About Moda Steak . Tapas . Seasons

Moda pairs Catalan-inspired tapas and wood-fired steaks with the warmth of a bustling neighborhood dining room. Pull up a stool at the kitchen counter to watch Chef Javier simmer paella pans across open flames. For milestone celebrations or quiet dinners, parties gather in the private Wine Room and Terrace. The kitchen takes steak seriously—think a 1.6kg tomahawk finished with rich Rioja sauce, or chateaubriand flamed with brandy right beside crisp seasonal greens. The meal wraps up neatly over a shared dessert board.

  • Private Wine Room & Terrace: Gatherings book the private room and terrace with custom music hookups and personalized event planning.
  • Kitchen Counter Dining: Front-row counter seats let diners watch Chef Javier assemble tapas and paella over the pans.
  • Precision Steak Cuts: Cuts like the 1.6kg tomahawk and brandy-flamed chateaubriand arrive tailored to exact doneness.

  • Precision-Cooked Signature Steaks

    Specialized cuts from Chateaubriand flambé to wood-fired steaks are executed to exact doneness requests with rich sauces and pairings.

    The Chateaubriand Tenderloin Flambé with Brandy was cooked exactly as requested, beautifully rested, packed with flavour, and finished with a rich, glossy sauce that made the whole dish sing.

  • Attentive Dietary & Recipe Customization

    Kitchen staff and hosts take careful steps to adapt recipes, offering alcohol-free steak preparations and tailored dietary courses without sacrificing depth of flavour.

    They carefully walked us through the process, ensuring that both the steak and the chocolate lava cake—usually made with rum—were prepared without alcohol for us.

  • Front-Row Open Kitchen Bench Seating

    Bench counter seats offer front-row views of Chef Javier preparing classic paella dishes and dynamic wood-fired specialties.

    We sat by the kitchen (the best seat) and I enjoyed watching Chef Javier cook Paella.

  • Paella

    My highlight was chef Javier's Paella. He was very kind and offered me a taste of Paella and it was gorgeous 😍 There are wide range of Tapas and definitely I'm going back to eat tons of Paella.

  • 1.6kg Tomahawk Steak

    Had the 1.6kg tomahawk cooked rare with Rioja sauce, chimichurri and vegetables for $175 (amazing value) - it was the best steak we've both ever had!

  • Cauliflower Panna Cotta

    When I made the booking, I sent Francois a message asking if Javier might be able to prepare his silky smooth cauliflower panna cotta for our entrée — and true to form, nothing was too much trouble. It was every bit as refined, delicate, and beautifully balanced as I remembered.
