KOL Restaurant
“Inventive Mexican-British fusion” - AA Inspector
LONDON W1, LONDON POSTAL DISTRICTS
Our Inspector's view
The tagline at KOL is ‘Mexican soul, British ingredients’, which perfectly encapsulates the ethos at this innovative restaurant where fusion food is washed down with mezcal and agave spirits. Terracotta walls, brown leather banquettes and clay pots add to the rustic Latin American feel and the food is equally as robust and colourful. Meltingly tender confit pork cheek served in a clay pot to share turns up with cabbage, black beans and gooseberry and pear salsa, while whole grilled octopus is teamed with bone marrow, pink fir potatoes and seaweed macha. Leave room for fig leaf cake, strawberries and marigold.

About the area
Discover London
The UK's capital was founded by the Romans shortly after they invaded in 43AD. Since then it’s evolved into one of the greatest cities on earth. From a bloody, squalid history to the vanguard of fashion in the Swinging 1960s to the buzzing metropolis it is today, London has something for everyone. There are very British pursuits like the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and an impressive collection of traditional English pubs. And that’s not to mention world-renowned arts venues, galleries and museums, award-winning theatre and unrivalled shopping – all found within a few Tube stops of each other.
London’s royal history is not to be missed. Visitors can roam around one of Britain’s finest medieval castles and royal prison, and learn about the final days of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London or, for the less bloodthirsty, visit the Queen’s London home, Buckingham Palace. Don’t miss out on exploring the capital’s Royal Parks – from St James’ Park and Hyde Park in the centre to the majestic Hampton Court and wilderness of Richmond Park in the southwest.
