Eenmaal, a restaurant that only allows one person to dine in the Netherlands

In todays society, there is often a myth about dining in restaurants. It always feels weird and embarrassing to eat "alone". I am afraid that other people will guess like this: "Is eating alone because of interpersonal relationships?" Is it bad or having no friends that makes me look lonely?" It seems that you need someone to accompany you every time you eat, so that you won't be considered a lonely person.

However, so far, this myth has improved a lot. In Amsterdam, two well-known designers, Van Goor and Vandejong, jointly created a restaurant called "Eenmaal", which completely changed the dining model, because Eenmaal is the first restaurant in the world that allows only one person to dine at a time. As the name suggests, in Dutch, Eenmaal means one meal at a time, and there are only 10 seats in the store (of course, only one person can sit at a table), so... it is almost impossible to come in groups to chat and eat in the store. thing.
