    Such a great spot! The music and ambiance really elevate the experience, and the food is amazing. We had the onion soup and the mushroom risotto — both were delicious. We’d definitely come back!

    Food was average at best. Wine and drink prices were crazy expensive. A simple drink was $21.00 and not that great. We were looking forward to going but overrated. Music was nice but upstairs atmosphere not great at all What a disappointment!! Could cook better food at home and save the $170.00. (No bottle of wine appetizers or desserts) This was not fine dining. Many other better options in old Montreal

    Dined here for my birthday. The drinks were delicious, the food was exceptional, the service was beyond. Our server even surprised me with a beautiful birthday dessert. And the live music was the cherry on top. Highly recommend!

    We were excited to go to Mondavie - it came highly recommended and we were all looking forward to love music. The good news was service was good and the music was lovely. Unfortunately, the food wasn't. Steak was tough and fatty. Fries were soggy. Pasta was cold and it was obviously sauced some time before it was served. We spent over $400 for the worst meal we had in Montreal - and probably on our whole 2-week trip to Canada.
