The Only MICHELIN-STARRED Mexican Restaurant in the UK: How KOL Redefines Mexican Cuisine

KOL is the only Michelin-starred Mexican restaurant in the UK, bringing bold, authentic flavors to London while using the finest British produce. Chef Santiago Lastra and his team craft innovative dishes that blend traditional Mexican techniques with locally sourced ingredients, proving that world-class Mexican cuisine doesn’t have to rely on imported products.

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
