The kitchen team is headed up by Chef Patron Santiago Lastra and was awarded a Michelin star in 2022, followed by being named 17th in the World’s 50 Best in 2024. 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. We are so proud of our team at KOL who are passionate, energetic with full of stories to tell. As KOL continues its success, we’re looking for a Sous Chef to join the team, who will support the Head Chef in the management of all the aspect of the kitchen and developing of the junior team members.
