The space was created [without any corners or angles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4space) to allow the walls, ceiling and floor to envelop guests in a ribbon of white marble and oak. The dining table was built in a horseshoe shape, seating just ten people at once and draws attention to the exhibition kitchen. Adding a large golden dome to the centre of the room creates an illuminating experience on each dish from the [20-course tasting menu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omakase-restaurant). The entire menu is influenced by Catalonia, with a strong and expansive global fare to make up a cohesive cuisine that blends delicately together. The Somni Restaurant is located in Beverly Hills, giving all guests a one-of-a-kind experience of beautifully plated modern dishes and contemporary takes on traditional cuisine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 34% | 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) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Multi-sensory Dining Experiences:** Creating immersive dining experiences that stimulate multiple senses can enhance customer satisfaction and engagement. - **Unique Interior Design:** Innovative interior design concepts can create a visually stunning atmosphere that enhances the overall dining experience. - **Culinary Fusion:** Blending diverse culinary influences can create unique and cohesive menus that appeal to a global audience. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** Hotels, resorts, and restaurants can capitalize on multi-sensory dining experiences to attract and retain customers. - **Interior Design:** Interior design firms can offer their expertise in creating unique and visually enticing dining spaces. - **Culinary Arts:** Chefs and culinary professionals can explore fusion cuisines and innovative plating techniques to create new dining experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Augmented Reality Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awaken-your-senses.md) - [Conceptual Fine Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-fine-dining.md) - [Multi-Sensory Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johnnie-walker-blue-table.md) - [Multi-Media Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-3d-journey-through-time.md) - [Sweet Multi-Sensory Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brixjourney.md) - [Multisensorial Dining Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feeladelphia-by-philadelphia.md) - [Artistic Dining Destinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daniels-room.md) - [Multi-Sensory Cocktail Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellboy-bar-berlin.md) - [Earthy Warm Ambiant Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse-1.md)
