Introducing the World's First 3D-Printing Restaurant

Adavanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, as sci-fi writer Arthur C Clarke once said and it would be interesting to see what he’d make of the culinary wizardry at a new restaurant where you can ask the waiter to print out your dinner, writes Clodagh Finn. 

Food Ink, a futuristic restaurant with branches in Barcelona and London, uses fresh food and natural ingredients as the raw materials for 3D printing to serve up what it describes as ‘edible art’.

The first of its kind in the world, the restaurant prints everything from cutlery to food and the chefs personalise their intricate tailored designs for customers.
