- Missing restaurants while social distancing? You’re not alone. One restaurant in the Netherlands, though, has found a solution. Mediamatic ETEN, a restaurant in Amsterdam, is offering a four- (course) vegetarian menu for (diners) -- served to guests while they sit in their own personal quarantine (greenhouses). Right now, the (trial service) is only being offered to family and friends of staff, and all (upcoming) reservations are (sold out), according to the restaurant's website. Still, as many places begin to (loosen) restrictions on social distancing, this type of greenhouse dining could (take off). “It’s super (cozy), it’s nice and the food is delicious,” said one of the customers. Waiters wear gloves and face shields to (alleviate) any risk of infections, the restaurant confirmed to CNN. They also use long (boards) to bring dishes into the greenhouses to diners. While the need to integrate social distancing into your daily routine will be a necessary part of our life in the months to come, we are seeing many restaurants, shops and workplaces (come up with) great ideas for how to approach this delicate situation. The economic aspect is (unlikely) to be favorable for the situation, but this restaurant believes that doing something for the good of the community is much more (valuable) than doing something for its own financial benefit.
Corretto
Well done, my friend!
