The ambiance is warm and relaxed, with smooth jazz playing in the background. Apparently every night they have two live jazz shows however my friend and I ate before the shows started. As Denis S mentioned regarding the snootiness in some Quebec restaurants, that is completely absent in Modavie. The maitre d' and waitress were friendly and very attentive throughout our dining experience. \n\nThe French onion soup was good but nothing to write home about. The lamb is their specialty - I opted for the rack of lamb with sesame, goat cheese, and Dijon mustard served with crispy chips and vegetables. The lamb was cooked just right ( I go for medium) and seasoned well and the large piece of goat cheese was lightly singed for a nice partially melted taste to compliment the lamb. \n\nWhen I come back to Montreal I will definitely revisit Modavie and hopefully have room for dessert the second time around."^^ .
