The food & the cocktails were fabulous. Our servers (bartender & bar back) were definitely part of making the experience memorable. Amazing service backed up by the delicious meal. Also- they were very knowledgeable about celiacs & knew exactly what to order. This kitchen has a dedicated gluten free fryer- do not miss if you are gluten free in Montreal.
A big thank you to Audrey, the manager Julien, our server Michael & the whole staff for helping me propose to my now fiance at their venue tonight. It wouldn't have been possible without you!

Meilleur restaurant, meilleur service. Merci a toutes l'équipe pour leurs accueil chaleureux. La nourriture est excellente. J'ai même assisté à une demande en mariage.
Aspires to be a jazz/music restaurant with serious cuisine. Mostly a tourist spot that under delivers. Caesar salad was fine. Onion soup lacked broth. Lamb burgers were ok but could use some more flavoring. Scallops were cooked rare , which is ok for many but kitchen declined to do medium on customer request. Musical trio was underwhelming. Would not recommend
Randomly stumbled into the place for early lunch, & this was such a great place. Service was perfect (even helped us keep our little boy asleep in his pram during the entire lunch), & our different dishes were absolutely cooked to perfection. Not a single thing to complain about, easiest 5/5.
A lovely restaurant with standout dishes & a fantastic bartender. Sal, thank you for keeping me company while I dined out solo on my trip to Montreal! In case you're wondering, the wood conference went very well & hopefully I'll be back at modavie next year again :)
Food & drinks were amazing. We walked in (early dinner) without reservation & they accommodated. We honestly had zero complaints & a great experience. Thank you!
Expérience super pour la parenté qui vient nous visiter dans le coeur du Vieux- Montréal. Lorenzo nous accueillie ainsi que son équipe de façon impeccable.
We're visiting from out of town, but as soon as we walked in Modavie felt like our local neighborhood hangout. Lorenzo was a fantastic host, treated us like family, & had us smiling ear-to-ear before we even got seated. Our server, Buddy, took over from there. He was attentive, informative, & the consummate professional. Everything that left the kitchen arrived at our table steaming hot, & the flavours were out of this world. Will absolutely return.

This place was recommended to me by a local, & I am from Calgary. Based on the recommendation I had very high expectations, & maybe that is on me for having such high expectations. The service was excellent, the appetizers very tasty, the main dish slightly above average when compared to other places I have tried in Montreal & Calgary. The atmosphere is fantastic, & the location unbeatable. I would like to come back & perhaps try a different main dish. I had my heart (& taste buds) set on the Duck Confite & ended up ordering the Lamp Chops, & even though I like Lamb, this dish was simply not special, as mentioned before about average or maybe slightly above average. I am giving it a 5 star review overall for the other reasons (Location, service, atmosphere, & the experience itself)
Lorenzo was so nice to our whole family & took the time to make sure our 3 year old daughter was comfortable & happy. Food was amazing, our server was super nice. We finished all of our food including our daughter it was delicious & well presented. Great lunch spot!
Atmosphere & service here are great & worth coming for, live jazz was a treat & at a tasteful volume where you could still chat amongst your table. Our waiter was very attentive & friendly.
Food was underwhelming, but there's lots of budget-friendly items, & nothing we tried was bad. We had appies, mains, desserts, all of it was just ok, like something you might have at a friend's place who splurges on nice ingredients but has pretty basic home cooking skills. I recommend sticking with the cheaper menu items.
Being greeted by Lorenzo was a great start for a company lunch. Had a great time & amazing service & food. Would really recommend to stop & live the Modavie experience. Will definitively go back in the evening to see their LIVE music!
