- “Experimental chef,” Pedro Passinhas, is launching a pop-up restaurant in Soho for London Design Festival: The “Off the Wall & onto the Plate” pop-up will feature a seven-course menu inspired “entirely” by wallpaper. It opens on 22 September and runs until 4 October in The House of Wallpaper by Graham & Brown at 19 Greek Street. The menu includes ‘sheet scallop’ served with slow cooked pork neck, metallic paper made from fresh oysters, and an edible wallpaper napkin amuse-bouche. Passinhas, said: “Cooking is an art form and a means of expression, and so is home décor. Bridging the gap between wallpaper and food was a challenge, but we’ve managed to translate the patterns and textures onto the plates while keeping the menu delicious, locally-sourced and seasonal.” Bookings can be made here:
