A recent analysis of OpenTable data reveals that reservations for parties of one have grown nationally by 85 percent since 2015.
The findings indicate that the stigma surrounding dining solo may be starting to lift and that guests are eager to savor special culinary experiences alone. Data shows the majority of solo dining reservations are booked for dinner (43 percent) followed by lunch (30 percent). Canadian solo diners also book the majority of their tables Monday to Friday (78 percent), saving the weekends for dining with others.
