As we approach the end of the year, there are exciting times ahead at Planet. The first week of December will see part of the team in Reykjavík, diving into a thrilling new project that we can’t wait to share more about. But first, we’re starting off with a few days in Dubai – reconnecting with old acquaintances and building new business relationships in a city that never fails to inspire. #PlanetFoodConsulting #NewProjects #GlobalAdventures #RestaurantInnovation #FoodiesUnite #GlobalFoodies #FoodConsultingExperts #CreativeConcepts #DubaiBusiness #ReykjavikBound #PassionForFood

"When Design Runs the Show (and Why It Shouldn’t)" We’ve all seen it – a restaurant with jaw-dropping, over-the-top décor. You walk in, and it’s all glitz, glamour, and Insta-ready moments. Velvet drapes, neon lights, and chandeliers galore. There’s even a staircase that leads nowhere. But then you sit down, and suddenly you’re asking yourself: “What’s the concept here again?” Here’s the truth: Looks matter. A striking interior will get people talking, but when the décor’s louder than the menu, it’s time to take a step back. I’ve seen restaurants with enough sparkle to make a magpie jealous, but without a concept to match, it’s just window dressing. All that velvet and marble means nothing if the experience falls flat. The bottom line? Your design should lift your concept, not bury it. A viral interior may bring in the crowds once, but a genuine concept with thoughtful design keeps them coming back. Why blow the budget on a chandelier that could power the national grid if what you need is a space where people feel welcome enough to stay? The fix is simple: start with the concept. Make sure every design choice speaks to the heart of what your restaurant is about. Whether you’re going for cosy neighbourhood café or sleek fine dining, your space should support your story, not drown it out. After all, people don’t just want a pretty space – they want an experience that feels authentic to your brand. Nail that, and the design will speak for itself – without needing to shout.

The team picked a great day to visit some of the top restaurant south of the river.
