the lamb shank as they're known for it. Sooooo good. Also the cheesecake was 10/10- The jazz bands adds something special upstairs. Make sure to request to sit near the music because the restaurant is big.View more

Nous avions eu de très bonnes soirées au Modavie par le passé & étions heureux d'y retourner, cette fois nous étions assis en haut, l'atmosphère la musique & le service sont impeccables, bien que l'excellente musique live nous a paru un peu forte par moment. La morue était généreuse mais trop cuite & accompagnée d'une sauce trop riche. Bien que le repas n'est pas été à la hauteur de nos précédentes visites, le charme du restaurant demeure intact & l'ambiance y est agréable.View more
