Eenmaal is just like any other excellent restaurant

but totally unique in one thing: it only has tables to seat 1 person.

Where you might usually go out to eat with company, at Eenmaal you are your own company. It is the perfect place to dine in pleasant solitude.

The cook then asks guests to select what they find appealing and creates a meal with those ingredients.
