The designers created a [peanut-shaped space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-red-tiger) with a book-ended long [teak counter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-tte-dor-restaurant) at one end and a main dining room at the other. The elongated space is covered in mirrors and sleek timber screens, using natural hues that reference a green, marble, whitewashed oak and solid teak tile palette. The chef decided to add only [seasonal menu options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plumbago-restaurant) to promote sustainable and fresh cuisine for both locals and tourists. Finishing off the new Plum and Toro restaurant is the outdoor terrace that expands to accommodate numerous guests at once while offering views of the river and sunset. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## 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 - **Luxe Elongated Restaurants:** Opportunity for creating high-end dining experiences with unique and elongated spaces, incorporating mirrors, sleek timber screens, and natural hues. - **Seasonal Menu Options:** Rise in popularity of sustainable and fresh cuisine through the promotion of seasonal menu options at high-end restaurants. - **Expansive Outdoor Terraces:** Demand for restaurant venues that offer expansive outdoor terraces with scenic views, providing a space for guests to enjoy the outdoors while dining. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality and Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for hotels and resorts to create luxurious elongated dining spaces that offer unique experiences for guests with high-end decor, seasonal menus, and expansive outdoor terraces. - **Restaurant and Food Service:** Opportunity for high-end restaurants to differentiate themselves through the design of elongated spaces, the incorporation of mirrors, timber screens, and natural hues, and the promotion of sustainable and fresh cuisine with seasonal menu options. - **Architecture and Design:** Trend towards designing innovative and luxurious restaurants with elongated spaces, mirrors, timber screens, and natural hues, as well as incorporating outdoor terraces to provide scenic views and enhance the overall dining experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Summer-Ready Luxe Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxe-restaurant.md) - [Brutalist Museum Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cantabrian-maritime-museum.md) - [Curvaceous Restaurant Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4space.md) - [Glossy Ceramic-Pillared Restaurant Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/town-restaurant.md) - [Tropical Brutalist Dining](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uchiko-miami-beach.md) - [Earthy Palette Fine-Dining Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logy.md) - [Design-Forward Omakase Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omakase-restaurant.md) - [Irregularly Shaped Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-red-tiger.md) - [Cinematically Designed Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daphne-restaurant.md)
