The service was great, but the steak was super chewy hard to eat!
Reviews / Ratings for Modavie
Had an amazing experience at Modavie! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was incredible—super welcoming and lively. The live jazz music really set the mood and made the whole night feel special. Huge shoutout to Caroline, who took care of me and my friends. She was honestly the highlight of our experience—super friendly, chill, and gave us amazing recommendations that we all loved. You can tell she really knows the menu and wants you to have a great time. The food, the energy, and the atmosphere were all on point. Between the live music and the great service, this is definitely a spot I’d come back to anytime I’m in Montreal. Highly recommend!
fantastic food, amazing service from our server Caroline and the band was great! An absolute must visit :)
i had an steak (not in the menu" that was delicious. burrata also. but... the Canollis.. you must have! amazing
We had a delicious and relaxing early dinner! Lorenzo greeted us with a smile and visited us at our table and shared a laugh. We loved our experience and our meal and hope to return soon.
We went here for a early dinner as we booked for AURA experience in Notre-Dame Basilica. It's quite pity we didn't get a chance to enjoy the jazz music. We tried the Happening Gourmand Menu - 2-course menu featuring items for $49, like the snail, tuna tartare, steak and fries and cod risotto. Other than that, we also ordered onion soup and rack of lamp from the menu separately. I would say the food is like average level, nothing impressed me. The food was served promptly, I kinda doubted if they were freshly cooked or not. I ordered medium for the steak and lamp. I think they were served as medium well.
Thank you to Lorenzo and Kevin for excellent service and food.
Great vibe in the upstairs room. Food was good, but the music playing live in the background was what made this a 5. Staff was not overly nice but we still had a great time.
Very good place, service impeccable and staff very friendly
WHAT A GEM! I love everything about this restaurant. The food, the vibe, the service. I will recommend to all my friends who visit Montreal!
Absolutely loved Modavie! The atmosphere and live music were amazing, but what really made the night special was the staff. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and attentive. They made us feel so comfortable from the moment we arrived. Great service, great food, and such a warm vibe. Can’t wait to come back! 💕
Food, service and ambience was amazing. We had the mussels and duck. Both were exquisites. Live jazz in the background and very well situated within the old town
Lovely dining at Modavie, where live jazz music sets a warm and inviting tone. In a busy tourist area, it was especially appreciated to enjoy a quality meal that delivered on both flavour and experience. The combination of attentive service, vibrant atmosphere, and well-executed cuisine made it a memorable and enjoyable stop.
We tried the steak, foie gras, and beef tartare during our visit. The foie gras was outstanding — rich, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The beef tartare and steak, on the other hand, were just alright. Nothing particularly bad about them, but nothing memorable either.
Absolutely loved my experience here! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried exceeded expectations, and you can really tell there’s care and passion behind the cooking. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and everything arrived promptly. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great company, and trust that you’ll have a fantastic meal. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!
Delicious lamb poutine! The cocktails were very well crafted, and the lamb shack special was amazing!
Very good food. We had the duck and Fillet. Very good a kind service at the bar.
So much to love. Sat at the bar and had the kindest bartender (Friday night at 8pm, whoever you are). Checked in on me frequently the right amount. Drinks solid. Had the duck confit and foie gras. Absolutely amazing. Live music made the environment spectacular. Good job to the owner, management, and team working here
Great place with great music.
Great spot with a festive atmosphere and live jazz. Service was friendly and attentive. Rad, our waiter, was excellent. Prices are reasonable and the wine list is diverse. The only downside was that the band, although very talented, was too loud, making it hard to have a conversation at the table.
just go there! its delicious
Amazing!! Family friendly!
Excellent food! Super nice people and great atmosphere
We came to try the gourmand prix fixe menu and were disappointed at every turn. My dirty martini was very sweet (how?) and poorly made, the tuna tatare was decent and the highlight of the meal, and the steak frites were nearly inedible - fries were cold and steak was flavourless. The blues band was good but the vibe overall felt more like a chain restaurant than a cozy French bistro. Will not return
This place is part of old Montreal history. You need to eat here and enjoy the live jazz musicians
