A restaurant for me but we usually prefer enjoying family here for the relaxed atmosphere.

Picnic in a park, as long as it was a warm sunny day

Neither.
I prefer fish and chips two eggs and a mug of tea in a plain diner with a juke box playing 60’s hits.

That really puts me in mind of the old style Wimpy Bars.

I thought it was a Brit thing but it’s American too.

Given the choice, it would depend…the picnic is a happy time with my friends, but if it were a “one on one”, I’d take the restaurant until I got to know him a bit better.

Usually it would be a restaurant, but if the weather is nice and depending on the circumstances and the purpose of getting together, then a picnic would suffice.

Picnic in the park? No thanks. Sitting on the ground, no-back benches, or folding chairs where I have to lean forward to get at the food? Forget it.

Thank you for confirming my reason for not enjoying picnics - I thought it might just be me who finds sitting on the ground uncomfortable, so eating while sitting on the ground is something that I find unpleasant.

Picnic in the park is more to my liking.
With restaurants too much input to produce a single dish which is why eating out at such places is becoming prohibitively expensive.

And in the park you don’t feel obliged to leave a tip! :wink:

I think I’d decline both and just have the meat in an ordinary restaurant.

Fortunately nowadays I never have a problem finding vegetarian food to eat in the most basic of restaurants!
But then again I have very basic tastes.

So what’s a Fancy Restaurant? Google bot says:

  • High-Quality Food:

Fine dining restaurants typically use fresh, high-quality ingredients and may feature gourmet menus with creative and often multi-course meals.

  • Elegant Presentation:

Dishes are often presented artistically, and the table settings are meticulously arranged with fine china, crystal glassware, and silverware.

  • Impeccable Service:

The staff is trained to provide attentive and personalized service, often including recommendations on menu choices and wine pairings.

  • Luxurious Atmosphere:

Fine dining restaurants prioritize a sophisticated and elegant ambiance, which can include stylish decor, comfortable seating, and a generally upscale design.

I know the kind of place: Staff making you feel ill at ease, watching you eat. Pouring the wine when you’d rather pour it yourself. I don’t mind the small portions looking artistic. It’s the staff, grrrr.

I quite like oriental, bring a plate of sizzling prawns, a roast duck they can debone in seconds for you, then bugger off :laughing:
