Report Highlights

Consumers are moved to invest time, energy and money in fine dining by the desire to explore new cuisines. This motivation is about expanding ones personal knowledge, mastering new skills and learning about new cuisines. Manufacturers and retailers can capitalize on this by offering education and support to consumers.

The trend in restaurants towards more simple home-based food, less pretentious
presentation and more informal ambience is encouraging consumers to believe that they
can duplicate the experience at home. At the same time, some consumers are becoming
disenchanted with restaurants, as they can rush customers through meals and offer little privacy.

Today's consumers pursue better quality of life through better eating. For example, the Slow Food movement which emphasizes not only the importance of high quality ingredients but also the importance of fine dining in making life enjoyable, now has over 60,000 members across Europe.
