This August, one of Scotland’s culinary talents is bringing a new kind of dining experience to the heart of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. 

Chef Modou Diagne will bring his TRUST dining concept to Scotland’s capital as a limited-run pop-up restaurant from until 24 August only, offering a bold, immersive tasting menu which “redefines food boundaries”. There is no set menu. Instead, diners will be treated to a dynamic, ever-changing tasting experience shaped entirely by Modou and his team, celebrating seasonality, bold flavours, and the power of storytelling through food. 

Helmed by Senegalese-born Chef Modou Diagne, the visionary behind Glasgow’s much-loved 111 by Modou and newly opened Trust by Modou, the pop-up Edinburgh restaurant invites guests to surrender control and embrace the unexpected. With no menu and no choices, diners are asked to place their full trust in the chef – and in return, receive an ever-changing, multi-course journey through Modou’s creativity, culture, and passion.

Trust by Modou at the Edinburgh Fringe will be located at Somewhere by Nico in the city’s West End will seat a limited number of guests each evening, creating an intimate and theatrical food experience that echoes the spirit of the Fringe itself – spontaneous, surprising, and deeply personal.

Chef Modou Diagne said: “TRUST is about letting go – of expectations, of assumptions – and allowing yourself to be surprised. It’s storytelling through food, and there’s no better time or place to do that than during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival”. 

Rservations are recommended. The five course menu is priced at £30pp with curated drinks pairings priced at £28pp.The TRUST team will be offering evening seatings, Wednesday to Sunday only until 24 August. 
Trust by Modou: Pop-Up will be located at 39a Charlotte Ln, Edinburgh EH2 4RA inside Somewhere by Nico Edinburgh.
