What is the popular hour to eat out at night in your area?

Hi SummerChick, I'm jealous, we don't really have takeaway out here, it hasn't caught on yet.

Hmmm..that would be a great place to do business on dine out restaurants in there thea. Perhaps, you would like to venture into huh. :) Cheers!

Well SummerChick, unless you live in the village centre no one actually has a house number or address here and there are lots of very complicated winding roads that look no more than dirt tracks which lead to houses, which makes it pretty difficult to explain where you want your takeout delivered to. I'd say it would be pretty bashed up due to the roads, and stone cold, before it ever arrived!

Hi ausgc, 7pm is definitely very early for people to go out to eat but it sounds as if the people go to eat directly after work. Here the siesta hour is in the afternoon and people go back to work in the evenings, usually from about 6 - 9 pm.

Afternoon tea, cucumber sandwiches I presume, very English. Siestas are an integral part of Greek life, precious hours. Woe betide anyone ignorant enough to telephone during siesta hour. Course not everyone gets one as the tavernas and cafenions are open all day so they have to slave in the heat. I used to think going out to eat at 10 earliest was a bit odd but it makes sense to wait until it's cooled down. We stay on the beach till 8 then shower later to go out whilst the English tourists are decked out in their finery at 7.30 ready to eat out in the still broiling heat.

I've heard about siesta - I think it's really cool idea that I get have a time to rest and perhaps take a nap at the most sleepiest time of the day! Reason why restaurants get busy from 7 is simply because we have lunch around 1pm and would not have eaten much after then - we would starve if we waited longer... Some people do have afternoon tea around 3pm, but we usually only eat snacks, just to get ourselves going for rest of the work time.

yea my area eats pretty early,that's more or less right after work (first shift).

Hi scarlet woman, i always laugh when Gordon Ramsay opens the doors of Hell's Kitchen at something like 6 p.m. and all the people turn up so early all dressed up, it really is such a different way of life. Also they complain about slow service whereas here we just accept it as the Greek way.

Hi Scarlet-woman, gosh that is incredibly early to eat, that's only just past lunch time here. What a complete difference in cultures.

Hi akuler, sounds like leisurely dining hours there. I didn't realise that Malaysian youths followed English football.

Hi akula, I know nothing about football but i do believe that Greece had some major victory in football a few years back, Iremember being forced to watch it. And I do know the name of the best team, Panathiayicos.

English premier league is no 1 choice here compare to other European league. They always show it live especially when 'big' team played. I am supporter of Liverpool since mid 80s.
