    The food was excellent - a perfect green salad, filet mignon which was the best we have had in a long time and done exactly how we like it, and delicious Coconut Sorbet. Our server was Buddy who was attentive without being intrusive. A rare talent. There was a trio of musicians who provided a lovely background to our meal. We will definitely return to Modavie next time we are in Montreal.

    Modavie is a fantastic place to dine. The prices are on the higher side but the food is upscale and worth the price. I have been numerous times for different occasions and always go back to the mushroom risotto. They have live music everyday. Truly an incredible spot and highly recommend

    Thank you so much for your kind words Gabbie! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoy dining with us and appreciate the quality of our food and atmosphere. The mushroom risotto is certainly a favorite for many, and we're glad it keeps bringing you back!
