For nearly a decade, Modesto Tapas Bar and Restaurant has become the choice Spanish restaurant in St. Louis. Set on the Hill, Modesto's intimate and lively setting makes it one of St. Louis' most popular destinations for large groups as well as intimate dinners for two.

From our extensive Spanish wine list to our olive oils and cheeses, everything we serve is crafted to allow you to experience the genuine taste of Spain. Our menu boasts traditional Spanish dishes like Tortilla Española and Paella Mixta as well as more contemporary fare like our Setas a la Plancha, grilled mushrooms with Cabrales cheese butter, and our Langosta Frita, a delectable fried lobster tail served with chimichurri.

Owners Brendan Marsden and Julie Block paired their drive to deliver the best Spanish cuisine to St. Louis with the talents of Chef Grace Dinsmoor. Her extensive travels to Spain and her passion of bringing true Spanish flavor to St. Louis are never more evident than in the dishes she prepares. Without hesitation or apology, Chef Grace brings the best Spanish ingredients, some which would not otherwise be available in our city, to Modesto.

At Modesto, it is our absolute goal to deliver the experience of the true social essence of tapas - to eat, drink and share with your friends and family.
