AboutModa

Javier Codina and François Le Savéant are the brains trust behind Moda. Hailing from Barcelona and Paris, both trained and worked in esteemed restaurants throughout Europe before securing opportunities in Brisbane and calling the city home.

In 2010, their paths converged and the two joined forces to create a dining destination that delivers unforgettable culinary experiences that wow their patrons. With Javier’s superb culinary skills and François’ charming and efficient front-of-house flair, they became the perfect duo – pouring their heart and soul into into what has become Brisbane’s go-to Spanish eatery.

Over 13 years later, the pair remain at the core of the culinary institution – now supported by a passionate and dedicated team that live and breathe the Moda experience, and work tirelessly to bring people together through exceptional food and customer service.

 


KitchenCelebrating the classics in a contemporary way.

Savour Javier Codina’s contemporary, cosmopolitan cuisine inspired by a blend of French, Catalan and Italian influences and the freshest, finest seasonal produce. Javier’s love of fresh produce inspires him to hand select his fruit, vegetables, and herbs direct from the markets which means menu items could change daily based on what’s perfect and what is in season.

  • I just wanted to say thank you so much to you and your staff. Our team and guests had a wonderful evening at Moda with all round glowing feedback for the staff, the food & the venue. We are already looking forward to our next function at Moda. Thanks again, Amy
  • Dear Javier, Francois & Staff, Last night I had the privilege of being the guest of honour, at my retirement dinner in your private dining room at MODA. Whilst myself and my wife have celebrated a number of personal milestones at MODA (Edward St) over the years, none of the other guests have had that opportunity. I would just like to advise you that the evening was wonderful, with everyone ecstatically praising the room, the service, the food, the wine and especially the overall experience. Most praise was held up for the Chefs table experience, with the presentation, quality and flavours surprising and impressing my friends and colleagues. To my wife and I, it reconfirmed our existing awareness of MODA as our favorite special occasion restaurant, to the others it was a wonderful discovery. Considering the excited discussions this morning, I suspect that you have converted many more people to future customers.   Thankyou for allowing my retirement journey to end on a high last night.   Kind Regards   Calvin Myers
  • Thank you to the Team at Moda for making my Husband’s 50th birthday celebrations a fabulous occasion enjoyed by our family and friends! Everyone commented on the atmosphere created in the wine room with excellent service and superb food on offer. The Staff were so helpful and when a guest said they didn’t eat seafood, a special (not arranged by us) fork dish was provided. We highly recommend Moda and their Team to make your functions special.
