A pop-up restaurant in Sweden will serve solo diners only. The promise and premise is no interaction with others, and only one person per day will be served.
dinerRasmus Persson and Linda Karlsson are the couple responsible for the unique concept. Located in Värmland, roughly 350 kilometers from Stockholm, the restaurant, or the restaurant's single table and chair, more accurately, is situated in a lush meadow.
Karlsson notes Sweden has issued recommendations, not flat-out restrictions, around social distancing practices. "We welcome all, no matter what financial situation you are in. The price of the menu is up to the guest," says Karlsson, who, along with Persson has experience in the hospitality industry -- she, front of house; he, back of house.
Still, not all restaurants have embraced the practice of the solo diner. Karlsson is optimistic that Table For One will further lessen any lingering social awkwardness surrounding the solo diner:"I have had a dream about it being socially acceptable to dine by yourself, and maybe now we are getting there?"Joel Söderbäck creates the May Fruit, a non-alcoholic drink that will be served at Bord For En, the new pop-up restaurant in Sweden.
