Coko Becker

Coko Becker is almost impossible to pin down – the itinerant Mexican is always too damn busy – but the planets have finally aligned.

Giving us a tantalising glimpse of what to expect from his upcoming solo opening, Coko joins us with a peach of a menu that’s the synthesis of his extraordinary culinary journey so far; eight years at Pujol**, where he rose through the ranks to lead arguably Mexico’s most influential kitchens, through to a series of high-profile collaborations in London with the likes of Tayēr + Elementary, Annabel’s and LUUM.

Rooted in Mexico’s rich culinary history, but humming with ideas that reflect London’s place as one of the world’s most diverse food meccas, Coko is coming in hot with killer creations like ‘Honey and parmesan esquites’; ‘Oyster, nam phrik phao, cacahuate garapiñado, coconut curry’; and ‘Scallop tostada, jalapeño, avocado, yuzu’ that are as vibrant as they are unique. 

Honouring the past, while embracing the present, Coko is a Mexican chef at the very top of his game.
