At horecatrends.com we spot many national and international trends on a daily basis. We pick the most interesting ones to write about, the other trends we use in our weekly column ‘Trends we spotted this week’.
This week a ‘trends we spotted’ in summer vibes! With links to a number of Instagram posts including one with a frozen Aperol Spritz recipe that could sell very well at your outdoor dining space on warm days. And about the ‘High cocktails time’ on Saturday afternoon at FAK Utrecht.
The ‘Taste the world cuisine’ at Shell cafes in the Netherlands now sells a sweet BBQ bacon bun and a pulled BBQ chicken wrap from BBQ chef Ralph de Kok. If you buy one of them, you can also win one Komado barbecue from Big Green Egg and a cookbook from Ralph. Read how in the article!
Another special swimming pool for dogs, this time ‘Mutts & Martinis’ in Florida. Including a bar where the dog owners can enjoy a drink and even order food. Last week we wrote about a dog swimming pool in France, when will one open in the Netherlands?
A number of pop-up beach clubs from major brands, we previously wrote about Gucci in the South of France and now a pop-up from Louis Vuitton in the beach bar of the Mandarin Oriental in Bodrum. And in Malaysia there is a Dioriviera! This pop-up is at the Ember Beach Club of the One&Only Desaru Coast.
Last year we already wrote an article about Anya Hindmarch‘s special ice cream project, you can taste her special ice cream flavors again until August 27 at Anya Village in London. And a lesson on how to create butlers: the Hôtel Belles Rives in Juan-les-Pins on the French Riviera introduces a ‘Water Ski Butler’.
In Milan, the ‘Ichi Station sushi bar’ chain has opened a new location on Via Solferino, with a special design in peachy colors. However, we think the packaging of their sushi take-out is very cool! Maybe an inspiration for other sushi chains!

High cocktails time on Saturday at FAK Utrecht
We spotted an Instagram post from FAK Utrecht about their High Cocktail Time. You can enjoy it there every Saturday between 13:00 and 16:00! You can book it as from 2 people via their website (link in the title). Among other things you will get, 4 cocktails of your choice, sushi, gyoza, trump prawns, beef & tuna tataki and edamame beans. We regularly have a discussion about what exactly you should post on Instagram as a restaurant, the beautiful pictures of your dishes or interior? Or are you going to show how it works in practice? We think the post of French Asian Kitchen Utrecht is a good example of the latter!

Pop-up of Louis Vuitton at the ‘Blue Beach’ of the Mandarin Oriental Bodrum
It’s popular to have a pop-up beach club by a grand mode brand, a couple of weeks ago we wrote about the pop-up Gucci Beach Club at Loulou Ramatuelle and now we spotted two other pop-ups. One of them is pop-up boutique and charming transformation of the ‘Blue Beach’ by Louis Vuitton of the Mandarin Oriental in Bodrum, Turkey. Inspired by Maison’s new ‘By the Pool’ collection, the store incorporates fresh tones and natural materials while the men’s and women’s clothing and accessories feature Louis Vuitton’s signature details.

A frozen Aperol Spritz | tip from the self-proclaimed CEO of Spritz season
Easy to make and great to serve at hot days! Check out the Instagram post of Join Jules below for the recipe. We’re going to try it at home! She has more cocktail recipes on her account. We don’t have many ‘frozen’-cocktails on the beverage menu’s yet in the Netherlands but we think a frozen Aperol Spritz might be a success.
