Our story.Fast Fine Restaurant Group is a Los Angeles and Stockholm based hospitality and
lifestyle company with a growing portfolio of restaurants. Born in Stockholm and
Madrid, longtime friends Christian Lagerlöf and Benjamin Calleja established Fast
Fine Restaurant Group in 2017 after years of working independently. Their vision
was born out of a need to bring experiential, thoughtful and efficient concepts to
the Stockholm and Los Angeles markets and, eventually, all over the world.
With a passion for innovative hospitality, Christian and Benjamin have the ambition
of growing a world class team to disrupt the restaurant industry by proving that
style does not have to be sacrificed for value.
To this day, this emphasis on operational excellence and unique guest
experiences remains at the core of Fast Fine.
