111 by Modou in Glasgow City

Super delicious food, beautiful ambiance, nice and relaxed experience. We will definitely be back 💚

The total trust 10 course menu on a Monday...superb!!! You don't know what you'll be eating but I guarantee it'll be excellent. Trying to guess all tge elements of each course was fun. Staff were well informed and knew the menus perfectly. Grwat customer service and excellent value, I'll be going back again Loved it!!

Just had the Monday 10 course "surprise" menu. Staff were very knowledgeable about the food for each course. Food was lovely, cooked to perfection. Some items I would never have normally picked that were lovely. And amazing value for money. We will definitely be back and recommending to friends and family.

Such a cool and refreshing dining concept! The blind tasting menu made the whole experience feel like a little culinary adventure. Every course was beautifully presented and delicious, and for £25 for five courses, the value is unreal. Service was warm and attentive, and the space has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend for something a bit different without breaking the bank!

Food is amazing. Great value considering the quality of the food. Staff are knowledgeable and very friendly. Recommended, especially for a special occasion.

Left a bit disappointed after all the great reviews. The food was nice, but it didn't have the wow factor we were expecting. We certainly didn't leave hungry, but we all ate more snacks when we got home after a 10 course meal! Some dishes looked incredible, some very poorly presented (see cheese image attached!) The service was very good, but the info on the wine flight felt very scripted and the script was repeated for 2 different wines, we were also not shown any of the bottles, which would have been preferable. We will return to try a different menu though!

We are local to here and visit regularly. 111 By Modou is brilliant, has reasonably priced options on certain days, and it’s always busy!

The tables were so close together that it felt crowded. So much so that when we were eating, people were coming in and out of the narrow passage on both sides, and we were almost attacked by their buttocks. The problem is that at this price, 129 pounds for two people, it shouldn't be this kind of dining situation. The service was polite, but also very simple. Even though I paid a 10% service charge, the waiter didn't notice that the customer's water bottle was empty from beginning to end and needed to be refilled. When we left, we got up and left to take our jackets by ourselves. Several dishes tasted very ordinary, and the various foam mousse-like condiments and sauces were not very effective. When we checked out, we were inexplicably asked to pay an extra so-called donation item, which was actually mandatory, not an option, and was directly added to the bill. Even if it was 2 pounds, we paid it.

Food was lovely, service a little slow took us over 2 hours for our 10 course meal. Staff were very nice and welcoming.

The food was lukewarm and poorly executed. Dishes were bland, with little creativity, and the overall standard felt amateur. Courses came at inconsistent intervals, and we weren’t told about menu substitutions until the food arrived. Tables were crammed too close together, which made the space feel crowded. Service was polite but minimal—cutlery wasn’t changed between courses, and water wasn’t refilled unless asked. Several dishes came served with a foamy mousse-textured sauce that didn’t work. The cheese course was served fridge-cold, making it hard and unpleasant to eat. Do not come here expecting high quality food.

Food was delicious. It was an extremely busy evening but the food arrived smoothly and the young waiting staff were friendly and very competent. Worth every penny.

Great night. 10 taster courses and everyone was outstanding. Had the accompanying wine and it was excellent too. 6 different wines and reasonable portions. Would recommend.

Good value for money and lovely staff, but the food is pretty average

Quite disappointing to be honest. We did the 10 course tasting menu with paired wine. We arrived at 8 and were really hungry so got the sourdough and puttenesca butter 'snack' which was literally just a slice of bread cut in half with some whipped butter for £5. After that the first course didn't arrive until around 8.45pm so about 35-40 minutes after we had ordered. After that, the next courses came out a bit faster but we were so hungry which made savouring the tiny courses really difficult. There was also a mix up with our pairing wines so didn't get one of them until after we finished the course it was designed to be paired with. On another occasion we got our wines about 20 minutes before a course arrived and had almost finished them by the time the course came. Staff were nice, though I think less would be more might when it comes to explaining the paired wines as you could really feel them struggling to remember all the details which was a little bit awkward and inauthentic. Overall, although the courses were mostly nice and very interesting, the overall experience was definitely lacking and felt quite sloppy for one that was very expensive.

First time trying this place, food was great, as was the wine.Had a lovely time and will be back...

Good food but slow service and tightly packed.

Eric was amazing! Super attentive and great service. Really enjoyed guessing what was in each course, made you really slow down and think. Was perfectly full by the end. Really great value, absolutely recommend.

10 course trust, amazing, just go. Value is incredible. Really makes you appreciate the food by having to guess the ingredients. The young staff team are all top notch able to have a laugh creating a welcoming relaxed atmosphere. Please go .

Friendly staff and some decent drinks. The food itself is the most overpriced, overhyped, pretentious, bland, conveyor belt, bite-sized nothing. Almost everything is presented as mousse or puree. It takes them longer to explain all the ingredients each time than it does to eat an individual dish. Over £200 and we left hungry? The kind of 'experience' for people who need to be told what's good for them.

Great experience at the ten course with matching wines. Went on a Saturday night, was really busy with a queue out the door at times. This is an experience, not fast food, so mark out plenty of times, we were there for 3 hours. The vegan options for me were interesting and innovative and didn’t feel like I missed out. Some courses were better than others, but there’s 10 courses, you’ll find plenty you like. Super small plates so you’ll not need rolled out after 10 courses. The wine pairings were unusual - a fizzy sweet rose with one course and only one red - but enjoyed most. Staff were young and enthusiastic and like the open plan kitchen to add to the atmosphere. Fabulous value for money and a real treat. Will def be back.

10 course winter menu experience was disappointing, particularly the food itself. I’ve heard good things about other menus but after this experience I wouldn’t come back.

Disappointing. So much so that we cancelled our next booking. I hope they can up their game because we love the story of the place.

Second time ive been now. This time for the monday night 10 course 'trust' menu. You dont know what your getting and you get to test your knowledge about what ingredients are in each dish once youve finished. The food is fantasic as is the service. I do realise theres only 8 pictures (I got carried away a couple of times)

Regardless of the fact that if you book at 4 pm on Monday and get the 10 courses for £30. The quality of the food, inventiveness of each dish, size of portions and genuine niceness of the staff, this restaurant is the best dining/ food experience I have ever had . So lucky to have the chance to eat this kind of menu. Thank you

Received a voucher for Christmas for the 10 course tasting menu with wine. Had the meal booked on Friday 31st of January 2025 at half 7. Once we entered the restaurant we were meet by the front of house who took us to our table. The front of house asked if we had any food allergies and asked one of the waiters to bring over our welcome drinks. She said someone would be over to ask if we would want aperitifs or snacks. We waited half an hour while two tables beside us entered the restaurant and received a detailed description of the menu and their snacks. After half an hour, I got up to ask the front of house when someone would come over to serve us. The front of house came over and kneeled down beside me asking me to apologies for the way I spoke to her. All I asked for was for someone to serve our table. I did not shout or be inappropriate and could not believe the way she handled the situation. I was upset and embarrassed with how I was spoken to. After a discussion she then asked if we had any food allergies again. After that I thought some of the other serves were rude to start and made me and my partner uncomfortable. The food was great and had no complaints. They forgot the first wine as this was received later than others about us. We left the restaurant at 11 o’clock so in total we were there for three an a half hours. Really disappointed with the service from the front of house but the food was great. As mentioned before this was a gift from a family member who attended previously and wanted us to experience a lovely meal.

Tables too close TOGETHER. Food had definitely been prepared well in advance. Critics CHOICE SO JUST EXCEPT WHAT THEY TELL YOU!!! NOT OVERLY IMPRESSED.. Chicken was uneatable.. Shame.as I was looking forward to something different....

I attended for a meal on a Saturday afternoon & whilst the food was amazing & not knowing what you are eating was fun & I couldn’t fault it but the service was mediocre. My husband was served out of date beer which we were refunded for but still shouldn’t of happened, staff never asked if we would like starters after saying they would come back over, we had to ask them & they forgot to serve us our desserts. It felt like there was generally no continuity amongst the staff & who was serving who. Nobody appeared to serving the same tables therefore ending up being forgot about. We also paid by gift card but weren’t given the bill to check beforehand or told that the payment had gone through. I had to ask if we could leave & if I could have a receipt.

Absolutely amazing place....Best restaurant in glasgow;)

I am currently having 10 course at modou, I've been here nearly 2 hrs and had 6 out of ten of the courses. I asked if they could speed it up and was told they would try. I was then told it's a 3 hour menu, since when??? Why wasn't i told when I booked? Came for a.konday night ut was far superior, think they are dragging it out as far too many tables, and have staff's asses in my face as I try and eat!! Hoping we drink more alcohol. Just not what i experienced before sadly

Yes top quality. Great food, service so friendly and attentive. Everyone liked every course without exception. Food is well thought through and super tasty The wine pairing was very good especially the dessert wine. Mostly meaty but one of us was veggie and enjoyed all the veggie versions. No spoilers but each course very nice and very varied and apparently can change daily!

Would highly recommend and have been recommending to all my friends and family! Literally not a single fault. Love the critics menu & trying to guess flavours. Waiting staff are great too. If you’re vegetarian, you won’t feel like you’re missing out either - the dishes are really innovative & unique - they really went all out. 10/10 - can’t wait for my next visit x

Delicious food, fun and friendly people.

A strange mix of music being played was my only "negative" - pick a theme and stick to that would be my suggestion

Sublime food and amazing service. Eric, our amazing server, was very knowledgeable about each individual course and gave us lots of detailed information about the wines that accompanied the dishes. Beautiful evening, would recommend everyone to give it a go!

5 courses for £25 with absolutely no idea what they are, amazing, great from start to finish, service excellent and the place was really busy on a Sunday night, great all round

We were here on a sunday and had the 5 courses. The food was delicious and the surprise menu was fun. Special thanks to our server Stephanie. She was the best and good luck at your new job!

Staff were brilliant, lovely setting too. 10 course autumn menu was outstanding and great value for money.

Fabulous cosy restaurant spotlessly clean with an excellent friendly and professional staff. We had the 10 course taster menu which was truly excellent. Some things I wouldn't normally order but was fantastic. I had the matched wines which were very good and all in I thought it was good value for the type of meal it was. All in an amazing experience.

had an amazing time as always, first time i've been able to treat my mum to such a nice meal in a while. There were a few hiccups in part to me misunderstanding the booking and a couple service hiccups but all were handled professionally and curteously. I am a big believer in the sign of a good business isn't that they don't make mistakes but know how to handle them and the team at 111 proved this. Highly recomend this to anyone for an amazing gourmet experience for an afordable price

Overall slightly disappointing visit. Food was average, portions were ridiculously small even for a tasting menu. Some needed seasoning and some the temperature was off. Also to not offer a wine till the second course on a wine pairing tasting menu is a first for me. Could be better for the price

The concept of this restaurant is truly remarkable, as it offers a unique dining experience with a ten-course meal where the dishes remain a delightful surprise. The staff members are exceptionally courteous and friendly, which creates a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future

Food as usual excellent and great value. 10 course tasting menu.

First rate restaurant. Would highly recommend the tasting menu

The autumn menu is amazing! We had a few dietary requirements within our group and the chefs were very accommodating in making substitutes which were just as lovely. Well worth it for a treat night out.

Excellent and efficient service to compliment equally brilliant food. Despite visiting at the end of the summer season the menu still captured the vibrance of the produce and gave a welcome break from the crispness outside. Looking forward to returning to see what they do with autumn!!

Excellent service and amazing food. We had a table booked and enjoyed the 10 dish surprise menu.

Fantastic food and wine pairings and attentive and knowledgeable service, and at these prices a must

Visit 111 by Modou with a few friends for the Monday Total Trust menu, and it was absolutely spectactular - probably the best meal I've ever had. Ten taster dishes, six glasses of wine, and a blank menu that you fill in with your guess of what you're eating. They accomodated beautifully for a full vegan taster menu, keeping them as close to the regular tasters as they could - every dish was amazing and I'm already planning when to go back (this was one of my friend's second visit). Beautiful restaurant, the staff were spectacular and very knowledgable - if you're wavering on trying, it's worth it.

Went to a wine tasting and food matching experience. Our host, Stephanie was knowledgable, articulate and charming. We were most impressed by the whole experience. All the staff were attentive and the food/wines were outstanding. What a lovely night out!

Excellent food and great cocktails and service

An absolute treat. The most delicious food and always interesting ways to engage with it. The wine list is perfection and staff will guide you to the right things for you

Great idea and execution of 11 small courses (on the day we went) with seasonal fare, in a wonderful atmosphere. Similar to a tasting menu you may have come across offered by some restaurants but no option to have less but larger portions of the same. Recommend

Have visited for both the critics choice (lunch) and the 10 by Modou (early evening). I’d say i enjoyed the latter better, there was more of a buzz about the place and the mystery dishes were very exciting. Would post pics - but that would spoil the experience.

Informative, interested front of house staff, enjoyable menu, great wine pairings and dessert wine to die for!

Such an amazing experience! The food was just pure perfection!

The "Total Trust" menu was incredible value. Five courses and all delicious.

Fabulous dining experience, food was amazing

Michelin style, but with very reasonable prices. One of the best restaurants in Glasgow. Great value for money. A must try. For first timers, it will be fun and, possibly, different. But be open minded and enjoy.

We had an absolutely lovely evening at 111 by Modu. The serving staff were absolutely fantastic, really knowledgeable and explaining all the dishes. During one of the explanations I showed myself up rather by asking about the 'urban flavours' but it turned out our server had an American accent and he had said 'herbal flavours'. The fit of giggles sustained through the sea bass with picked fennel and boulasbaise only added to the joy of the food. I really cannot recommend this place enough. The whole operation for serving 10 courses and 6 paired wines is just perfectly choreographed and you get to see the whole show if you sit facing the bar/servery. After the first two paired wines I was rather worried that my second Park Run this year was rather in jeopardy. But I managed to make it to the end and am confident that I will still be able to trot around Springburn park in the morning, despite all the feasting and bonhomie. Every course was just exquisite and it's hard to pick one out. But the frozen granny smith granita thing with pecan yumminess on the top came at a very opportune moment when I was starting to flag (course 9). The whole things was a work of art and the staff were amazing. Thank you.

The food was sensational, coupled with the wine paring menu it was excellency with every bite. Michelle was our server and they were phenomenal. Polite, enthusiastic, friendly and warm we were took through our 10 ten courses with their expert care and we will be back with haste!

Was a fab meal but felt a bit rushed

Absolute must-visit if you’re in Glasgow. We had the Monday 10-course tasting menu with wine pairings - food and wine absolutely delicious and incredible value for money. As a pescatarian I also massively appreciated the restaurant catering to this with no fuss. All the staff were friendly and professional, and the restaurant was completely full with a great atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back if we visit Glasgow again!

Hands down one of the best meal I have had.. we had critics choice 5 course meal with wine pairing. Best part was guessing what’s in every course.. service was great.. everyone was very engaging and fun.. overall great experience! Highly recommend.

We had a great time, the staff was pleasant, and the concept was really nice. We recommend it.

Very noisy. Total trust concept spoilt hearing servers telling loudly other tables what it was in feedback. Poor vegetarian alternative. Loved pudding. 60% of courses good. Don't like service charge concept of 10% for 2 people

We loved the guessing courses. It was nice to see live cooking and plating. Although small portions, they very rich and filling!

Excellent for a date. Amazing food, fun service, cosy decor, and fairly priced, with a local feel despite being an ex Six by Nico restaurant.

Delicious food, lovely staff, and great ambience .

One of the best dining experiences in Glasgow. The food was delicious! The staff were so helpful and friendly (shoutout to Michelle for taking care of us). Definitely will be back soon. Thanks for making my birthday dinner special 😁

This is the second time we have been here and can’t fault the food. Very high quality and innovative menu. We ate from the trust the chef menu where you get 5 courses and if you wish to you can guess what’s in it. Makes the experience so much more interesting. If you like trying new things and don’t have any food fears this is the place to go. Unlike a lot of tasting menus you feel full afterwards because it’s so well made and luxurious. The staff are great and the interaction when they reveal the courses adds to the experience.

We visited 111 by Modou for their Monday 10 Course tasting menu. We chose the option of working out what was in each dish, rather than being told when being served which made our dinner feel more like an experience! The food was delicious, and the service was good, with all but one of the waiters being very knowledgebale about the dishes and really assisted in making the experience feel special. All in all we had a brilliant time and I would highly reccomend it to anyone who loves good food for really reasonable prices!

The Critics Choice 5 course menu was delicious, what a great idea, you don't know what you're going to get but just leave it to the chef. The price was reasonable and the service from Paula was excellent. We will be back

23/5/23 The food was amazing. The atmosphere was frenetic. I sat with my back to the serving area. The noise levels were incredible. Bottles were thrown into bins, waiters squeezed through the tight space between our table and the next until I blocked it. The noise level was terrible and not relaxing at all.

Top notch. The food, the service, the ambiance. All perfect. We were there as a wee treat for my daughter's birthday and it didn't disappoint. Special mention to Eric and Michelle.

Great food, nice relaxed atmosphere

Food was amazing, very attentive service. All around great dining experience. There was 10 courses I just forgot to take pictures of them all. They were also very happy to sub out courses for the veggie menu to met dietary requirements.

My friend and I came here for the Spring menu. The service was great, value for money is excellent. However, the menu itself was underwhelming. For a spring theme we expected the dishes to have a fresh and light flavour. Instead, it was overly salty and one of the dishes was basically macaroni and cheese with bacon. How is that a spring flavour? I drank 4 glasses of water with the 10 dishes cause I was so dehydrated with how salty everything was. We really enjoyed 2 out of the 10 dishes. I would come back again to try a different menu, but really think the Spring one is not a success... Also, who serves a block of cheese as dish #8 when people are already stuffed? Could have definitely been presented better.

Great tasting menu as always. We've been a few times and the food is always excellent. We are going again next week.

Had the vegetarian version of the 10 course menu, with wine pairings. It was just great, the best meal I've ever had, and I'm 62 so have had a few. Very good value too. What a lovely restaurant, great menu and staff. Thanks for a most memorable evening.

We were really looking forward to that dinner. But our expectations weren’t justified. The time between dishes could reach 15-20 minutes, which is very long, the whole process of eating took 2.5 hours, although we had plans after the dinner and did eat very quickly, the food was ordinary, out of 10 dishes we liked 3-4, the fish was very salted, in at the end of dining I was extra charged another £4 and I only noticed this after we had finished. We are really disappointed with the experience at 111.

Ethan was incredible and the service from all members of staff on shift tonight was genuine, knowledgeable and lovely. Food was incredible and so was the wine pairings with it.

Never disappoints, food and flavors outstanding

We love going to Modou. Best tasting menu in the city. Can't recommend it enough. Only drawback is that it's always roasting, winter or summer. Some AC would be greatly appreciated.

Really enjoyable dining experience at Modu 111. Easily catered for gf and vegetarian requirements. Beautifully presented and tasty food. All the servers were knowledgeable and friendly. Relaxed ambience overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

We attended 111 by Modou for Mothers day. We were totally blown away with the whole experience. The staff were amazing and the food was divine. Possibly one of the best restaurants we have ever visited. A special thank you to all the staff, especially Pola, Jim, Michelle, Findlay, Louis and of course the chefs who are culinary geniuses. We will definitely be back guys, thank you so much for making a very special day.

Total Trust, great idea, great food and great fun

Enjoyed the 5 course "Total Trust" menu, excellent food and value at £25. Couple of small points, coffee came before dessert and no teaspoon with coffee, slightly nippy waitress when asked for teaspoon and dessert. Was overcharged by £30 on bill (Inspire instead of Trust), sorted out okay. Rest of staff were really nice. Would recommend.

The “Total Trust” menu is great fun and also really good value - £25 for the five courses. The menu changes with each service so little point giving a run through but some inventive and skilful dishes here. You can choose not to know what the dish is and then write down your thoughts on menu. Service very friendly and helpful and they seemed happy to take part in the guessing game. At this price and with standard of cooking, well worth a trip.

Update: I was asked to contact the restaurant to discus it further - I had emailed but had no response. Great value for money and the majority of staff were lovely. However when having the total trust menu (where you guess what you are being served) my girlfriend who has been vegetarian for 10 years was given and ate fish risotto. It was three or four courses in and the server was aware it in the previous dishes that we were having the vegetarian menu. We quickly questioned if it was fish and the dish was replaced but the situation was laughed off and there was no sincere apology, even though there was clear upset. Obviously mistakes happen but messing up a menu that is based on trust is not good - the following dishes were nice but it was hard to enjoy as we were having to question if it was vegetarian.

Had a wonderful 10 course tasting every course was superb and the staff were excellent thanks for a brilliant time.

Stunning food and atmosphere, staff were all amazing to. Will be back!

Went to “total trust” on Sunday. The food was amazing, and we were very well looked after by Finlay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this as a way to pass a Sunday afternoon! Will be back.

Been here a few times for different menus, we had the 10 by Modou menu this time and it was fantastic! Service was great and staff were very friendly (especially Michelle!) and the food was incredible, will be back again

Went with the Total Trust Menu where the chef decides your menu. Added to that was that you can guess what the menu was after eating it. You can be told if you wish. The food was amazing, top quality which was added to by the fantastic service. Thank you Finlay and the two other servers I didn't have the pleasure of knowing their name. They were outstanding members of the service industry and I hope to have the pleasure of being back at Modou soon.

Very well presented and tasty dishes. And with the 10-course menu for £30pp you simply can't go wrong! Staff is always friendly and helpful too.

We tried the 10 course trust menu. I really enjoyed it, was so nice not choosing your own food and just trying new things. Some courses were much better than others and I felt like it was much more inventive at the start and was a little less so as it went on, but overall I enjoyed the food and the service was lovely.

What a total delight! Came for the Total Trust surprise menu for a special birthday outing and it was glorious - wonderful cooking and such fun trying to identify the different flavours and ingredients. Confident, clever and satisfying food and really reasonably priced for the standard. Special mention to Finlay our waiter, full of enthusiasm and information about the courses and ingredients and a real sparkle and warmth in his hospitality - he made the meal even more special. Will definitely be back!

Wow, very talented people, best food experience for a long time.

Loved it. Did a 10 course tasting menu and guessed the dishes too. I would say im a BIT picky but i LOVED 9 out of 10 of the dishes (i just hate mince pies!) Would have personally liked to have each course served faster. Definitely recommend. Something different.

Food was very cold...looked very busy but needed to serve on hot plates at least
