La Cave des Fondus, which opened on December 10 in an underground location in NYC, serves [wine and beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/placemat-hightop-table) in baby bottles. Owner Jacques Ouari modeled La Cave des Fondus after a fondue restaurant in Paris, Le Refuge des Fondus. New York is known for offering [unique culinary experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chateau-royale). At [Peanut Butter & Co.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hteao-tonys-chocolonely), diners can choose from a variety of unique peanut butter sandwiches such as Cherry Cheesecake, and at Duvet patrons eat on beds instead of at a table. But La Cave des Fondus certainly challenges peoples’ perceptions of behavior that is acceptable in public settings. This is probably not the best spot for, say, a first date (hello awkward!), but for those looking for a unique dining experience, La Cave des Fondues will deliver. And you don’t even have to cry to get a bottle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Unique Dining Experiences:** Restaurants offering unconventional ways of dining, like serving wine and beer in baby bottles, can disrupt the traditional dining experience. - **Public Behavior Norms:** Challenging societal expectations of acceptable behavior in public settings can create disruptive innovation opportunities in the hospitality industry. - **Nostalgia-inspired Marketing:** Incorporating nostalgic elements, such as using baby bottles as drinkware, can attract consumers seeking novelty and unconventional experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food & Beverage:** The food and beverage industry has room for disruptive innovation by creating unique dining experiences that challenge traditional norms. - **Hospitality:** Challenging societal expectations of behavior in public settings can disrupt the hospitality industry and create new opportunities for unconventional dining concepts. - **Marketing & Advertising:** Nostalgia-inspired marketing tactics, like incorporating unconventional drinkware such as baby bottles, can attract attention and disrupt traditional advertising approaches. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Parent-Friendly Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidfresh-reserve.md) - [Bookstore Wine Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookstore-wine-shops.md) - [Overlooked Wine Bottle Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/an-a-to-z-di-vini-divini.md) - [Extra-Large Wine Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xxl-wine.md) - [Champagne-Paired Burger Tours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-tour.md) - [Absinthe Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adult-milkshakes.md) - [Baby Bottle Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottapals.md) - [Canine-Friendly Restaurant Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafe-villa.md) - [Anatomically Inspired Baby Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emulait.md)
