Part 1<br />
<br />
Throwback to early this year & a video appears online, @sixbynico owner & well renowned chef Nico Simeone is in his office with his staff, presenting & handing over his star chef Modou, with a whole business. His 111 branch is being changed from Nico to Modou. It is documented that Modou came to this country with just a small amount of cash to his name & had lived rough for sometime & managed to totally turn his life around. So for us, this was a must visit! This isnβt just a restaurant. This is a story of passion, friendship, self belief, hard work & talent. π<br />
<br />
The Food π΅οΈββοΈ (Mr Diners Menu)<br />
<br />
1 BLACK TRUFFLE<br />
<br />
Presented to the most excellent standard. I could have eaten about 5 of these. They have to be savoured however. This was the epitome of fine dining & a real show opener<br />
<br />
2 SMOKED HAM HOUGH<br />
<br />
Just wow - check out the video & the amazing smoking presentation. This was not all style over substance however. This was actually my favourite dish out of the 6 dishes I tried. The Ham meat was smooth & Iβve never had such a delicate piece of fat alongside. It actually made fat elegant? How did they do that? Perfection!<br />
<br />
3 DUCK<br />
<br />
This dish was also really nice. I canβt cast my mind back too much to the flavours (Iβll blame the wine) but i remember i enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
4 LAMB BELLY<br />
<br />
So this was my least favourite but it was still very nice. The textures didnβt flow as well as the other options but still to a high standard.<br />
<br />
5 CHEESE (SUPP)<br />
<br />
We all opted for this and it was actually one of the best dishes. The cheese was an unusual Camembert which can be purchased from a store on Great Western Rd so I will need to enquire as it was one of the best. The piece of cake was also so nice with the cheese π§<br />
<br />
6 LEMON<br />
<br />
I loved this dessert palate cleanser. The basil ice cream was heavenly with the citrus contrast. Herby & earthy with that zest it was an uplifting way to finish a wonderful experience<br />
<br />
Part 2 - Miss Diner πββοΈ<br />
<br />
Two words that spring to my mind when thinking about my experience at Modou would be indulgent & exquisite! What a treat, the quality of the food & the service is impeccable π€© Our waiter was a lovely guy called Nico! He was a fountain of knowledge & so helpful talking us through each course (and that all important matching wine flight ππ·)<br />
<br />
1st - Black Truffle (pictured in Mr Diner's review) Yeah we had the same to start π If you are a fan of Black Truffle then you will love this flavoursome number!<br />
<br />
2nd - Loch Etive Sea Trout (1st picture) WOW. That charred flavour though π€€ the fish was extremely smooth & that Quail's Egg was a match made in heaven!<br />
<br />
3rd - Pink Fir Apple Potato This was an interesting mix of flavours with the potato cooked a few different ways π with a pea emulsion, bloody good I'll tell ye!<br />
<br />
4th - Shetland Cod I loved this dish, the mix of chorizo & mussels really brought out the flavours in the fish! Delish π<br />
<br />
Cheese Supp - I love cheese so that got devoured ππ§<br />
<br />
5th - Golden Peach I normally love a chocolate dessert but this seriously changed my mind π the flavours of juicy peach & ginger were incredible! Sweet & zingy π€€<br />
<br />
This was just magic.. What a talented chef we have gained here in Glasgow, fantastic π @111bymodou<br />
