Before making the plunge into an entirely plant-based menu, the establishment was known for its animal meat steaks. Now, it is gaining recognition for its animal-free steak dishes. On the innovative menu, diners are treated to items like 3D-printed steaks from Isreal's [Redefine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fully-meatless-menu) Meat, as well as the meaty Juicy Marbles filet mignon. Additionally, the vegan steakhouse will be among the first to serve Redefine’s Tenderloin and Striploin. For those who want a taste of it all, there's the Land and [Sea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrate-by-celtic-sea-salt-sticks) sharing platter, complete with everything from vegan salmon steak and shrimp skewers to fish fillets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Plant-based Restaurants:** The success of The Queen Inn Pub shows the potential of fully vegan menus to disrupt traditional carnivorous dining experiences. - **3d-printed Food:** Innovation in plant-based meat alternatives like Redefine Meat's 3D-printed steaks could transform vegan cuisine and challenge traditional meat industry practices. - **Veganuary Awareness:** The annual campaign has helped mainstream veganism and presents an opportunity for businesses to develop or promote plant-based products and services. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The Queen Inn Pub's success highlights the potential of plant-based menus to disrupt traditional dining experiences and create innovative dishes and business models. - **Meat Alternatives:** Companies like Redefine Meat are developing new technologies and products that could revolutionize the meat industry and provide healthier, more sustainable alternatives. - **Eco-tourism:** Businesses in the travel and tourism industry can tap into the growing demand for plant-based dining options and vegan-friendly accommodations to attract a new demographic of eco-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vegan Mushroom Steak Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wagamama.md) - [Marbled Vegan Ribeye Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/misteak.md) - [Meatless Steak Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-pie.md) - [Seitan-Based Vegan Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-steaks.md) - [Plant-Based Halloween Steakhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-cannibal-steakhouse.md) - [Juicy Plant-Based Steak Cuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-plantedsteak.md) - [Prepackaged Meat-Free Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-steaks.md) - [Collaborative Meatless Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fully-meatless-menu.md) - [Grab-and-Go Meatless Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-no-steak-slice.md)
