Nowadays restaurants are not only expected to be places to have great or good food in a nice ambience, with prompt service to back up.
Many discerning guests are now expecting an eating out experience in a restaurant or in a café to be a part of their cherished future memories. Sections of the discerning guests have also become more experimental and hence are seeking innovative dimensions in their eating out experiences.
We can see that one of the supply side responses to these growing guests’ expectations and/or their demand towards experimental approach in the food service industry is the presence of a good many number of themed restaurants and cafes. This trend is not only true for many developed western countries, but also for post-modern urban India.
One can also successfully argue that theme restaurants and theme cafes were launched first and then their demand was created in the market. But whatever may be the reason there is no denying the fact that there has been an impressive growth of theme restaurants and cafes in India’s postmodern food service industry, during the last decade or so.
Fascinating Ideas

Take the case of The Black Pearl in Bengaluru. This restaurant is built like a pirate ship with pirate props like mannequins of pirates, masks, etc. all over to take you deep into the thrill inspiring world of pirates, which were and are part of many a children’s growing up years. The ambience of this restaurant can not only be loved by the kids but may also ignite the latent childhood among many of us adults, especially among those who have grown up reading stories of pirates.
