Restaurants near Auberge Handfield et Spa

Wonderful place and service Dedicated team lunch food menu very tasty

This was my 2nd time here. The food, the bar, and the service were excellent both times. To say the noise level is "energetic" is a euphemism. It's loud. Not deafeningly loud, but no one is speaking in whispers here.

This Keg is the most consistent for quality of food and service. By far

Modavie is rock-solid. There's even some rock involved. Well, on this particular evening it was a 20s scat band, and a talented one at that. But for tables like ours, seated right next to the band, you'd better love that music--or whatever music's on offer--or you're going to be trying to talk over the band the whole time. Not entirely pleasant. But onto the pleasant things: A lot of emphasis on lamb dishes, wow. But for those of us who ordered it, the dishes were en pointe. Some pasta dishes on offer, with the cavatelli firing on all cylinders. Great wine selection: We landed on two French 2018s, Alain Brumont's Chateau Montus (an absolute treat), and a Rothschild stablemate, Chateau Clarke (still young and brooding, but with distinguishable excellence-in-waiting). Service was very attentive and helpful. Ambiance, aside from the seating right next to the upright bass player, was fantastic. This was actually my second day in a row at Modavie; the day prior I sat at the bar near the front entrance of Modavie. Loved that side of the restaurant as well. Great and kind service at the bar then, too. This is a will-go-back, will-recommend Montreal staple. If it's not an Icon, it ought to be. The team at Modavie knows how to deliver a rich experience.

Worth the wait, and the detour. Apollo and Isabel were super hosts and put on a memorable meal.
