Modou Diagne, the chef behind 111 by Modou, is opening a new restaurant in Finnieston, Glasgow, this July. Named TRUST by Modou, the restaurant offers a five-course tasting menu for £30, but with no menu handed out. Diners leave it to the kitchen, and Modou and his team cook whatever is in season, so each course is a surprise.
