There's a great BahnMi Vietnamese Bread roll shop here in Christchurch that takes BTC and at every opportunity I take friends and family there for lunch. They make the best BahnMi pulled pork filled bread roll and Iced coffee. It is currently the only restaurant for hundreds of miles accepting BTC. It is fun to take people there and show how easy paying with Bitcoin is especially if they are skeptics, like most people I know irl. In my experience food and hospitality outlets that accept Bitcoin are tend to be well above average in terms of quality so always and especially when traveling I give them high preference. If we preference the currently very few BTC accepting bars and restaurants we are at least supporting those businesses and encouraging Bitcoin MoE utility to expand...and it is a great way of showing family and friends how capable LN has become.
Love that! I have a couple go-to's depending where I am. I tend to think food/dining does the absolute best with Bitcoin. Honestly not sure why, but I love it!

Agree on 100% food hospo being a great fit with Bitcoin- with food and bars there is a strong social and human element- sharing food is (or should be) a joy and paying with Bitcoin makes the whole thing feel more special - I have a theory that in food/hospo feeling and care are very important and that Bitcoin accepting venues are probably more passionate about what they do and it shows in their food/service...for most businesses to offer Bitcoin payment requires a level of commitment above the average imo. When I go to a Bitcoin accepting bar or food outlet I feel at home and among like minded people!

You hit it, I always notice things like that. If they care about one thing that not many people care about, that usually means they care about a lot of things. So far every place I’ve spent Bitcoin, has been great and would recommend to keep going back! I never thought of this theory until you mentioned it, so thank you!
