After the hubbub of the holidays, we want to relax a bit? It is not mandatory to visit a health center, now you can also relax in the restaurant! Here are 5 ways to recharge your batteries while enjoying a good meal.
1- Light Therapy
Light therapy has been proven long ago. It not only helps regulate melatonin levels in the body, but also helps to fight against seasonal depression and sleep deprivation. Some restaurants have decided to bring the benefits of light therapy to their clients by installing light therapy lamps in the dining room or offering glasses of light therapy, also known luminette. This is the case of Yello's restaurant in Paris that provides Luminettes customers while serving organic cuisine.
2- Pedicure
A pedicure, it always feels good. In Seoul, Korea, it offers customers a pedicure done by fish restaurant Dr. Fish Cafe. After placing your order: coffee, tea, pastries, sandwiches, etc., you install both feet in a pool of water where fish go miniature feast on your dead skin.
3 Foot Bath
Nothing like to soak the feet in warm water after a hard day's work. Several restaurants in Japan invite their customers to dip their feet in a basin of hot water while they eat their meals. This is the case, for example, Ashiyu coffee in Kyoto.
4- Nap
Having swallowed a good meal, you happen to want to lie down a bit? The La Siest'in in Marseille, France, has thought of everything. The owners decided to install small parts away to allow guests to relax a little after well fed. Hammocks and sleeping pads are left at the disposal of clients. A perfect concept for those who want to rest on lunchtime before returning to work.
5- Spa
Here, we do not eat for a care, but we still dine on the robe; it's enough relax! Many spas now offer the same complex restaurant. You can sit between two treatments. This is the case of Snow Spa, located in St-Anne de Beaupré in Quebec City. A bistro serving fine pizzas, salads, paninis and gorgeous views of the river allows further relaxation. Le Nordik Nature Spa Chealsea also offers a restaurant with breakfast tables and a lounge.
The days when we ate on the run, make room in the era of détente. Exit stress, even at the restaurant!
