Themed cafes are becoming all the rage in various parts of the world, and the Beauty and the Beast Cafe in Yokohama, Japan is one of the latest to be created. Mimicking the design aesthetic that's prevalent throughout the Disney film, the Beauty and the Beast Cafe provides guests with dishes all inspired by the film. The Belle Lunch, for instance, features an omelette that has been formed into the shape of the Belle character herself and her signature golden gown.
The Beauty and the Beast Cafe fits in well with other themed cafes that exist around the world that are all oriented towards creating an experience that brings fantasy to life. As consumers crave deeper, more immersive experiences we'll likely continue to see similar designs coming to light.
