Since the restaurant opened in 2020, Santiago Lastra's Kol has become one of the absolute go-tos in London. The 'nomadic chef', as he is often known by his peers, worked in world-class restaurants such as Noma and Mugaritz, before setting up shop in the UK capital's well-heeled Marylebone neighbourhood. Oozing Mexican spirit and bursting with Central American flavours but always using British seasonal produce, Kol's dishes are authentic and inventive, including the likes of langoustine tacos, trout tamales with salsa macha and candied beetroot and raspberry vinegar sope (a fried masa base with toppings). At the end of a meal, guests move downstairs to enjoy desserts, petit fours and a sip or two of perfectly matched mezcal. There are a few drinks pairing options: the standard includes wine and some cocktail surprises; a mezcal pairing; the icons pairing with high-end cuvées; or soft drinks with in-house fermented beverages.
