Jamie Oliver: The celebrity chef's first restaurant to open in France has been panned by customers

Jamie Oliver’s first eatery in France has been panned by customers who complained of “bland, overpriced” food and “undrinkable coffee”.

The celebrity chef, who has built a £150m empire from his restaurants, opened Jamie’s Deli at Nice Airport in July, along with a Jamie’s Italian.

But the venture has been criticised online by disgruntled travellers.

Outraged customers took to social media to criticise the new Deli’s “dry” food and “incompetent” staff.

One Twitter user, who tagged the restaurateur in his tweet, said: “Currently in your deli in Nice airport...food dry, food run out, food overpriced. No butter/jam for croissant. No happy at all.”
