About Moda & The Experience

Moda’s name is inspired by “Mom & Dad,” reflecting the family values, hospitality, and sense of belonging that are at the heart of everything we do.

At our Richmond bakery & café, you’ll find French pastries, traditional Turkish desserts, and specialty coffee crafted with care. At our Chantilly restaurant, we bring together authentic Italian pasta, Turkish cuisine, and Mediterranean flavors in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

We take pride in using carefully selected ingredients and time-honored recipes. From our handcrafted desserts to our signature dishes, every item is prepared with quality and attention to detail. Our specialty chocolates even combine the rich character of Belgian chocolate with the tradition and flavor of Turkish chocolate-making.

In short, Moda is where European and Mediterranean cultures come together through exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and a family-inspired dining experience.

Both!

Our Richmond café is designed for guests looking to enjoy a specialty coffee, catch up on work, or relax with free Wi-Fi in a comfortable setting. Our Chantilly restaurant offers a spacious environment for family dinners, celebrations, and gatherings with friends.

What makes Moda unique is its ability to bring together some of the most beloved flavors from different cultures under one roof.

Our menu combines the warmth of Turkish cuisine, the elegance of French pastry, the simplicity of Italian cooking, and the shared traditions of Mediterranean dining. Whether you’re stopping by for coffee and dessert or enjoying a leisurely breakfast or dinner, every visit offers something special.

When we started Moda, our vision was never limited to opening just one café or restaurant. We wanted to create a place where people could enjoy exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and a true sense of community.

Today, we proudly serve our guests in Richmond and Chantilly, but we believe this is only the beginning. Our goal is to continue growing and bring the Moda experience to more cities and communities across the country.

Long term, we would love to see Moda become a familiar destination in many states throughout America while maintaining the same quality, warmth, and family spirit that define who we are.

Food, Drinks & Dietary Options

Halal refers to food prepared according to specific ethical and quality standards. All meats served at Moda are halal, and our kitchens do not use pork products or alcohol.

This allows us to provide a clean, inclusive, and welcoming dining experience for everyone in our community.

Turkish breakfast is more than a meal it’s an experience meant to be shared.

Instead of a single entrée, your table is filled with a variety of small plates, including premium cheeses, Mediterranean olives, honey and kaymak (Turkish clotted cream), fresh breads, homemade spreads, and traditional dishes like Menemen. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a relaxing weekend with family and friends.

Simit is one of Turkey’s most beloved traditional baked goods. Coated in toasted sesame seeds and baked to a golden finish, it offers a satisfying crunch on the outside while remaining soft and light inside.

It can be enjoyed on its own with a freshly brewed cup of Turkish tea, paired with cheese and olives, or shared as part of a traditional Turkish breakfast spread.
