Dining alone in public places can often be uncomfortable, but if you visit Eenmaal, the experience will be quite different as it's a spot exclusively for solo adventurers.
According to the local language, the restaurant name 'Eenmaal' means 'alone' or 'by oneself.' All tables inside are designed for just one person to dine. Eenmaal was established to break societal stigma around solo dining, becoming the sole place where you can have a solitary yet comfortable dinner. This restaurant began operating in June 2013 in the capital city of Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Your solo dinner will start with a cocktail, where each guest selects their own table and enjoys the dishes. Diners are encouraged to stow away their mobile phones for a more immersive dining experience and are invited to read books or magazines. The restaurant features 10 tables, and all furnishings (tables, chairs, tablecloths, flower vases, etc.) are kept minimal to ensure diners truly relish their meals.
Marina Van Goor expressed that the emergence of Eenmaal 'exceeded our expectations, taking the concept of dining alone globally.' This initiative is not confined to the Netherlands but has also expanded to Brazil, China, and India.
'Eenmaal has garnered support from media and diners worldwide. One review noted, 'the restaurant has transformed what was once a quirky, uncomfortable situation into something much more comfortable and enjoyable.' Dining alone will be an inspiring experience when you visit Eenmaal,' she further added.
