A trend you can probably expect to see in Dublin, Cork or Galway soon enough.
A London restaurant has designed a menu entirely in emojis.
The Little Yellow Door in Notting Hill is a long-standing pop-up that deals in different world cuisines, depending on whoever the chef in residence is at the time.
Guests are asked to send their orders in using WhatsApp, with all food and cocktails spelled out only in emojis.
Owner Kamran Dehdashti, 34, said: “We like to embrace technology and we thought this could be a cool way to engage with our audience, get them to WhatsApp what they want to eat, and we bring it to them. Emojis are now really part of everyday conversation.
“When we first opened we pioneered doing all our bookings by WhatsApp. The reason being that if you were going over to someone’s house, you’d probably text or WhatsApp them.”
Some are easy enough to work out, but there are a few challenges in there.
“Buffalo chicken wings with crudités and blue cheese sauce, that takes a little bit of working out. But that’s the whole point — it’s fun. Worst-case scenario, you can always ask the waiter,” he told the London Evening Standard.
