A restaurant in Sweden,Table For One,only serves one diner every time,just as the restaurant's name shows.It is owned by a Swedish couple, Rasmus Persson and Linda Karlsson. The restaurant lies next to the couple's home in a far village.

　　According to their official（官方的）website.only one person can dine at the table. which means the couple can give their full attention to one guest at a time."For us, the act of eating is an amazing experience,” Persson says. The diner, sitting in the field, will receive their food from the kitchen in the couple's home about 150 feet away by a basket tied to a rope. Every guest will have the pleasure of dining with themselves.

　　Each meal is made up of three courses(一道菜）made by Persson,along with some drinks.“We welcome all no matter whether you are rich or poor. The price of the menu is up to the guest,” says Karlsson. The couple has also chosen a pay-what-you-wish system in order to feed people who may be in trouble because ofCOVID-19.

　　During the COVID-19, the former professional chef(廚師），Persson,has been cooking for his wife's parents and serving them through the window. This resulted in the idea of Table For One. The couple is not doing this to make money. They say, "We want to avoid the feeling of being watched while eating.We all are facing difficult times and there are people who have lost their jobs, a loved one or even their mind. We want to do our best to make sure every guest has a respite from all the stress and difficulty in life.”The couple might make the Table For One larger in the future.
