Miss Voon Promotion

We just recently hosted an international restaurant promotion at Gaustablikk, we had from neighbouring Sweden's Miss Voon restaurant for a visit. maybe not so international or exciting one may think, From our neighbour?
But Miss Voon is a well established restaurant destination in Stockholm, specialising i n pan Asian fusion food and delivering it at such a high level that it revamped our operation for a few days.
Specialised food and restaurant promotions have been an integral part of the cutting edge of the restaurant industry for many decades, i first came in contact with the concept in the early 1980's "and thats giving away my age". The early years were all about product and destination promotion especially within the expanding tourism industry. the destination concept was later expanded to include the "look at what we can do" big name chef promo with a handful of Michelin stars, black tie dinner, wine makers dinner, ect. Where we, working in the restaurant and  hotel industry could strut our stuff and nourish our ego's. These concepts are still in vogue but also have been joined by the guest expirience promotion offering something new to both the guests and restaurant team.
These successful latter day promotions are somewhat more relaxed and are seen both as a guest orientated marketing event for both parties and as a team building and training event.
Miss Voon with its new to us concepy ticked all the boxes for both our guests as well as out team, exposing many to new idea's, new tastes & new expiriences.

The following menu is built on Signature dishes from Miss voon in Stockholm or any of their franchise restaurants in Sweden.
