Experimental Restaurant of the Future serves as an observatory platform, a unique blend of research and practice aimed at something as common as eating and drinking, where experiments are made with new food products, equipments, preparation methods, self-service and service-delivery systems, research kitchen, advanced sensory laboratory as well as audio & video recording systems allowing close observation of consumer behaviors and understanding and predicting food choice.

The platform focuses on studying deeply the influence of physical and social contexts on eating and drinking behaviors. It will contribute to the future development of multidisciplinary research, studying themes such as nutrition, food and ageing consumers, eating habits of obese people and disabled children, food and nutrition education for children and teenagers etc.
