Description

This roadside family-run restaurant enjoys a certain reputation in this region, and deservedly so as it has been in business for over 40 years now! Home to a bar at the entrance and an attractive classic, contemporary-style dining room on the first floor, it focuses on top-quality fish and seafood dishes in which ingredients such as langoustines, prawns, lobster, scallops and razor clams take centre stage. The result is authentic Galician cuisine that is carefully prepared and full of flavour.

Review summary

Modesto in Ferrol holds a strong 4.7/5 rating, praised primarily for its high-quality seafood and meat dishes, including lobster rice, barnacles, and turbot. The atmosphere is described as cozy and well-decorated, with generally attentive service. However, experiences vary; some guests report excellent hospitality, while others cite poor reception and slow pacing. While many find the value justified, a minority criticize the high prices relative to portion sizes and occasional inconsistencies in ingredient freshness. It remains a top choice for those seeking refined Galician cuisine, though diners should be aware of potential service fluctuations.
