Latin for 'I drink, therefore I am,' the restaurant's concept has a three part menu that is based after the three parts of a basic magic trick: the Pledge, the Turn and the Prestige. Each menu item was hand-picked to correspond with the bold design features of the restaurant, that has a retro 1980s feel. The art decor was all designed by Brooklyn-based [Home Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-studios), mixing popular influences from Vienna's architecture with new-wave French film posters. This one-of-a-kind new restaurant sets to make dining and drinking an experience, rather than a normal outing. Mixing modern and classic designs with a menu that has never been seen before has made the new Bibo Ergo Restaurant an instant tourist attraction. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Magic Trick-themed Dining:** Opportunity for creating unique dining experiences by incorporating the elements of magic tricks into the menu and ambiance. - **Retro 80s Design:** Growing demand for restaurants and establishments that embrace the nostalgia and aesthetic of the 1980s. - **Experiential Dining:** Increasing interest in transforming dining and drinking into immersive and interactive experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality and Tourism:** Opportunity for hotels, restaurants, and attractions to attract tourists and visitors by offering unique and unconventional dining experiences. - **Interior Design:** Demand for interior designers to create retro-inspired spaces that evoke nostalgia and appeal to customers seeking unique dining experiences. - **Culinary Innovation:** Opportunity for chefs, mixologists, and culinary professionals to explore new ways of creating menus and drinks that engage diners through themed experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Sensory Cocktail Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellboy-bar-berlin.md) - [Cinematically Designed Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daphne-restaurant.md) - [Transformative Cocktail Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-menu.md) - [Smart Mixology Speakeasies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barsys-speakeasy.md) - [Venetian-Style Eatery Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cicchetti-piccadilly.md) - [Transportive Cocktail Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prequel-co-apothecary.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Cocktail Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deja-vu-cocktail-menu.md) - [Blue-Toned Restaurant Lounges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agli-amici-1887.md) - [Old School Glamorous Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carlotta.md)
