Here’s the first look at Chef Modou Diagne’s debut restaurant, 111 by Modou, at 111 Cleveden Road in Glasgow which is now open. Earlier this year Chef Nico Simeone (Six by Nico) announced that he was handing over the reins of 111 by Nico to his close colleague and friend, Modou Diagne.
Modou, originally from Senegal, went from Kitchen Porter to Head Chef, with Chef Nico offering him the restaurant ownership opportunity in March.
The 46-cover restaurant has opened with a reduced capacity of 28 and further features include an open kitchen and contemporary artwork.
Chef Modou said, “I am overwhelmed with the support that I have had over the past few months from the people of Glasgow and beyond. This is a dream come true. I’m so grateful to Nico for this opportunity and I still can’t quite believe that my name is above the doors at 111.
I’m excited about the journey ahead of us, showcasing great produce and introducing myself to the local community and welcoming new and familiar faces back to the restaurant.”
