The menu is contemporary, offering [Asian-inspired small plates and sushi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobby-bar). Aside from its expertly crafted cuisine and its obvious ties to stardom, the Lucky Cat restaurant sets itself apart with another main feature — its [interior design and ambiance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fifteen-east). Unlike many businesses that take on a vibrantly uplifting aesthetic to capture the attention of consumers, Lucky Cat seeks to defy it with "an array of moody tones" and a dim-lit atmosphere that makes it close to impossible to take a bubbly photo of one's food. The interior of the restaurant was proudly curated by London-based design studio AfroditiKrassa who looked to be "subtle and classic, not too shouty." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Moody Restaurant Interiors:** Restaurants are embracing dim-lit and subtle interior designs, creating a moody atmosphere that defies the vibrant aesthetics of traditional eateries. - **Celebrity Chef Dining Establishments:** More dining establishments are leveraging the star power of celebrity chefs to attract customers and generate buzz around their menus and experiences. - **Asian-inspired Small Plates Trend:** The popularity of Asian cuisine has led to a rise in restaurants offering contemporary small plates and sushi as a way to cater to customers' diverse preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Restaurant Design:** Design studios and interior decorators have an opportunity to create unique and captivating restaurant interiors that deviate from the traditional aesthetic, such as the moody tones of Lucky Cat. - **Celebrity Chef Marketing:** Marketers and PR agencies can leverage the reputation of celebrity chefs to create hype and promote dining establishments, generating increased footfall and brand recognition. - **Asian Fusion Restaurants:** Restaurateurs can capitalize on the popularity of Asian cuisine by offering contemporary small plates and sushi that cater to customers' desire for diverse and flavorful dining experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Soaring Celebrity Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uks-highest-restaurant.md) - [Salon-Like Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-gattopardo.md) - [Old School Glamorous Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carlotta.md) - [Warm Persian-Inspired Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dishroom.md) - [Warm African-Inspired Dining Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketch-restaurant1.md) - [Earthy Palette Fine-Dining Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logy.md) - [Elegant Restaurant Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elegant-restaurant-interior1.md) - [Blue-Tinged Restaurant Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taste-of-dadong.md) - [Lantern-Dangling Steakhouse Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aragawa.md)
