Asian Fusions

The most popular food trend in new restaurant openings all around the world, Southeast Asian flavours remain a firm favourite in both the casual and fine dining sectors.

AN INTERNATIONAL FAVOURITE

Asian dining continues to captivate diners globally, and remains the most prominent food style we see in new restaurant openings. Amongst the all time favourites like Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese, there’s also emerging cuisines from Myanmar, the Philippines and Malaysia to satisfy diner’s who are curious about regional flavours.

The interactive and theatrical aspects of some Southeast Asian cuisines perfectly complement the current trend for interactive dining, such as Chinese hot pots and Korean barbecue

A BALANCE OF INNOVATION & TRADITION

Restaurants around the world serving the cuisines of Southeast Asia are innovating to meet modern diner’s needs, while staying deeply rooted in tradition. This includes more plant-based options using tofu, jackfruit and mushrooms, as well as focusing on the wellness trend with nutrient-rich dishes, served in tranquil spaces.

FOOD INSIGHTS

Throughout 2024, we continued to monitor the new openings and innovation within the global hospitality industry as the world got back to normal. We’ve seen the continued resilience that fuels the evolution of the food and restaurant trends and we look forward to the continuous growth of the industry in 2025-2026.
