If you're not used to eating out alone, explore patisseries, dessert parlours or cafes which have to-go options and see more solo walk-ins than restaurants.

If you're looking to meet new locals or other tourists, curated brunches or tasting menus are ideal for solo travellers.

If you're uncomfortable sitting alone at a restaurant, bring a laptop, iPad or tablet as a distraction so you can watch a movie or entertain yourself

The wait staff, managers or concierges can have a lot of valid travel suggestions and leads for newer destinations. Most restaurants also tend to care more for solo diners.

Use your bag, umbrella or hat as a placeholder if you have to get up to use the bathroom or place an order.

Live music venues can be terrific venues for solo dining especially if you're not too used to it and don't want too much attention.

Choose bars that are accessible by local transport. If you're a first-time solo traveller, drinking at your hotel bar is a good idea
