Beautiful restaurant! It has a rly nice aesthetic. Service was great and so was the jazz. The food was pretty good, but could have used more seasoning. The portions were on the small side. For the price I think the food should’ve been 20% better. Overall I recommend:)

I've had my birthday dinner at Modavie and the whole dining experience was beyond exceptional! Food was amazing, we particularly enjoyed the foie gras toast and duck confit (even better than the ones we had in Paris!). Our server Mathias is super friendly and attentive, checking in from time to time if we enjoyed the meal, and even gave me a surprise with a dessert to celebrate my birthday. Absolutely will revisit again when travelling to Montreal - highly highly recommend!

Food was very average. Appetizer crust was stale. Cod was tough. Music was very loud. Overall not a great experience

One of the greatest restaurants I have been to. My wife invited me there on my birthday and I loved it! There was even a live band playing Jazz that day 🤩 The food was great especially the appetizers and the desserts. The waiter George was really friendly. We even became friends with him and he offered us a dessert on the house! Would definitely go back there this summer. I recommend it to anyone visiting Montreal or spending an evening around the Old Port

My husband, 2 year old son, and I stopped in for a mid week lunch and we're very impressed. The service was wonderful, both William and Lorenzo took great care of us. They were both so kind and attentive, and treated my son as just as important as the rest of us at the table. The food was excellent! Stand outs were their soup of the day, which was a carrot and broccoli soup, their salmon tartar, and the rack of lamb. William was also helpful with wine pairings to go with our meals. We will definitely be back next to we visit Montreal.

Good food and great service. There might be some waiting involved in between appetizers and main course. Parking is an issue.

Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. The food was exceptional - fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. The portions were generous and well worth the price. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and despite being busy, we didn't feel rushed. The dessert was the perfect ending to our meal. We'll definitely be returning soon and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and excellent service. Five stars!

Went here for Valentine’s 💖 The table was decorated with flower petals, and the vibe was really nice 🤎 Can’t wait to catch the live jazz performance next time 🎷 Honestly, I remember the atmosphere more than the food.

Had an amazing meal here to end our vacation in Montreal! The Mushroom Risotto looks small but is surprisingly filling, and the mushrooms are incredibly fragrant. The Poutine had a sauce that was flavorful but not too heavy, really impressed us. Lamb chop were very tender and fried calamari were also delicious, and the warm bread was a lovely touch. The dessert was very tasty, we had apple strudel and cream brûlée were both outstanding. They also have live band in dinner time , we enjoyed so much. Great customer and vibe , definitely return again.

Cool vibe. Bad was great. Service was average. Food was overpriced for the quality (esp the rack of lamb) but I guess you’re paying for the band. They also seated us at a table in what should’ve been a walkway so crowded, busy, w servers constantly going back and forth, bumping you/you table. May give it another shot but likely sit at the bar.

We had the most amazing experience at Modavie. I made a reservation for Valentine's Day weekend and requested a 6:45pm table on the second floor so we could enjoy the live jazz music (Sunday night starting at 7pm). When we got to the restaurant, we found that we had the best table on the second floor- right in front of the wonderful jazz trio! From the minute our server greeted us, we had excellent service. We ordered the onion soup and Normandy sweetbread for appetizers, and the basque chicken and lamb cavatelli for entrees. Everything was absolutely incredible. Some of the best food we've ever had. The entire experience at Modavie was amazing, and this is a meal we will be talking about for a very long time. Highly, highly recommend!

We had the best time at Modavie. We were in Montreal celebrating our anniversary and happened upon this restaurant. While our meals were amazing (the mushroom risotto and the duck confit), it was the service that made our experience. Lorenzo and William were so welcoming and had the best energy. The atmosphere felt elevated but not like we were out of place (as a young couple). Would absolutely recommend checking this place out!!

Exceptional food, I had the lamb pasta, my husband had the rack of lamb. One of the tastiest and freshest meals out I have ever had. The service was wonderful, and the atmosphere enchanting. It was a perfect venue for our anniversary dinner.

Great upper market French cuisine restaurant in the old downtown core. I would recommend coming on a night when the full menu is on offer. Iconic “dinner date” nights such as Valentines Day are set menu for a high price than if you were to just get the dishes individually. The food we had was spectacular. Can’t recommend this highly enough. Our server was class. Wine options are also top notch. Funny thing is I was going to get pics of the food but it was so good I forgot when it came to the table, that must be a good sign.
