Restaurant with no tables or plates where food is served straight from the floor
Gok Wan recently hosted the launch of a new restaurant without tables or plates, where meals are served directly from the floor. This innovative multi-course gourmet experience, inspired by modern Asian cuisine, replaces traditional plates with a pristine vinyl surface right next to diners' feet. The restaurant, named FLOORS, has opened in Angel, Islington, London, offering adventurous food enthusiasts the chance to step outside their comfort zones and enjoy a truly distinctive dining experience. Instead of standard tableware, dishes are presented in protective casings made from natural, sometimes edible materials, artistically placed directly on the floor. The tasting menu includes delicacies such as lychee ceviche served in a chilled oyster shell, lotus leaf steamed meats with black bean-peppered beef, duck and oyster mushroom with black sesame mochi cake, fuyu sour cream, and an edible rice paper receipt. This bold concept was conceived by Bosch, who conducted a survey of 2,000 adults and discovered that while three quarters would never eat food that had fallen on the floor in a restaurant, 23 per cent would consider dining in a place where food was served off the floor if they could be sure it was properly clean. When posed with the idea of a "Floor Dining Experience," over two thirds respondents found it odd, even if they knew the floor was clear. Nevertheless, Bosch, who are responsible for the unique experience, remain hopeful that diners will feel differently: "This dining experience is all about pushing boundaries and reimagining what's possible. "With the right tools, even the floor can become the star of the dining experience. We're excited to challenge perceptions and bring a new level of cleanliness to unexpected places." Over one in 10 individuals admitted that they would consider eating food off the floor on a dinner date, as long as the infamous five-second rule was applicable. However, the majority of those quizzed said this was a definite no-no if you were in a restaurant setting. TV star Gok Wan confessed: "I'd eat most things off the floor – in five seconds – if I knew how clean the floor was, unless it was soup. "Many of us wouldn't eat food if it's fallen on the floor, especially in a restaurant – but personally, I'm not that fussy."
