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.

Food at Modavie is just mediocre, definitely nothing special or above the rest & should be priced accordingly, it's pricey for the quality that you get.
Atmosphere is nice, it is a nice place to dine in, & service is also very good.
Bottom line is the food is nothing special whatsoever, so I wouldn't recommend this restaurant, there are far better options in Old Montreal.
We walked in & were greeted by Lorenzo. I call him out because he was very welcoming & quite funny (& not in a smarmy kind of way). The service from the other staff was very good as well. Food was excellent. Lunch price for the tasting menu was very reasonable. We had a nice table by the window. Highly recommended.
The duck confit was great! Deceptive portion - it looks small, but it is really filling. Our server was really nice too. The live Jazz band was a nice touch.

Excellent experience, server was knowledgeable & friendly. We tried a number of things on the menu, mussels, snails, salmon tartare... All were incredible!
Wonderful restaurant with live music & serving classic French cuisine. Great atmosphere on second floor. Was given a fantastic table close to live music performance. Attendant was ok, nothing extraordinary but provided decent polite service. Food was quite good, especially the onion soup which was not salty & seasoned perfectly with savory & sweetness balanced nicely with hint of wine flavourful in the broth. Rack of lamb was cooked to perfection however the rack portion could have been better cut up & presented though, it was a tad lazy to serve up two giant racks with other rack bones partial in together, when compare to others having same dish at other tables. Scallops were cooked right but sauce was too salty for my preference. Salad was amazingly fresh & crisp. Overall good food good vibe good value.
my boyfriend & I went here tonight for his birthday & the food was AMAZING! the rack of lamb & the potatoes it comes with were 10/10. our waitress was so nice & gave amazing recommendations. will definitely be back
Loved the live music & every single thing we ordered was delicious! They had lots of options for gluten allergies, in particular the poutine with lamb was a highlight. I also really appreciated the mayo & ketchup coming with the fries.

We love this place! We did not have a reservation, but I highly encourage it! We went on a weekend day! Since we were two it was easier to get a window seat quite quickly! Or it was pure luck! Otherwise, you need a reservation for larger groups! Place is popular for a reason! Had to try their lamb poutine! The fillet mignon was tasty & well done! Great service & nice atmosphere with live music! Highly recommended!
Restaurant is right in the middle of downtown. Great ambience, great menu, great drinks menu. It is slightly poorly lit so reading menus can be a bit challenging but no real issues.
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.
