Came here to celebrate a birthday & the server brought out a complimentary dessert. We ordered escargot, the prawn linguine, the rack of lamb & the crème brûlée. Would highly recommend eating here. Live jazz was playing as well. Always a great time at Modavie, this is our 4th time dining here
My husband & I were in Montréal celebrating my 50th & we were blessed to meet Lorenzo who took phenomenal care of us. He was such a kindred soul who added to our overall experience. The food & the drinks were amazing. Thank you for the special treatment!

Excellent menu au coeur du Vieux-Montréal avec un Jazz band tous les soirs. C'est un restaurant merveilleux autant pour les touristes que les Montréalais!
Very unique brunch experience. The duck waffle was something special, & the croque madame with lamb was insanely tasty - I honestly can't even decide which one I liked more. Beautiful atmosphere, live music, & such a nice attentive staff. Definitely a place worth coming back to!!
Well, the food is amazing. Just 10/10, but the service is quite poor. I had a reservation but upon arrival I was told by the girl at front desk that there was no seat available & I was asked to come back later. I spoke to someone else & was able to get a seat within a few minutes, which just shows either their internal inconsistency or perhaps the first person that I spoke to was being racist. Anyway, I was being put in the corner & nobody came to take my order until about 15 minutes later. When I was trying to pay, I had to follow up 3 times just to get the check. Honestly, despite the good food quality, I cannot see myself coming back due to the service quality
Super belle expérience chez Modavie. L'ambiance est vraiment agréable, la nourriture excellente, mais surtout un énorme merci à Lorenzo & Buddy pour leur service incroyable. Très attentionnés, chaleureux & authentiques.
The Duck Confit, Modavie Poutine & Lamb cavatell was our favorite dishes. The service is very attentive & despite how busy the restaurant is, the wait was very reasonable.

Had a great lunch at Modavie in Montreal. The poutine was surprisingly one of the best we had during the trip, definitely worth trying. We also ordered the lamb pasta & the duck confit - both were absolutely delicious, especially the duck, which was tender & full of flavor.
The atmosphere was cozy & lively with great music, & the location in Old Montreal is perfect for walking around before or after dinner. The only downside is that parking nearby can be a bit difficult. Overall, highly recommend!
Very good French food, the dessert was especially excellent. Large selection of nonalcoholic drinks including a nonalcoholic wine which was delicious. Excellent atmosphere, we had jazz live music - excellent overall experience
People outside recommended this place to us while we were looking at the menu & it did not disappoint. Lorenzo was so accommodating & personable to our walk-in group, shifting around things to fit us comfortably & checking in on us intermittently. Dimitri was a friendly server who made the best drinks. Food & drinks were fantastic; ambience was beautiful. I feel like this restaurant is a hidden gem. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic food, service & ambience. Highly recommend the lamb, risotto & creme brûlée. Our server, George, was attentive & took time to discuss the menu with us. Overall a fabulous experience, we be back & will recommend to our friends.
Visiting from the US - came across this restaurant on Open Table & made a reservation. Great food & service. Live music & conversation with all the tables can make talking to your party challenging but worth the visit.
We came here 3 years ago as a local recommended Modavie for their french onion soup that I was so hungry for. It was a great exprience then. We found ourselves back in Montreal & there was no quesion where we wanted to go for our nice meal. Everything was superb! The lamb chops were exceptional!! Service was quick but not rushed. Our server, Patrice, was amazing as well & very well, but not overly attentive. Looking forward to coming back again!
One of the best restaurants if not THE best in Montreal. Which is saying a lot. Incredible people, incredible environment. Tres Bien. I recommend getting a reservation as it fills up quickly.
