Chef Modou Diagne has expanded his presence in Glasgow with the opening of Studio Modou, a new 22-seat restaurant on Nithsdale Road in the city’s Southside. The neighbourhood venue was previously used as the Six by Nico development kitchen, and becomes his third in the city, joining 111 by Modou and TRUST by Modou.
The new venture sees Modou step away from the fixed-format tasting menus that shaped his earlier work at 111 by Modou and Trust, moving instead toward “a more open, expressive style of cooking centred on shared plates.”
“Studio Modou is the most personal thing I’ve ever done,” says Modou. “It’s small, warm and rooted in the community around it. I wanted a space where I could grow my own style, try new ideas and create a dining experience that feels natural, social and constantly evolving.”
Studio Modou will operate as a pop-up throughout winter with a full launch planned for January 2026.
