Food Ink, the world's first 3D-printing restaurant, opened in London this month offering diners the chance to taste 3D-printed food. The pop-up joins Shoreditch’s quirky restaurant scene for a limited time only, and offers customers the opportunity to dine using 3D-printed utensils while sat upon 3D-printed chairs.

During the day, guests can enjoy an array of snacks before trying the 3D printers and pens for themselves, before tucking into an innovative multi-sensory nine course taster menu developed by Joel Castanye of Michelin-starred El Bulli and La Boscana, priced at a cool £250.





Despite the hefty price tag it certainly provides an interesting insight into how 3D-printing technology is being used and offers a sneak peak at what the future of what this technology may bring.

Although Food Ink claim to be the world’s first 3D-printing restaurant, last year in London a pop-up named ‘3D Printshow Kitchen’ also served a futuristic menu specialising in 3D-printed food.
