MICHELIN-starred chef Modesto Fabregat is paying another visit to the kitchen at the Spanish restaurant Rioja in Glasgow’s Finnieston in a four-day exchange that starts on Sunday.
In a repeat of a similar event last year, Fabregat, from Valencia, will collaborate with Rioja head chef, Luis Urrutiabeaskoa on an eight-course tasting menu. Both trained in Basque Country in Spain, arguably the foodie capital of the world, have taken inspiration from their surroundings and once again imagined dishes that reflect the best of Scottish and Iberian produce.
The operations manager of Rioja and the Rotunda Restaurant Group, Eduardo Fernandez Blanco, said: “Our team is passionate about flavour and passionate about produce. We’re also 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 our exclusive pop event was. Michelin Tasting Menu
The eight-course tasting menu is priced at £65pp and is available in the evenings from Sunday until next Wednesday. A few tables remain.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
