15 Restaurants That Take Social Distancing To A Whole New Level

Leona Martinez

As parts of the world begin to ease lockdowns, dining in restaurants is allowed in several countries again. But to prevent the coronavirus from resurfacing, social distancing still has to be ensured. It's very sad that we can't freely and comfortably eat outside like before. Now, the world is no longer full of sunshine and rainbows, isn't it? No party up all night with buddies. Does that make you feel dull?
How can we call a mob of giant teddy bears swarming their usual cafe ‘dull’? Or having dinner with a bunch of curious mannequins staring at us from the next table? It's not boring. But it will make you a little bit creepy! In this way, these restaurants not only ensure a safe distance among customers but also create a warm atmosphere to help them feel less alone. Scroll down to take a look at the ridiculous but creative solutions that restaurants came up with during COVID-19.
