From lip-smacking street food to that of mouth-watering desserts, exploring a variety of food is one of the best things for every individual. Apart from just trying new food delicacies, food trend is also an interesting aspect when it comes to exploring the food industry. Food trends are basically a particular theme or a particular delicacy being widely loved and followed. In 2019, there are many food trends that evolved and were widely followed. Here are a few of them.

Vegan delicacies

Veganism emerged as a major trend in India in 2019. From vegan cheese to vegan diet routines, everything was followed and accepted. Thus, the restaurants intended to incline towards the new concept and introduced several vegan dishes in their menu. These dishes include vegan pizza, vegan dosa to vegan drinks. This also brought the trend of soya milk and almond milk, as they were the most preferred alternatives to dairy products.

Themed-cafes

Theme cafes were limited to good aesthetic ambiences and different cuisines. However, this trend expanded further in 2019 with the themes being more realistic to more advanced. One such theme was the pet-themed café like the cat and dog café. This trend where you actually get to enjoy your food and play with your pet at the same time is one of the most unique themes that came in.
