When you leave the cinema or theatre, or after enjoying a long day out, there’s nothing quite like sitting down to a late meal with friends or family, especially on weekends when there’s no rush to wake up early for work.
But how easy is it to find a restaurant that stays open late?
To answer this, we delved into reservation apps to identify the cities where booking a very late dinner is easiest. By analyzing the dinner reservation calendars of over 4,400 restaurants in 89 cities worldwide, we noted the last seating times for each restaurant at weekends and ranked these cities based on the median value of the last seating or last food order time.
In Bucharest, the last seating time (or last food order) was on average 22:00, one of the highest in Europe. It was similar to the last seating time in cities such as Paris, Istanbul or Belgrade, and higher compared to other capitals in Central and Northern Europe like Vienna or Budapest.
