A restaurant offering "only tables for one"?
An extraordinary pop-up restaurant opened its doors in Amsterdam on July 4, 2013. ‘Eenmaal,’as the place is
called, claims to be the world’s first one-person restaurant.
“‘Eenmaal’ is a restaurant like any other restaurant, but one thing is totally different: you only find tables
for one person here. ‘Eenmaal’ is an exciting experiment for those who never go out dining alone, as well as an
appealing opportunity for those who often eat alone at restaurants”, explains social designer and initiator Marina
van Goor.

"We go out to restaurants not only to eat but to be in the world, not home alone. That's why no one wants
to be stuck with that awful table where you can't see or be seen. The trend now, especially in casual restaurants
is the communal table." S. Irene Virbila, Restaurant Critic - Los Angeles Times - September 15, 2011
