We enjoyed modavie! The food was very good, could have been hotter, but that seems to plague the restaurants in the Montreal area. Our server was wonderful. Apps were fantastic!

This is one of Montreal’s great restaurants. It is an Art Deco restaurant which first opened in 1931, and recently reopened after being closed for 25 years. Not only is the food, service, and view impeccable, but if you walk around, you will experience nearly a hundred years of history. Not to be missed.

This restaurant is top notch! Staff are very welcoming, you get smile from them right by the door and be seated even if you come in earlier than your reservation. Their food and drinks selection are excellent! You get the live music (singer) while dinning. Server will explain to you what you ordered in language that you will prefer to speak.

Good experience, albeit quite crowded and busy for Christmas Eve. Wonderful menu & food. Harried wsiteess was late to greet us. Noisy, but part of the Brasserie vibe. Impressive space in hotel DR formerly Birks Jewelry store. Nicely decorated for Christmas.

We had an amazing time. We learned of Joe Beef from an Anthony Bourdain special last year, and in March of this year we learned we were going to move here. We’ve been planning to go here since we arrived in August, and were finally able to make it. It was everything we hoped it would be, and we were able to try some amazing dishes. Staff are extremely attentive, knowledgeable and engaging. Definitely the first of many visits while we live here.
