This project is in collaboration with KERB, the renowned London food hall operator and small business incubator, and Claus Meyer, co-founder of the hugely-influential New Nordic Cuisine movement and entrepreneur behind multiple global community-focused culinary schools.

With this week links to articles about among others FoodGPT by AI Palette in Singapore, a one-of-a-kind generative AI tool, tailored explicitly for the complex F&B landscape. And an initiative to help revitalize historic downtowns and creating the American Dream for owning your own business: Own Your Own.

At BotBar Coffee in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, robot Adam serves the coffee! And in the Netherlands and Belgium the wines are of very good quality, 35 gold medals at the Wine Inspection of the Low Lands.

 Chef Jonnie Boer of the Dutch restaurant De Librije (***) is the new ambassador of Urban Cultivator. They recently introduced ‘Librije Backstage’ and vertical farming by Urban Cultivator. And spotted in Paris, the GalBar. A crêpes and galette bar, which they serve in a scone.

Belgian startup Dripl raised 2.15 million euros of growth capital to accelerate their refillution. Their self-developed Refill Points have been offering a healthy alternative to soft drinks since 2021 and help companies reduce their waste and footprint.

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’.

With this week links to articles including a couple of them on reservation fees at restaurants in the hope that this will reduce the number of no-shows. In New York, more and more restaurants are turning to this system. Leonie van Spronsen recently wrote a blog about this subject. It’s kind of a double standard that lots of guests don’t want to pay a restaurant fee while we pay, without any problem, in advance for tickets to Taylor Swift.

A unique combination; a Latin-American fine-dining experience on a London train, the Supperclub.Tube. Also in London: the Vagabond’s Wine Bars where you can choose from as many as 140 varieties of wines!

Aperol sorbet floating in prosecco, sounds delicious! It’s served at Il Terrazzo in department store Nordstrom in NYC. The sorbet is made by il Laboratorio del Gelato. And also in NYC –  the hottest new sushi bar is hidden in The Vault of Saks Fifth Avenue. Great idea, an omakase inside a small corner of a retail outlet?

A touring mini club, Fandangoe Discoteca invites people to dance out their grief! Created by artist Annie Frost Nicholson and it will come to the Netherlands as well. And International Hotel Capital Partners is the new owner of Hilton Garden Inn Leiden Hotel.  

Located 4.5 hours from NYC, in Watkins Glen, is the world’s smallest diner, which is also appropriately named World’s Smallest Diner. And we read about an Instant Noodle Factory in Queens, they serve 88 different instant noodles options with 30 different toppings.

The popular experience, Dining in the Dark, is returning to Amsterdam on August 31, this time it takes place at the NOMAD aan het IJ. And we love the design of the Costa Rican Suitree Experience Hotel with treehouse style rooms.
