We visited Modavie as part of a weekend trip to Montreal, but were skeptical, given its "touristy" location. We were more than pleasantly surprised by this restaurant, especially by our waitress, Iman. Not only was the food delicious, but our waitress provided expert wine paring and food advice. She even offered a gracious extra wine tasting that paired perfectly with our dessert. We're from Manhattan, and we wish the personal touch back home were even half as great as Iman's. More...

This was my first time in Montreal and at first I was not impressed UNTIL I discovered this AMAZING French Restaurant, Modavie. My time in Modavie was beyond words due to 2 gentleman by the names of Lorenzo & Radouan. Lorenzo, Maître D' Hôtel, greeted my partner and I with exceptional customer service and flare from the moment we stepped in the building. Lorenzo walked us to our table and introduced us to Radouan, our server. From there Radouan, made us feel completely comfortable and confident in this establishment's commitment to excellence. Wonderful conversation and laughter accompanied by superior menu recommendations. Honestly, my experience of Montreal was saved by the service that both Lorenzo & Radouan provided. Would I come back to Montreal? Yes, only if my first stop is the Modavie!!! More...

New Year’s Eve 2020. Good jazz music but over crowded. There seemed to be a lot of extra tables added, we had little space to move where we where seated. The waiter was very attentive and careful with the food allergies. The dinner menu looked very intriguing but average overall. The lamb was elasticity and the soup way too sweet. The risotto dish was much better than the lamb. It took way too long between dishes to get the food. We where seated at 8h45 and had to rush waiter for our main dish at 10h40 . I have had a much better gastronomic experience at this restaurant before. More...

Nous sommes vraiment satisfait. Les calmars frits, la poutine à l'agneau braisé, le tartare au boeuf, le steak frites, les moules frites et le Tataki de cerf de Virginie ont vraiment étés aimés. Le Magret de canard était un peu trop cuit à notre goût, mais comme les goûts sont dans la nature...Ils ont beaucoup de choix de vin et notre serveur avait un mot à dire sur chacun!Le turn off a été la visite aux toilettes. Des clients les avaient laissé dans un état pitoyable. Force est de croire que le personnel n'y va pas souvent et que personne n'a cru bon de leur faire part de l'état des lieux. More...

We went for the early seating on New Year’s Eve. We were warmly welcomed and service was great. The music was great also. It was a prix fix menu. The food and pacing were spot on.

Was in town for NYE 2020. Had dinner at this restaurant. I picked this place because of the food and live music. I requested to be seated in the area with music and we were given a great table with views of the musicians. The service was beyond great. The staff was friendly and it felt like the staff were helping each other wait the tables. It felt very attentive and not at all overbearing. Very subtle thing that we appreciated. The food was not overly amazing but very good. We had the lamb chops which were a bit bland but with a little salt and pepper they came alive and were delicious. I would recommend this restaurant More...

Thoroughly delightful time. Ambiance is the raison d’être there. Would definitely return. Food was pretty good, not the greatest . Calamari was a little heavy on breading and my organic salmon was dry but was such a great overall evening and atmosphere, I didn’t want to say anything at the time. Improvements in food quality would make it 5/5 for all. More...

A unique, lovely setting and fun experience. A very reasonable menu and helpful service from host to our waiter. Keep in mind. ..Request a table near or away from the live music depending on sound tolerance. Dancing is acceptable if the moment strikes, you won't be alone. More...

We went for the Christmas dinner. The atmosphere was intimate, romantic, complete with some good, live jazz music. The service was very good, friendly and accommodating. We had the salmon and the lamb roulade. The desert was really good. Everything was cooked perfectly, but probably because we've lived with New York City spices for so long, the taste felt a bit tame. Great experience, overall. More...

Our family went to Brunch here on Christmas Day. The staff were very kind and attentive and the food was terrific! We had the is osso bucco with wild boar and sage risotto which was perfect done. We have a vegan family member and they had a tofu Mediterranean pasta which was a lovely surprise! They had a great guitar playing live and a roaring fireplace. Really enjoyed our experience here and we do recommend! More...

We're celebrating Christmas in Montreal this year. Â We wanted a special holiday dining experience for Christmas Eve, and Modavie delivered in spades. Beautifully decorated, highly attentive service (Simon was amazing!), and a wonderful prix fixe menu. Â And soft live jazz on two levels. Â A truly wonderful experience. More...

I ate here on Christmas Eve with my daughter and we had a really nice meal. Â While it as a little more expensive than I would normally be happy with given what we had, I expect that a holiday prix fix menu has to fit their constraints and be a little more profitable than normal. Â All the food was good, the service was great, the place had live music and a really warm vibe. More...

It was great, just wished the live band (which was great too) had played some Christmas tunes since it was Christmas Eve. I requested it but they ended up not playing a single one.

Recommended by a friend to one of us and then independently picked by another member of our group. From the very beginning this place impressed. From allowing us to sit down 30 minutes early to thoughtfully re-positioning my chair to make it easier to enjoy the live music, they made a great first impression.The food and wine arrived quickly. We had a number of items that exceeded expectations. The lamb burger was excellent. The pulled meat was tender, juicy and hit the spot perfectly. The side salad to accompany it was even better though (and I'm not much of a salad person - the dressing was distributed so evenly and the greens were so fresh). The vegetables, while simply presented, were perfectly cooked and had so much flavour.The beet salad was amazing. The combination of toasted quinoa and the creamy goat cheese complements the sweetness and softness of the beets so well. The french onion soup was, as expected, a highlight. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The live jazz was a wonderful and added just the right touch to an already perfect evening. Compliments to the chef, the maitre'd, serving staff and every member of the kitchen who made this night great. More...

I was impressed how all the staff helped our waiter, just a well oiled machine! Random servers filled up our water as they walked by, others would just pick up an empty cup or plate.
