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.

Wonderful experience! Food was excellent! Started with oysters, then the cheese plate and as my main I had the bouillabaisse. Finished off sharing a dessert with my friends (can’t remember the name but it had pear sorbet in it) and it was fabulous. The wine list … some many wonderful wines to choose from. We all said we would return … drive from Ottawa just to come and have dinner here again. Oh … and I wish they published their playlist as the background music was amazing. Perfect for the ambiance.

The tomato soup with arugula pistou was fabulous. The 9e burger with carmelized onions was very good, and perfectly cooked -- although the charred outside of the burger did not appeal. The service (Destiny) was outstanding! What a treat!
