What products do restaurateurs choose in Germany and France?
The German and French gastronomic markets are among the largest and most demanding in Europe. High culinary culture and attention to every detail related to serving dishes mean that restaurateurs carefully select tableware, glassware, and cutlery. They are increasingly choosing Fine Dine tableware, appreciating its quality, durability, and favorable price ratio to European standards. The FineDine brand, which has been involved in exports for years, has been closely monitoring these trends.
Germany - functionality and modern design
In German casual dining restaurants, practicality reigns supreme. The most popular are plates made of high-fired white porcelain or stoneware - these materials are chip-resistant, easily stackable, and oven-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe. German restaurateurs ensure that their tableware withstands everyday wear and tear and remains aesthetically pleasing for years. Fine Dine offers shallow plates, deep plates, high-rimmed plates, and bowls that meet these requirements. The trend for intense colors and matte glazes is also growing. Plates in shades of graphite, green, or blue, reminiscent of natural ceramics, add character to even simple dishes. The fine dining segment is still dominated by delicate white porcelain. Chefs choose elegant yet expressive shapes such as those in the Fiord and Nordic collections, which provide a neutral backdrop for artistic compositions.
France - art de vivre and mix & match
The French are famous for their love of art de vivre – the art of living, which also includes the way of serving meals. Even in casual bistros, the casual chic style is popular: a simple form combined with elegance. Collections inspired by nature are very popular – plates with plant motifs, organic textures and embossed decorations. The mix & match, or combining different tableware shapes and colors into a coherent whole.
In French fine dining establishments, we see a return to the classics with a modern twist. Restaurateurs eagerly choose porcelain with a handcrafted character – subtle decorations, wavy edges, and shiny accents emphasize the uniqueness of the dish. At the same time, sustainability is playing an increasingly important role: materials must be durable, natural, and produced responsibly. Fine Dine porcelain, created with environmentally friendly care, fits these expectations well.
