Almost two-thirds (63%) of Irish adults have cut back on dining out due to rising living costs, while 77% would be willing to dine earlier if restaurants offered special offers, according to new research commissioned by First Table and conducted by Opinions.ie. The findings highlight a significant shift in Irish dining habits: dining out remains a valued social experience for Irish consumers, but value for money is an increasingly important factor when deciding where and when to eat out. 'Conscious Of Value'"The findings show that Irish consumers still want to enjoy dining out, but they are becoming much more conscious of value and looking for ways to make their money go further. The impact appears particularly pronounced among those aged 35-54, with seven in ten saying they are eating out less than they did previously. The findings suggest consumers are becoming increasingly strategic about when and how they dine out, while continuing to seek value when choosing restaurant experiences.
