ED Sheeran forked out a cool $6000 on food and drinks at a much-loved Brisbane restaurant.
The British superstar and his entourage dined in a private room at Gambaro Seafood Restaurant last night ahead of his two sold-out shows at Suncorp Stadium.
According to a source, the party of 10 ate a meal of barramundi and prawns while sipping on Penfold Grange, which cost about $1000 per bottle, with the bill totalling about $6000.
Staff at the venue sang the musician’s praises, saying he was “really nice”.
Sheeran, who is set to perform at Suncorp tonight and tomorrow night, also took time to snap a selfie with Gambaro Group managing director John ­Gambaro.
Gambaro shared the picture on his Instagram account, calling Sheeran a “top bloke”.
“Great to have Ed Sheeran at Gambaros tonight,” Gambaro wrote alongside the shot.
“What a treat. Top Bloke.”
When contacted by The Courier-Mail, Gambaro did not want to reveal specific details about Sheeran’s order but said they served him “fresh Queensland seafood”.
“He came in with a group of friends and was very polite,” Gambaro said.
“What was amazing was that he took the time to speak to all the waiters and people coming through and he was very engaged and very humbled.
“It’s very easy to see why he’s a superstar — he was excellent (to deal with).”
Gambaro Seafood restaurant has become a celebrity favourite over the years with the likes of Orlando Bloom and Manny Pacquiao dining there in the past.
It comes after Sheeran rewarded diehard Brisbane fans camped outside Suncorp Stadium with a meal that even catered for their dietary requirements.
A handful of fans with freestanding tickets began camping out at the venue on Saturday in the hope of nabbing positions as close to the stage as possible and, on Sunday night, Sheeran and Frontier Touring had pizza delivered to the growing camp ground.
