As venues gear up for Summer 2026, it’s clear that consumers want experiences. Whether that’s a feeling of simplicity and nostalgia, or new flavours, global influences, and playful desserts, the attraction lies in food and beverage that’s special - without the special price tag.
In most urban settings, consumers can access any type of food, but the appetite for familiar favourites is stronger than ever.
Toasties, soft serve, lamingtons and fried chicken are all examples of the kind of uncomplicated comfort food that appeals to customers across generations. They often evoke childhood memories, and they’re classics for a reason: they simply taste good.
Innovative venues are standing out by refreshing classic formats with unique ingredient combinations and creative touches. Think toasties with kimchi or a local jam, or lamingtons with a pistachio filling.
Well-known menu items with a twist always pique customer interest, so give it a try!
