People Editorial Guidelines Published on May 8, 2020 03:47PM EDT Photo: Willem Velthoven We're all wondering what dining out will look like in the coming months, and one restaurant in Amsterdam has quite the audacious idea. Mediamatic ETEN is currently in the process of installing quarantine greenhouses or "Serres Séparées" on the waterfront outside their restaurant to give diners the option to easily social distance during the coronavirus pandemic. The individual pods allow two to three people to dine together intimately while isolated from other restaurant-goers. As of now, the classy restaurant is only testing the candle-lit, four-course vegetarian dining experience and limiting service to family and friends of staff as they wait for permission from the government to re-open. Additionally, all upcoming reservations are sold out.

"Soon, we'll offer really nice plant-based dinner in our greenhouses on the Amsterdam water side of the Oosterdok." According to Reuters, waiters at Mediamatic wear gloves and "transparent face shields" to prevent the spread of COVID-19. They also use long boards to serve diners their meals, and the greenhouses are set far apart from each other to ensure minimal contact between customers.

The Dutch restaurant scene is closed to the public until at least May 19, but the Netherlands' restaurant association KNH has said that even if at that time they are allowed to reopen, capacity will be limited and restaurants must have safety precautions in place. Fortunately, it seems that Mediamatic will fit the bill when it comes to appropriate measures.
