How to choose dishes for summer verandas?

This month the most bohemian season in the restaurant industry has begun in Moscow - the season of summer verandas!

With warmer days approaching, terraces are becoming the main popular seating area for cafes and restaurants. After all, even the most bored average person cannot resist the temptation to enjoy a cup of coffee, a cocktail, a glass of wine or a meal.

But let's face it: no one wants to see plastic dishes when they imagine themselves as the main character of "Emily in Paris."

So, let's dive into the world of elegant and durable tableware and serving pieces that are sure to set the right mood for any outdoor restaurant setting.

First of all, let's talk about plates and saucers . These essentials are the foundation of any fine dining experience—and it's important to get them right.

Bone china and aluminum-infused porcelain are the most sought-after materials for any discerning restaurateur today because of their elegance and durability. Ceramics will fade into the background in 2023 along with glassware .

Among the favorites of the large public is first-class porcelain from the German brand Bauscher . The elegant Mozart series is chosen for its curving tactile patterns on the surface of the plates and its immaculate white color.

But you can find a similar design from the Italian Tognana - this brand has firmly established itself on summer terraces not only in our country, but is also regularly included in the TOP 3 popular suppliers in Europe.

It is important to remember: if the budget is small, it is better to focus not on the original design of the dishes, but on the quality and replenishment of the products.

To ensure such stability, we recommend paying attention to the Chinese brand Kunstwerk . Only the lazy do not know about Chinese porcelain, but literally everyone can be convinced of the quality of the products: the brand regularly releases new collections of porcelain, developed in accordance with the most important world trends.

Next - glasses.

Crystal glass glasses are the best choice for a glamorous and sophisticated dinner. They reflect light beautifully and add luxury to any table. If you crave more tagging in photos on social networks, be sure to take care of the quality and beauty of your glasses.

The main trend among Moscow restaurants in 2021-2023. became a glass of the “Mod” series from Rona . The non-standard shape allows you not only to enjoy every note of taste in the drink, but also to highlight the style and interior of the establishment. We have already talked about this luxury brand several times and were not at all surprised when sales of glasses in this series increased during the summer veranda season.

Another example of a calculated choice based on trends and quality is the Nude brand, beloved by designers and restaurateurs. The thinnest and strongest old fashion glass of the Finess Grid series perfectly transmits light and is suitable for serving water or refreshing drinks while guests are waiting.

Just as low-rise jeans are coming back into fashion, the timeless bar classics of the 20s are coming back again and again. In 2023, the “America 20x” series from the famous Italians – Bormioli Rocco – is at the peak of demand. This collection turns any meeting over a glass of wine or cocktail into a Gatsby-themed party.

When it comes to outdoor dining, it's all about style and elegance. By choosing luxurious and durable tableware and serving items, you can create an ambiance that is sure to impress even the most discerning of guests.
