Ed Sheeran’s New Notting Hill Restaurant Is Not Good Says Jimi Famurewa | Eater London

"Housed in a lived-in, personal, laid-back space that generates a beer-loosened party atmosphere, this celebrity-backed bar-restaurant initially impresses on vibe alone, but the short, waywardly Mediterranean menu largely underwhelms. Baby artichokes arrive as pale, oil-steeped nubbins lacking briny freshness; mushroom risotto is a claggy, unappetising puddle made worse by a mealy hazelnut garnish; and gnarled lamb meatballs are only marginally better, offering a slightly repeaty, home-cooked comfort rather than refinement. While the owner’s fame will draw crowds, the place needs a few consistently decent dishes to turn first-timers into regulars." - George Reynolds
