In early September 2026, several European venues announced updates to their culinary and service offerings. In Berlin, the EUREF-Campus began a gastronomic realignment managed by Klüh Catering GmbH, which introduced new culinary concepts and a digital payment system via a dedicated app to replace the previous Campus-Card. Concurrently, Vienna’s Palais Coburg announced the September 7 launch of Restaurant Prunkräume, an all-day dining concept led by chef Lewis Emerson that blends Austrian and British traditions.

By October 2026, the focus in Vienna shifted toward large-scale culinary festivals. The Vienna Future Food Week, running from October 1 to October 10, featured over 30 events centered on sustainability and contemporary food culture. This was followed by the GENUSSWELTEN event at Palais Auersperg from October 16 to 18, which focused on specialty products and direct interaction between producers and consumers.
