3D-printed food: First high-end restaurant to open in the Netherlands later this year

Smink's interest in 3D food technology is not new. As the first Ambassador of byFlow, he has been experimenting with the 3D Food Printer for almost a year – creating new recipes, giving demonstrations and supporting byFlow’s research and development. His cooperation with the company gained lots of publicity especially after Horecava 2018, where they presented together with the practical applicability of 3D Food Printing and achieved major success.

For his restaurant in Wolvega, Smink wants to focus on creating a special experience for his guests. The preparations’ process will be visible, a lot will be prepared on the spot at the table and the 3D Food Printer will have a prominent place. No wonder they make such a good team with byFlow – their mission to change the way how food is prepared and experienced seems to fit perfectly.

Smink will receive the key to the former ING building in the center of Wolvega on May 1. In mid-May, the name of the restaurant will be announced and the website will be launched. From that moment on, guests will be able to make reservations for the restaurant and experience the culinary delights that it has to offer.

 

Back in January, FoodIngredientsFirst published an article on Verstegen, one of byFlow's partners for the Horecava 2018, which provides 3D food printing Fillings for their 3D food printer, the Focus. The first available flavor of the paste, beetroot and cardamom, was developed in collaboration with Jan Smink, byFlow's ambassador and top chef (winner b’Ocuse D’or, working for 3 star Michelin Restaurant De Librije).
