We opted for Moderno catering for a family gathering, and it was a wonderful choice. They provided great, individual service, and Andy, the owner, was very accommodating. The food was delicious and plentiful, and reasonably priced....and delivered warm to our door! I would definitely recommend Moderno.
The mussels were so good, I ate the broth with a spoon. I always love when a restaurant gives you some bread with the meal, and moderno had some great bread with olive oil and balsamic on the side. Prego and Bifana sandwiches were amazing, seriously delicious. Definitely worth the trip
I wasn’t sure what to expect from moderno bistro but I’m glad I walked in and sat down. I ordered the grilled cod with garlic potatoes. Loved it. Nice place to go for a quite meal as well. Definitely will be returning to try another choice on the menu.
It was one of our 3 stops for the "taste the region" and it was definitely my favorite! Sangria was AMAZING and the food was OMG so good! Highly recommend for a meal or a quick app and drink stop.
A real diamond in the rough! I love this place! The experience at this restaurant is always phenomenal. Fabulous service, nice cozy, upscale atmosphere without being pretentious and really excellent food. What more could you ask for? The octopus stew is in a league of its own, the grilled COD was perfectly cooked and melts in your mouth. Dessert has some unbelievable options too (especially the Cheesecake and Natas Do Ceu). Loved all of it, if you like seafood then this place is a must-go! Thank you for the moderno experience I'll be back!!
First time ordering here. Had the penne pasta special. It was all delicious. We fed 2 men and 4 women and a toddler with some left over. I will definitely order from here again. The guy even helped me carry out the salad so it didnt get hot from the pasta... that's service.
Authentic Portuguese Cuisine, simple delicious!! Make sure to try the Calamari and the Moderno Platter served with generous portions of Portuguese cheeses!! The special of the day was octopus stew and it was absolutely perfect, spicy and full of flavour definitely the best dish I’ve ever had from a restaurant. You won’t find it on most menus at restaurants, great atmosphere and the waiter was a gem. I’ll be back soon.
We were a party of 11. We had the pleasure of having dinner here on new year's eve. The service was great and the food was hot and delicious. My bife a casa was cooked to perfection. The calamari appetizer was a huge hit.
