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.

Starting from hospitality I would give more then 5 stars but the scale is maximum. Our waiter Jan was beyond 5 start scale!! Whoever is the manager should put this guy profesionalizm and behavior as a role model!! Thank you for your recommendations all food and drinks were amazing. No wonder reviews reaching 8k. The portions were generous and food full of flavor.

I was just there for Valentine’s Day and was kind of disappointed :/. We started on the first floor but the music was so loud and off putting that we had to move upstairs- SO much better omg. Our waiter was hard to catch and service was super slow..for a prefixed menu mind u. Scallop tartare was fresh wasn’t a fan on the grapefruit tho. My lotte dish was ok, fish was super well good and flavourful but my risotto was was mushy and didn’t taste like anything was also accompanied by 3 steamed asparagus. Idk for 98$ I wasn’t wowed. Atmosphere is great tho 5 starts for the jazz trio

Amazing experience at Modavie from start to finish. The tartare de saumon was incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned. The lamb chops and filet mignon were both cooked to perfection — tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For dessert, the warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and the cheesecake were the perfect ending — rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious. Elegant ambiance, attentive service, and a great spot for a date night or special occasion. Will definitely be back.

Such a wonderful restaurant. I went on a recommendation from a local and sat at the bar. The staff were fantastic -- very knowledgeable about the food and wine, both of which were top class. I had the salmon tartare with a perfect chardonnay and every detail was on point, followed by the duck leg confit - with a glass of light pinot noir - which will be a memorable plate. Top notch kitchen, atmosphere and staff.
