Modesto

Modesto has served traditional Galician cuisine since 1983, originally opening as a small, cozy venue in Los Corrales. In 1990, it relocated to a newly constructed building that quickly became a central gathering place in Ferrol. The restaurant’s cuisine evolved from simple snacks to a comprehensive menu emphasizing products sourced daily from local markets. Its cooking prioritizes honest, flavorful preparation without artifices, allowing each high-quality ingredient to express its authentic taste. The ambiance blends elegance with warmth, creating a family-friendly environment described as a house with soul. This atmosphere complements the restaurant’s dedication to regional tradition and hospitality. Modesto’s specialties include traditional Galician fish dishes and seafood such as spider crab, alongside historic snacks like raxo and tortilla. A carefully curated wine cellar offers an extensive selection of Galician, national, and international wines chosen to pair well with both seafood and meat dishes. After four decades, Modesto remains a respected destination for balanced, well-crafted cuisine rooted in Galician culinary heritage.
