Dimitrii
Modestov
From Russia to the Basque Country via Italy and many other places in this wonderful planet, Dimitrii has had the unparalleled opportunity to work with internationally renowned chefs such as Juan Mari Arzak, Bittor Arginzoniz (Asador Etxebarri), Albert Adriá, Ever Cubilla, Oriol Invern and Elido Mollo.
In Takatak, Modestov marries the familiar flavours he was introduced to by the women in his childhood in Russia to the most innovative flavours from around the world and to some of the best wines from the small wineries in the Basque Country.

ORGANIC
INGREDIENTS
From the sea, the orchard and the meadows directly to your plate via our kitchen where we are constantly trying to enhance near perfect ingredients!
Local ingredients: from our markets to your plate
We marry organic products …
“I grew up cooking with the women in my family in Russia. My mother picked the vegetables from our orchard and bought the ingredients we needed in the local market that same day.
I can’t imagine any another way to cook. “

… to Organic Wines
Our natural wine menu is rather risky…
We know…
But, our intention is to create awareness…
We refuse to accept pesticides and additives in our wine harvesting process…
And we’d like to think you’d support us.
Will you?
Dimitrii Modestov
