Jacob Kenedy

The Italian phrase Bocca al lupo means "Into the wolf’s mouth, and is commonly used to wish somebody good luck. Luck is not something that chef and restaurateur Jacob Kenedy needs much of. After a stint at Moro, London, a fabulous North African and Spanish tapas restaurant; and a wonderful opportunity at acclaimed Boulevard, San Francisco, Jacob emerged an accomplished, creative and entrepreneurial chef. Jacob’s fascination with Italian cuisine led to his 2008 partnership with Victor Hugo, and the launch of Bocca di Lupo on to the London food scene, which it took by storm. It has a touch of glamour, but is a family business and a simple trattoria at its core. Guests can bring their dogs, perch at the counter, and feast on a range of beautiful small plates. This is humble, rustic, provincial Italian fare at its best. Jacob has created one of the finest restaurants in London, an honest dining experience, and a feast for the senses.
