This week, Julie Bindel (The Guardian) asks a provocative question in Table for One. Is it the best, most relaxing way to enjoy your meal?
She quotes Food Writer Clarissa Hyman who confesses to often dining alone (for work or pleasure) and states that "The quality of a restaurant can be determined by how lone diners are treated, so if you are put in a dark corner and ignored, standards are obviously low."
If you are on a business trip, it can be a relief to have some quiet time and do as you please rather than trying to accommodate others taste.
In my time working in restaurants, I saw many single diners treating themselves, following their inspiration and leaving pleased.
Call it a Zen moment?
