Bord för En (Table for One) is a new "COVID-proof" restaurant concept in Sweden that shares dinner for one in an unconventional way. The sit-down dinner experience involves a sole table and chair in the countryside, plus drinks and a three-course menu that's delivered by a rope and basket that comes directly from the home kitchen window to the guest. The concept from couple Rasmus Persson and Linda Karlsson is set to open in just a few days, sharing a safe way for people to enjoy dishes made with locally sourced produce directly from their garden.
Knowing that many people are going through difficult times financially, the couple is opening up the solo dining experience up to people based on a flexible payment model.
