Before ingredients and dishes, we invest in the people and producers who trust us to represent their culture and traditions, and our team also reflects this.

Founded in 2018 by lifelong friends Jake Kasumov and Marco Mendes, our journey began with Casa do Frango.

In 2020, we partnered with chef patron Santiago Lastra to open KOL, a fine dining restaurant in Marylebone celebrating Mexican cuisine with British ingredients.

KOL has since earned a Michelin Star, named as one the World's 50 Best Restaurants. 2024 saw the launch of two new ventures : Fonda, a contemporary Mexican concept in Mayfair-our second collaboration with Santiago Lastra-and AngloThai in Marylebone, the debut restaurant from husband-and-wife team John and Desiree Chantarasak, blending Thai flavours with British ingredients.

Within three months of opening, AngloThai earned a Michelin star. At the 2025 National Restaurant Awards, AngloThai was named 'The Square Opening of the Year' and ranked 7th in the Top 100 list, followed by KOL at number 50.

September, saw the opening of Luso, a contemporary Portuguese restaurant in Fitzrovia. We'd love to hear from you if you're an experienced Host and you're up for a new challenge and opportunity.
