Modesto Restaurant

A bit touristy if you sit outside on the terrace. Inside at the bar it’s much more ‘local’ and also cheaper. Favourite dishes include the “fritadura modesto” – a plate piled high with tempura style fried strips of onions, green & red peppers, topped with a handful of plump fried breaded prawns.

Seriously, there is nothing you could order here that wouldn’t be fabulous. Modesto has an excellent reputation, so you will always find the bar inside more full of locals than tourists. Just in for a snack or even a chat. I almost always find myself chatting away to other people eating at the bar … it’s just that kind of place. And they also offer seasonal specialities, like the wild mushrooms, the asparagus …
