Most of us missed the great outdoors. Who didn’t miss eating at peace in our favorite restaurant, right? Just enjoying the good food, chatting with your people and no COVID-19 to think about.

 

While outdoor sitting is already allowed in restaurants, we just mentioned how, most of us missed it – which means people are competing for that seat just like you.

 

If you don’t want to be part of the cue, an outdoor picnic might be a good option for you, we have listed down restaurants who are offering outdoor picnic kits or supplies to make it possible so you can give them a call and enjoy a beautiful picnic spread.

We want to make your picnic as safe as possible, so here are some safety rules you should follow:

 

  1. Bring a large sheet so you can place the dishes apart and you can still practice the mandatory 6-meter alone physical distancing rules.
  2. Keep hand sanitizer or alcohol handy.
  3. Bring serving spoons. This is to ensure that you won’t be dipping your used utensils in the food.
  4. Bring your utensils as well. It would be best to bring disposable or biodegradable paper plates. Don’t forget the paper towels to clean up afterwards.
  5. Wear a mask when you are not eating. Only remove it when you’re going to eat or take a sip of your drinks.

Enjoy your picnic!
