    Our server, Caroline was outstanding. Made our evening very special. Excellent knowledge of the menu and made an excellent wine recommendation to go with the lamb chops. Lamb chops were good but did not meet the “hype “ we had been hearing about. From New Zealand and needed more seasoning. I was hoping for local lamb, they were more like Costco

    The food was excellent, and the band played lovely music and the volume was not too loud even though they were only just across the room.

    This is my go to restaurant when I want relaxing excellent meal in Montreal. They usually have some live entertainment at dinner and this was no exception. A young woman, singing jazz standards accompanied by a guitar. Their service is wonderful and relaxed and quite a contrast to the experience I had somewhere else the night before!! Overall, just a gem in old Montreal!

    Wine was good. Service started well, but got slower as the night went on. Food was excellent. Had escargot, beef tartare and Mussels and Fries. All were very good and well portioned. Wine was reasonably priced.

    Everything is really wonderful! Food , service and atmosphere! The music downstairs is very good, R&B the room is small so music is on the louder side. So if quite conversation is what you after , Ask for the bar or upstairs where the music is softer. Overall a great experience. We’ve been many times over many years and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend!

    We had asked for a window seat, and were seated upstairs by the window. The band was playing next to us which was enjoyable throughout our meal. I had the mussels and fries while my husband had the steak. The food and ambiance was wonderful. Modavie is our favorite restaurant in Montreal, and we visit here every time. Highly recommend!
