The food was excellent as was the service. Our party had the filet mignon, strip steak, and mushroom risotto. The steaks were perfectly prepared as ordered and nicely seasoned. The risotto was creamy, rich and delicious as well. We enjoyed a bottle or wine from the large wine list as well as superb cocktails. The ambience was warm with a warehouse chic decorum. What made Modavie stand out over other restaurants we visited during our stay in Montreal was live music, jazz up stairs and blues down. We had a fantastic time and look forward to dining at Modavie again on our next visit.

An excellent meal with outstanding service. We visited from CT for the holiday weekend (Thanksgiving) and every meal we had was superb. We had the strip steak for two. It was outstanding. Oysters were great as well. The burrata appetizer was divine. Highly recommend. Our server (forgot her name) was one of the best we’ve ever had.
