Wine season is officially here 🍷, but what we’re pouring is looking a little different...

Palates are shifting towards lighter, fresher, brighter styles. Think electric whites with razor sharp acidity, rosés that are designed for drinking year round, and reds best served cool.

Alcohol by volume is mellowing too. Wines under 12% are increasingly sought after, with boundary pushing brands like (at 5%) rewriting the rules.

Chillable reds are having their moment; Gamay, Zweigelt, Frappato and cool climate Pinot Noirs are championing fresh, fruit forward juiciness and drink-me-now appeal over heavy tannins and stained lips.

Then there’s ‘destination wines’, the ones that reel you in with their charming story, sense of place, iconic winemaker or cult vineyard status. These labels are turning casual drinkers into intrigued collectors.

And from home shores, Britain now boasts 238 registered wineries supporting our desires for local, low milage, cool climate appeal.

Cheers to less weight, more stories, and longer sipping!

Restaurant plateware tells stories 🎨
From instantly recognisable icons tied to a single place, to innovative pieces crafted from waste materials or shaped by local artisans, the right plate can transform dining into theatre.

It influences how we perceive flavour and quality, connecting us to a chef’s vision before the first bite.

‘White rounds’ may still have their place, but the table scapes have become far more exciting, with shining examples from:

From silk scarves to collectable pyjamas, hospitality brands are turning their merch into lifestyle statements.

The concept may not be entirely brand new, but it’s taking over our socials and media articles as we see more and more iconic hotel logos embroidered on oversized tote bags or cool minimalist caps.

You no longer need to check into or to wear its cult tee, or stay at to get their collab silk scarf, and x pyjamas and beach tote all tell the story of travel, enabling belonging without saying a word

Looking back on our journey with , we set out to create a range of culinary experiences that felt unmistakably Jumeirah, yet fresh and bold.

After all, this property had famously embraced innovation, and its dining spaces were no exception.

The Fore is a clever 4-in-1 dining space; immaculately executed breakfast operation by day, and four distinct dinner concepts by night:

🍜 - An elevated Izakaya experience that’s lively and fiery, rooted in ramen and Robata, with an intimate nightly Omakase.

🍛 .dubai , by Chef Manav Tuli - A graceful journey through heritage Bombay cuisine, with authentically bold flavours and a subtle nod to Victorian opulence.

🌸 .dubai - A sun-drenched beauty reminiscent of the 1980s Côte d’Azur, where light Mediterranean influences, from Portugal to Italy, interplay with French joie de vivre, and seafood and spritzes gently flow.

🥢 .dubai - A sophisticated sister to the three concepts, buzzing with energy and tempting all with luxurious takes on East Asian dishes made for sharing.

November has us craving comfort food, and also happens to inspire Episode 1 of our new series: Iconic Signatures - Comfort Food 🍜

More than a best seller, a true signature dish becomes a ritual for the diners, and a legacy for the brand.

Often, the secret lies in its’ beautiful simplicity - being timeless, comforting, and delivering far more than meets the eye.

We’ve rounded up what we believe are some of London’s cult favourites, old and new. These dishes keep guests coming back, again and again:

🍜 Shio Paitan at .ldn in Harrods Food Hall
🔥 Mixed grill (and the mezze) at

Brand mascots for the win! 🧸

Once upon a time, every brand had a face - a “lucky charm” (from the French mascotte). From pizzerias to café windows, characters helped people feel something.

And there’s science behind it: mascots make brands more memorable, more relatable, and more human.

Then came the age of minimalism. Kitsch characters were out, sleek wordmarks were in. But lately? They’re everywhere.

Brands are going all out on making us smile, be it through an animal, or an imagined character. A sure fire powerful branding device✨

Watching our client recent success has been nothing short of joyful.

Our brief was to “create an innovative collective of food and drink stories the likes of which Dubai has never seen.”

And so, these concepts came to life:
🌍 The Fore - a bold 4-in-1 dining experience serving breakfast to nearly 300 rooms, with each identity within - , .dubai , .dubai , and .dubai - standing as a destination in its own right. A union of Japanese, Indian, Mediterranean, and Chinese corners of the world.

🇮🇹 - a ‘postcard from Venice’-worthy modern Italian classic.

🛥️ - a sophisticated, club style restaurant for those staying, visiting, or mooring their yacht at the hotel.

Each concept was built with its own brand identity, menu, tableware, service style, and tone of voice, yet all remain unmistakably Marsa Al Arab.

One of Gorgeous Group’s favourite projects to date, and a proud collaboration with an incredibly talented team.

Breakfast is having a moment. Once dismissed by ‘serious’ chefs, morning service is now their playground, we’re talking £70 lobster Benedict’s and £42 wagyu croissants. At often booked out by locals and tourists seeking that Michelin star approach at a more pocket friendly price, it’s their busiest shift. UK breakfast is the fastest growing dining occasion, up 14% on last year, fuelled by morning meetings, Instagram appeal, and better value. From viral Turkish eggs with caviar or truffle, or their weekly chef’s special - letting the whole team take part in the fun to iconic bacon naan, we’re all craving that “start the day right” ritual. AA Gill said it best: “Breakfast is everything.” ☕️🍳🥐🥓

Trends may come and go, but one cuisine is always ‘in voga’ 🇮🇹
With over 11,000 Italian restaurants across the UK, and growing by 16% since 2022, it’s clear we’re obsessed. As a nation pasta lands on our plates at least once a week, and Italian consistently ranks as our most-loved cuisine. From supermarket isles to Mayfair hotspots like the new NYC import , the never ending queues at or the thrill at snagging the last table _london from Pizza Express to the iconic , Italian food has woven itself into British life like no other.
Perfectly balancing comforting familiarity with the desire for discovery as increasingly we get exposed to the variety from across the 20 regions.
It’s not just dining. It’s a love affair, it’s a devotion. 🍝

Dinner Collabs (of 4+ hand dinners), after being a huge hit this summer, are set to be sticking around 🍽️

Sure, some may feel like PR box-ticking, say no more. But the great ones spark creativity, challenge perspectives, and introduce your palate to new worlds…
