Inspired by modern Michelin dining and local produce, Modesto is bringing his extraordinary style of cooking from Valentia into the Finnieston restaurant in collaboration with Rioja head chef, Luis Urrutiabeaskoa.
The eight course tasting menu will feature dishes that reflect the best of Scottish and Iberian produce. The menu includes beetroot cappuccino with truffle infused organic yolk alongside west coast langoustines as well as seasonal foraged mushrooms, suckling pig, Galician blond pig cheek and red tuna tartare.
Speaking of the Michelin Takeover, Eduardo Fernandez Blanco, operations manager of Rioja and the Rotunda Restaurant Group said:
"Pushing boundaries in flavour is what our chefs set out to do every day. They're inspired by their surroundings and their Spanish heritage. In Rioja and in Spain, food is a way of life. It's in our blood. We always try to reflect our culture and passion in our dishes and we've worked hard to create an exclusive menu for Glasgow to enjoy.
Speaking about the menu, Toni Carbajosa, co-founder of The Rotunda Restaurant Group continues:
"Our team is passionate about flavour. We're passionate about produce. And we're passionate about creating unforgettable food experiences. With the return of Modesto to the Rioja kitchen we are once again looking forward to transporting our guests to the beautiful corners of Scotland and Spain through extraordinary flavours and exciting dishes.
"If you joined us last year, you'll know how special this exclusive pop event was. Don't miss out, join us for a dance through Iberian autumn and intoxicating seasonal flavours inspired by modern Michelin dining."
The eight-course tasting menu is priced at £65pp and is available on the evenings from Sunday, 22nd October until Wednesday, 25th October. Matched wines are available.
