Blending intimacy with dynamic visual appeal, today’s most exciting dining spots serve up feasts of colour and texture. This engaging aesthetic especially resonates with Gen Z diners, who enjoy cosy ‘home away from home’ settings within which to sate their culinary cravings.

Romance is squarely on the menu with sensory-rich spaces that are immersive, inviting and cocooning.
