Gill's Sushi Is the Hottest Restaurant in Town
Harry Styles' fictional restaurant has its own website
Visit the site of Gill’s Sushi restaurant and you’ll find a menu of delicious offerings. The cocktail selection includes a lavender sunflower spritz, a flaming cosmo, the tentacle fizz, a cherrycrab martini, and some foamy fruit juice that’s booze-free.
Dishes are an interesting assortment of frutti di mare: starfish sticks, seahorse tempura, squishy squid (good for sharing), a seashell salad, prawn heads, sea cucumber sashimi, a bowl of tails, and a popcorn roll ($1 upcharge if you want shimmery rice paper). There’s also the catch of the day, which seems to be a squid merman.
Gill’s Sushi also has a lounge with live music. Oh, and parties of six or more will be charged a 20 percent gratuity.
If you’re looking to book a table, there’s one catch: Gill’s Sushi exists only in Harry Style’s new video for his “Music for a Sushi Restaurant.”
In the video, Styles is a merman of sorts — part man, part squid. He’s found on the beach and taken to the kitchen of a restaurant — presumably to be turned into the daily special. As Styles sees the kitchen staff hacking away at various sea creatures, he thinks he’s next until the team discovers he can sing.
What happens is a parable about how fame can get to anyone’s head — including a squid.
Styles is a talented singer, a fashionista, and — it seems — a foodie.
Looking through his music portfolio, you’ll find a vast array of songs about and references to food. From the apparent “Watermelon Sugar” and “Music for a Sushi Restaurant” to “Just Keep Driving,” where Styles sings about moka pots, pancakes, and tea with cyborgs, and “Grapejuice” where love is replaced by a good vintage of wine.
And let’s never forget, "Adore You,” where Styles falls in love with a fish, saves her from the monger, and sets her free.
When Harry’s House was released back in the spring, Vulture’s Rebecca Alter attempted to eat every food reference noted.
Harry’s love of food has now evolved into its own restaurant concept.
I’m just waiting for the Gill’s Sushi pop-up.
