Ikea has previously opened dining pop-ups in London, Paris, and Oslo, and this would just be an extension of the meatballs, mashed potatoes, chocolate cake, and stuffed chicken breasts people love to eat whether or not they need to actually shop for a new bathroom caddy.

Michael La Cour, Ikea Food’s managing director, says, "I firmly believe there is potential. I hope in a few years our customers will be saying, 'Ikea is a great place to eat—and, by the way, they also sell some furniture.'"
