"There are, of course, times when it’s a disadvantage eating alone – platters, dishes designed for two and sharing menus are never ideal. But there are actually some advantages too. These days many restaurants have counters, which regularly have an odd number of diners and an even number of seats or vice versa; so being a single diner willing and able to fill up that row can be a win for both customer and restaurant." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
