I would love to find a restaurant with "reasonably sized plates." Most places serve ridiculous two-person portions, and out of some Catholic guilt-laden upbringing (kids are starving in Africa etc.) I feel compelled to not leave anything on the plate and have a bad time as a result. I would rave about a place that kept portion sizes down.
Another bonus is it would be more practical to also have dessert after the main course. In practice I usually just end up ordering an appetizer as the main course at the cost of some awkwardness with the server.
- prawn 10y agoAnother idea is that you order your meal and one option is to have 3/5ths on the plate and 2/5ths packaged to takeaway. No awkward "can I have a doggy bag?" for a container of the scraps you favoured least. Even though many desserts are made ahead of time, in Australia they're often very expensive ($15-18) and so something I almost never order.
