At horecatrends.com we spot many national and international trends on a daily basis. We pick the most interesting ones to write about, the other trends we use in our weekly column ‘Trends we spotted this week’.

This week a ‘trends we spotted’ in summer vibes! With links to a number of Instagram posts including one with a frozen Aperol Spritz recipe that could sell very well at your outdoor dining space on warm days. And about the ‘High cocktails time’ on Saturday afternoon at FAK Utrecht.

The ‘Taste the world cuisine’ at Shell cafes in the Netherlands now sells a sweet BBQ bacon bun and a pulled BBQ chicken wrap from BBQ chef Ralph de Kok. If you buy one of them, you can also win one Komado barbecue from Big Green Egg and a cookbook from Ralph. Read how in the article!

Another special swimming pool for dogs, this time ‘Mutts & Martinis’ in Florida. Including a bar where the dog owners can enjoy a drink and even order food. Last week we wrote about a dog swimming pool in France, when will one open in the Netherlands?

A number of pop-up beach clubs from major brands, we previously wrote about Gucci in the South of France and now a pop-up from Louis Vuitton in the beach bar of the Mandarin Oriental in Bodrum. And in Malaysia there is a Dioriviera! This pop-up is at the Ember Beach Club of the One&Only Desaru Coast.

Last year we already wrote an article about Anya Hindmarch‘s special ice cream project, you can taste her special ice cream flavors again until August 27 at Anya Village in London. And a lesson on how to create butlers: the Hôtel Belles Rives in Juan-les-Pins on the French Riviera introduces a ‘Water Ski Butler’.

In Milan, the ‘Ichi Station sushi bar’ chain has opened a new location on Via Solferino, with a special design in peachy colors. However, we think the packaging of their sushi take-out is very cool! Maybe an inspiration for other sushi chains!

We came across an article on wellness in hotels and they mentioned pickleball, a combination of tennis, badminton and ping pong. They even mentioned hotels and resorts opened pickleball courts. As its courts are smaller it might be a great sport for the sportive grey brigade who used to play tennis.

For those travelling to Paris this September, Big Mamma returns with its 100% street food festival at La Felicità! On September 16 and 17. And also in France: at Mérignac (near Bordeaux) the first dog pool, Mouille tes Pattes, opened. We love the idea!
