According to the research by Uncover app, despite being a nation of food lovers, it seems that Londoners are suffering from Repetitive Restaurant Disorder when it comes to dining out, with a huge 98 per cent of us likely to regularly return to the same restaurant time and time again.
Whilst in the midst of a restaurant boom that’s seen more than 147 eateries open their doors in the capital last year, a recent survey commissioned by same-day restaurant reservation app Uncover, reveals that 19 per cent of us have as little as two restaurants in our repertoire and a staggering half a million of us eat at the same restaurant every time we go out.
It seems this reluctance has been born from the challenges diners face when trying to book a table at a new eatery, with 64 per cent of restaurant goers saying the reason they stick to their favourite is because they always get a table, or are worried that they will have to wait if they go elsewhere. Most tellingly perhaps, more than 150,000 of us stick to the same restaurant simply because we fancy the sexy waiting staff.
It appears women like to spice things as they’re less likely than men to visit the same restaurant when they dine out, while men are twice as likely to eat out more than three times a week when compared to their female counterparts.
