Mini-greenhouses, genius! At the art centre Mediamatic ETEN, restaurant, Serres Separees in Amsterdam has created beautiful mini-greenhouses for an unbelievable, private dining experience for their soon to-be guests.

For a quirky solution to social distancing, Fish Tables in the US has created bumper-car like tables to ensure there is absolutely no way that you can get within 4 metres distance from each other. What do you think about this one?

Use your noodle! Get creative and make your very own social distancing hats like Café Rothe in Germany. They’ve taken what most would consider a pool floating device, into noodle hats to ensure that their guests know how far apart they need to be from each other. This has definitely made the world’s head turn and we can see why.
How can you ever feel alone when your friends are made of cardboard? Five Dock Dining has set up a unique experience of the senses with cut outs of people at tables and the sound of chatter over the speakers to make their customers feel a little less alone when dining out. This concept has definitely created a buzz and we like it!
Re-opening your doors isn’t just about compliance, these venues have proved it’s about creativity. If you do something a little different, there’ll be paybacks in a big way when it comes to social media and PR now and goodwill in the long-term.
