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 and well done! Great service and 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.

This place was amazing! The aesthetic was extremely nice and made you feel so immersed. The staff were amazing constantly checking up and making sure everything was good answered every question and gave us recommendations. The food was delicious the drinks were good as well. When I went I unfortunately did not get to see the live band that was playing but could hear a little bit of them. Overall I would definitely come up here!

Had the Catch of the Day. Seabeam fish on a bed of puree pea and potato drizzled with a perfect lemon sauce with capers and sun-dried tomatoes. I find when I eat out it is rare that the flavors hit the palate just right. Here it did!. Add our onion soup starter was the best onion soup I've had! Our server was the kindest and most attentive server. Eating here was the highlight of our Montreal trip!

The service staff was excellent but the food quality was lacking. Risotto and seafood pasta showed up in 10 minutes after ordered, super, super, 🔥 hot. Like it just came out of a blast furnace. Pasta was not fresh and came from a box. Disappointed.

If you are looking for proper French food, Modavie is a great place to check out. They have variety of great options, really good wine selection and their staff are trained to be very professional and observant. They also have live music which makes the experience much more enjoyable.

The food and the cocktails were fabulous. Our servers (bartender and 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 and 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 and the whole staff for helping me propose to my now fiance at their venue tonight. It wouldn’t have been possible without you!

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, and this was such a great place. Service was perfect (even helped us keep our little boy asleep in his pram during the entire lunch), and our different dishes were absolutely cooked to perfection. Not a single thing to complain about, easiest 5/5.

My husband and I went for a drink at the bar yesterday. We were kindly welcomed by Lorenzo who made our experience even better. We will definitely go back for dinner and music, which he told us that they have every night.

A lovely restaurant with standout dishes and 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 and hopefully I'll be back at modavie next year again :)

We had an excellent experience at Modavie celebrating my Dad's 80th Birthday. The food was excellent and Lorenzo and Caroline were so welcoming and made sure our visit was special, paying special attention to my 12 year old niece and 9 year old nephew. I would highly recommend!

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, and had us smiling ear-to-ear before we even got seated. Our server, Buddy, took over from there. He was attentive, informative, and the consummate professional. Everything that left the kitchen arrived at our table steaming hot, and the flavours were out of this world. Will absolutely return.

This place was recommended to me by a local, and I am from Calgary. Based on the recommendation I had very high expectations, and 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 and Calgary. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the location unbeatable. I would like to come back and perhaps try a different main dish. I had my heart (and taste buds) set on the Duck Confite and ended up ordering the Lamp Chops, and 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, and the experience itself)
