In the age of self-love, therapy, and career-driven young professionals in their 20’s and 30’s, the service industry has seen an increase in the number of solo guests. Whether traveling for work, treating themselves because it’s Thursday, or sitting at the bar working on their next novel.
Take it from me, who’s spent time bartending in one of Montreal’s most recognized establishments: For bars, especially in this city, there aren’t many where you can’t pull up a seat order a fun glass of wine and some olives and have a great time either alone or shooting shit with the person across the bar.
For restaurants, however, the experience changes slightly: Solo dinners can feel lost sitting at amongst a sea of incredible dining experiences for parties, dates, and those irreplicable, spontaneous moments that make for excellent stories. There is a world of difference for the guests dining solo.
