Finding a place to eat that is plus size friendly can be a challenge, but it’s definitely worth the effort. After all, who wants to spend their time worrying about whether or not they’ll fit in at a restaurant? In this blog post, we will discuss 5 things to consider when looking for a plus size friendly place to eat. We’ll also provide some tips on how to find restaurants with good reviews from other plus size people!
When you’re looking for a plus size friendly place to eat, the first thing you should consider is the chairs. Are they sturdy? Do they have arms? Are they big enough to accommodate your body? A quick look at their Instagram and you should be able to see what type of seating they have!
Another important consideration is the bathroom. Is it big enough? Does it have alternatives if you can’t use the main bathroom? The last thing you want while enjoying a delicious meal out is not being able to use the bathroom like everyone else. When looking for bathroom sizes our top tip is to find local restaurants, then do some digging to find out what their bathrooms are like. If you can’t find the information online, a quick call ahead is always a good idea!

If you’re travelling and you’re not sure where to find restaurants, try searching for ‘location + restaurants’ on Google. For example, if you’re going to Dubai you would look for Dubai restaurants.
Also, take a look at the doors and whether or not they’re plus size friendly. You may find that some places have really small doors, especially if you’re eating in older buildings. If you’re plus size, you’ll need to make sure that you can fit through the door without any problems, so make sure you’re doing your research beforehand.
Another thing to consider is the amount of space there is overall. Is there a lot of space to move around or will you be bumping into lots of people when getting to your table? Plus size people need to have enough space to move comfortably, so this is an important consideration, especially if one of your main worries is drawing attention to yourself.
Top tip: if you’re worried about walking to your table, ask for a table closer to the entrance. This way you’ll be able to get there quickly without having to pass too many people.
Finally, take a look at what other plus size people think. Does the restaurant have positive reviews from other plus size people? Are the staff members rude or plus size friendly? These are important factors to consider when choosing a restaurant. A great way to find out what others think is to take a look at Facebook groups. All you need to do is search the restaurant or cafe you’re visiting and hopefully, you’ll be able to find any discussions relating to it. If not, you’ll be able to start your own discussion.
