Explain Solo Dining Culture and Etiquette by Country

You want to enjoy a proper restaurant, not eat sandwiches in the hotel room because eating alone feels exposing. This explains solo dining in your destination: how solo diners are actually perceived, the best seats, bar, counter, timing, and how to signal to staff you are happy as you are. Enough local knowledge to walk in and order without the self-conscious wince.
