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.
It is obvious that the table and chair arrangement of Eenmaal is not like that of an ordinary restaurant. Instead, it has independent seats. Although it is a small table, it is very unique.
“Because we are aware of the problem of dining alone, we want to break the impression that dining out is always in groups, so that you and I can fully enjoy our personal dining environment,” said designer Van Goor.
Nowadays, everyone has a smartphone, and their attention is on it at all times, let alone having such bad habits while eating; therefore, Eenmaal Restaurant will even ask diners in the restaurant to put down their evil wisdom Use your mobile phone, read a book or magazine, and enjoy your leisurely meal.

Since the opening of the first store in Amsterdam last summer, Eenmaal’s popularity has remained high, and it is now even more popular.
