Immersive dining

Why more restaurants are serving up a spectacle

Immersive dining has become something of a culinary craze in recent years.

As well as serving food, restaurants are providing multi-sensory experiences for customers; transforming their dining spaces into places where people can escape.

In this edition of The Food Chain, we take a look at immersive dining establishments around the world, exploring why customers are increasingly choosing to be entertained while they eat, and asking 鈥� is this dining trend a bit of a fad, or is it the future of eating out?
