Newstalgia
PLAYFUL EXPERIENCES
The fun Newstalgia trend appeals to consumers emotions and helps them to escape the stresses of daily life. Childhood favourites are served in retro themed spaces, such as 1950’s style diners or 1980’s neon vibes. Chefs are also getting creative and playful with whimsical food presentation, like serving up in a school lunchbox or on cafeteria trays.
POP-CULTURE OF THE PAST
Restaurants use pop-culture icons from the past to tap into diners desires for nostalgia, such as 1970’s Barbie themed cafes or pop ups inspired by 90’s sitcom Saved By The Bell. Themed bars and restaurants pair storytelling with culinary creativity to offer memorable experiences and social-media sharable moments.
