    Always a great experience at Modavie! Another exceptional brunch. I’ll be dreaming about the foie gras and Eggs Benedict with lamb until I get a chance to return. Great Jazz music played while dining on a Sunday. Service is very attentive but not intrusive. Frequently dine here when in Montreal and always a great experience!

    The service was great! Their appetizers were great but their main courses were below average. Would recommend sticking to appetizers.

    I brought my friend for her birthday dinner. Food and service was awesome. Unlike some French cuisine, we did not have to find a place to eat after LOL

    Lovely evening at Modavie - even with a power outage - just added to the ambiance. And the staff handled everything so well.

    Vin beaucoup trop cher (3x le prix de la SAQ), et la qualité gustative des plats n'est pas wow. J'ai pris un tartare de boeuf avec os à moelle, c'était sec et pas très goûteux. Pareil pour le carré d'agneau, la sauce était médiocre et la taille de la crème brûlée était trop petite. Les Gens qui s'assoient à côté de la saine ne peuvent pas parler, car trop de bruit.

    The staff was very friendly, and the live music was enjoyable. We ordered steak with fries, but the meat was tough to cut and chew, and the fries were quite standard, similar to what you'd find in regular restaurants or food courts. It felt like a waste of money since the quality and taste didn’t justify the price. The waitress was kind to us throughout the meal, but after we paid the bill, she seemed displeased with the 10% tip we left. She collected the plates with visible dissatisfaction, which left a bad impression. I also ordered a sangria but couldn’t finish it because it had too much alcohol in it. Overall, we paid $120 for two steaks with fries, one cup of sangria, and one cup of beer, including a 10% tip. Honestly, it’s not worth your time or money.
