Eating Light Dinners - Tapas Bars thriving in Aussie Cities

There are three main reasons for the proliferation of bars and small corner eateries serving light meals. They are especially popular with professionals, yuppies and students in the city.

First off, post GFC, the economy  is taking a long time to get back on track is one reason. Diners don't splurge on expensive dinners especially on weekdays when they socialise or entertain. With unemployment figures creeping up, every dollar saved for rainy days count.

Secondly, many friends and co-workers I know are trying to eat less, eat healthy and look better. There you have it.

Thirdly, young people nowadays prefer a less formal setting to talk and catch up.

These are likely reasons why tapas are getting very popular.

At a RSL club, I had 3 tapas dishes, bread and drinks; felt adequately full and satisfied.
