For the curious out there Beach Blanket Babylon or BBB is the longest running cultural satire musical of all times, born and bred in San Francisco. It's namesake in Notting Hill embraces the theme of pop culture on a chic, kitschy, opulent level. There is a lot to say about the design, but I will refrain from over verbosity and just state that it is indeed worth seeing. There is a lounge bar and a restaurant and the food is ... yes obviously overpriced but not bad in its essence. The gazpacho was very decent and the goats cheese tart had good strong flavours. The chicken was unmemorable but well cooked while seared tuna on chickpea purée, was indeed a marvellous idea, albeit of varying success as I would need a specialist to locate that purée on the premises of my plate. They should have said chickpea jus and left it at that. I liked that dessert and had space for it which was first. It was some sort of chocolate concoction that went down well will coffee.
Everybody must visit Beach Blanket Babylon, it is an exiting place, just don't come too hungry or too tight.
