Coffee and cakes at the docks, treats from the trunk of a van, a six-course dinner
in your living room
– what does your own ideal restaurant look and taste like? The more fun the concept, the more happy customers it will attract. Quirkiness is not, however, the main aim – just try to think of a restaurant that you personally would love.
Location
is key. In the summertime, favorite spots have included parks, courtyards and street corners. In the winter, Restaurant Day lovers have gathered in homes, offices and other indoor spaces.
When you have picked a place and planned the
menu
, sign up your restaurant for our listings. Come up with a snappy name that sums up your concept, decide on opening hours, and fill in other details (you can also edit these later). Your own social media channels (e.g. a Facebook event) will help spread the word further.
Please note that all restaurants with a clearly commercial, political or religious aim, or restaurants linked to existing commercial brands, or advertising a commercial space or a business, will be removed from the service.
Restaurant Day
is based on
spontaneity
and
volunteering
. If you have questions regarding running a restaurant, we suggest you strike up a conversation on the
Restaurant Day Ambassadors Group
, which is followed by other restaurant keepers. There you will find up to date information, and we encourage everyone to share their experiences.
Please note that this website serves solely to gather and share information on listed restaurants. As a restaurant keeper, you are personally responsible for all actions related to running your one-day restaurant.
