Who Got Inspired?

New York Rooftop Restaurant

The owners of Ampia Restaurant & Rooftop wanted to give people the feeling that they were in their own world, so they could enjoy themselves without having to worry. They decided to apply the Serres concept to their new restaurant, on the rooftop of a building in the financial district in New York.

The Rose Garden in Chicago

The owner of the restaurant The Darling in Chicago's The Loop district, says she was inspired by a video by the BBC she saw about Mediamatic ETEN. She wanted to allow people to have 'a night out' again, all while the guests and employees can feel safe. Thanks to Chicago's "Open Street" programme, where restaurants could expand their terraces to the street, a beautiful Rose Garden could be created with 10 little greenhouses.

Dining in the middle of the British hills

Elsewhere in Europe, the idea of dining in greenhouses was a hit as well. Since July, five small greenhouses can be found in a meadow in the Cotswold Hills in the UK. They were placed there by The Scenic Supper, a new dining experience where people can eat in greenhouses while they enjoy the charming landscape.
