I guess that it tastes like a sweet port but has a plastic like taste and feel to it that can only remind the brain of a raincoat, as it probably felt a bit thick and smooth and not the worst plastic but still plastic
I would so do this. I just love going with my husband to tastings because we intentionally get something different for each course so we can try everything
Girlie, you’re paving the way to normalize this for singles like me who want to go out, but don’t due to the fear of judgment!! Please keep doing this, normalize this for us!! 🙏💖✨
i work in hospitality. going to this kind of restaurants on your own is one of the best things you can do. a one-top is much more likely to be a critic in disguise, so they will often give out something extra or spend more time on your table chatting and making you feel welcome. all of this looked great!
I actually really enjoy doing things alone. Before i met my husband I used to go to movies, museums, and restaurants alone all the time. I treasure that time and dont feel sad about it like some might. Being comfortable with silence and your own thoughts is the trick i suppose. I didnt even have a smart phone back then lol.
When I went to Paris in October I spent 3 days with my best friend and then 3 days alone. I had a long list of vegan places I wanted to check out and besides like 1 I managed to make it to all of them and all of that including the sightseeing! I went to these mostly fancy places all by myself and yeah, eating alone still takes quite a bit of courage on my part, I wanted to go to these places too much, so I went on my own anyways. And tell you what, a) I wasn't always the only single eater and b) the food was delicious! It made up for the awkwardness.
I've come a long way with single outings, I used to feel very weird about going to the cinema alone, but turns out people do do that.
But somehow, being at a café alone is no big deal (it's a pretty common thing for people to do to be fair), but eating out alone? Yeah that takes me some effort. But on the flip side I've come to realise that you can actually get into busy places during their peak times when you're alone if they have a sort of bar space. I've gotten into my favourite ramen bar like this a few times now and it also helped me in my Paris food tour.
One time I went to an Italian restaurant with my friend and they have a sort of bistro vibe going on there. There was one man there solo dining, food finished, sitting there with his glass of wine and reading one of the provided newspapers. He looked so chill and unbothered, he's been my solo-outing strive ever since that day.
Boy, do I feel for you! Been there, done that to put it mildly. I dine solo regularly, often in upscale places, and the older I get the more careful I have to be. Loading up on bread is often the mistake even experienced diners make. These days quite a few restaurants will ask you if you want bread, and 90% of the time I will say no. I’m also all but done with wine pairings after passing out on a NYC subway after dinner at a 3-Michelin-star restaurant. I’m guessing you did better. 😂
Idk how wine pairings are supposed to work, but it feels like it should be one glass for every 3 courses, or something like that. I love that you're going out to these places as a solo diner! It seems so liberating, it's kind of inspiring. I'd like to work up the nerve to go out as a solo diner myself
I used to eat at restaurants alone all the time when I traveled for work. Most times no one cared but one time a very rude guy with his date had to shame me publicly by talking really loud to his date about why anyone would eat alone & trying to come up reasons why something must be wrong with me just bc I was eating at a solo table in the middle of the restaurant by myself. I was laughing to myself bc of his behavior all the while knowing my meal was paid for by my employer while he had to pay for his.😂

Oooo
The only right way to taste and drink anything, is by putting it in your mouth however way you’d like. 👍
I’ve watched this and I’d still make the same error. 🙃
GIRL, you lost me at "a sweet dense, jellied meat🤯
I love that you did this!! It’s inspiring me to do the same! Looks absolutely incredible
Enjoys fine food and has the confidence and self assurance to do it alone. I think I might be in love 😍

oooh Aléofane Crozes-Hermitage and Domaine Weinbach! Very nice. They spoiled you and got u drunk lol
I feel like this is the first tasting menu I’ve seen that actually looks worth the price
Looks amazing. We did a 12 course tasting menu. You think ita easy but wow, tasty but I needed stretchy trousers. Its not for the weak 😂
Girl, did you get all those chocolates??
Or was it just a few of them?
Worth it.

Oh noooooo she ate the bread. Meanwhile I've been living off bread all week. Jesus the privilege is gross.
That's the dream for me personally. I'm looking forward to this kind of solo date one day
I love you, the bread always does me in too 🙂

Girl, you’re lovely. I would do the same mistake with the bread. 😂
They have the weirdest plates 😂

i was astonished by the price point. that's honestly not bad at all

You were an absolute VALKYRIE! Unashamed and unapologetically enjoying this experience. BRAVO.
You are out living your best life. ❤
I would definitely try for that price ❤
I plan on doing this for a birthday one day. Treat yourself!
She switched to a totally different shade of red by the end–the wine pairings must have been delightful!
Omg your German and French pronunciation was so good!!
I always go out for dinner alone, I love it! I don’t film myself as I’m not a content creator but I enjoy the experience nonetheless
Honestly, yes. I would do this. By myself.
It's sounds delightful!
Eating the whole bread is so real. Who wouldn’t 😂🤷♀️
Fucking gross actually …that food is shit what the hell…damn snobs
Super cringe
Super cringe why would you eat cheese grapes and cumin and not puke

I enjoyed this so much! I'm sure wherever Anthony Bourdain is, he'd be chuckling at this 🫶🏾✨️🌿😆
You are my heroine❤

I would rather eat alone than pay for someone else 😭😭

Just why?
Anyone who advocates for this is just sad inside.
Stop encouraging bad behavior, especially if it's just because it makes you feel better.
This has nothing to do with "facing your fear".
Be more attractive, get hitched.
'Nuff said.
