FKA Black Axe Mangal

There is nobody quite like Lee Tiernan. Unapologetically authentic, fiercely creative and utterly unpredictable, Lee has built a cult following among chefs, critics and food lovers alike, and his restaurant FKA Black Axe Mangal is a dining experience unlike anything else in London.

Described by Jay Rayner as having “go-faster stripes”, Lee’s food doesn’t so much push boundaries as gleefully ignore they ever existed. Shoulder-to-shoulder seating, a heavy metal soundtrack, bracing flavours and garish tablecloths — every visit feels like a spontaneous party that somehow also happens to be exceptional cooking.

Trained at the legendary St. JOHN, where he spent a decade before leading Bread & Wine as head chef, Lee launched Black Axe Mangal as a pop-up in Copenhagen in 2014 to worldwide acclaim, before opening his permanent north London home. His cookbook, published by Phaidon in 2019, was the fastest selling of that year.

Bold, brilliant and completely one of a kind. Expect the unexpected…
