    Disappointing to be told we had to leave because they needed the table, but we warned about that possibility when we made reservation. Service was extremely professional, food was amazing and love music created great ambience. Would definitely come here again

    The food? Chef’s kiss. Absolutely delicious—no complaints there. But the service? Let’s just say the attitude came chilled… like the red wine. We asked a simple question—“Do you have any red wine that isn’t cold?”—and you’d think we asked them to stomp the grapes on the spot. The waiter served us a side of snark with our meal, which was a bit of a buzzkill for an otherwise great dinner. Modavie nails it in the kitchen, but maybe someone should remind the staff that hospitality is supposed to be warm… unlike our Merlot.

    Beautiful ambience, the music and service was amazing. The pasta was bland, the cut of steak for the steak frites was disappointing, there was no grilled vegetables or anything with it either, standard french fries. You're probably better off coming here just for a drink and an appetizer.

    Modavie stands out as a truly exceptional dining experience in Montreal. From the moment you step inside, the restaurant exudes a wonderful ambiance, perfectly complemented by the delightful music. The meal itself was fantastic, a testament to the quality of the food. Furthermore, the service was excellent, with our server Sunny providing truly awesome attention. Based on this experience, a return visit to Modavie is definitely warranted.
