MJMK was founded by Jake Kasumov and Marco Mendes in order to pursue their joint passions - initially for music, and then for food and drink.  At MJMK, we share these passions. We love venturing out to discover incredible cooking – bringing the produce we love to the London market and working with exceptional talent. Our concepts are inspired either by Jake and Marco’s heritage or by those of the chef partners we work with.

In 2018, we launched the first Casa do Frango in London Bridge to critical acclaim. Taking inspiration from Marco’s southern Portuguese upbringing, Casa do Frango celebrates the spirit of Southern Portugal. This restaurant was followed by Casa do Frango Shoreditch, in 2019. In 2022 we opened Casa do Frango Piccadilly on Heddon Street and Casa do Frango Victoria opened in summer 2023. 

We also operate relaxed fine dining concepts. We opened KOL restaurant in Marylebone in 2020 in partnership with Mexican Chef Santiago Lastra, following 3 years of development. In May 2021 we opened the bar downstairs, KOL Mezcaleria. KOL has been recognised internationally as one of London’s best restaurants, with Santiago Lastra winning GQ Chef of the Year 2021, and KOL winning La Liste Best New Restaurant, Europe. KOL achieved a Michelin Star in February 2022, which it retained in 2023. KOL was also recognised at no. 23 in the World's 50 Best Restaurants in 2023.

In March 2022 we opened Lisboeta on Charlotte Street in partnership with globally renowned Portuguese Chef, Nuno Mendes. Lisboeta is Nuno's love letter to Lisbon, the city he calls home. Lisboeta was awarded One to Watch at the National Restaurant Awards 2022 and features in the Michelin Guide.

Our team is shaped by best-in-class individuals who share a passion for hospitality. We’re a social group, not afraid to take risks and push boundaries, and most importantly, we believe in our people. If you’re interested in joining our team, we’d love to hear from you.
