Let’s be honest: Tuesdays are meh. They aren’t as well loved as Fridays or even Thursdays, they aren’t as mortally hated as Mondays, and they don’t take us over the hump like Wednesdays do. They’re just sort of there, and we somehow put up with them. But the truth is, Tuesdays are underestimated. They have one secret power: they make great days for eating out. Here’s why.

1. It’s so much easier to get a booking

Because Tuesdays are underestimated, everyone is so busy trying to whoosh through to Wednesday that they never grasp the opportunity to revel in the good life. Be a rebel and enjoy the experience of calling a restaurant and being told you can have nearly any table in the restaurant, at any time. Boom – winning! (Psst, there’s also a brand new way to book at your favourite restaurant: by using the free Eat Out app.)

2. Delight in scoring parking

Oh, the utter horror of having a ravenous appetite and a restaurant in spitting distance, but nowhere to park. For some, that means totally avoiding any eatery that doesn’t have designated parking spaces for its diners. Alternatively, head out on a Tuesday, when you’re sure to find a bay in half the time. You can thank us later.

3. You can hear yourself think

You know those intriguing spots into which you’d never dare set foot because they’re just too vibey and maybe, just maybe, you don’t feel quite cool enough? Try it on a Tuesday, when restaurants are generally quieter and, bonus, the service is likely to be better. You’ll get to try the hottest food trends without all the usual hubbub and judgemental glances, plus you get to brag about having eaten there. Nobody needs to know it was on a Tuesday.

4. A+ dinner with no cooking involved

Sometimes an easy mid-week meal is just too much effort. Might we suggest a no-cook mid-week meal? Tuesdays are sometimes rougher than Mondays, and last night you just barely managed to drag something out of the freezer and endure the effort of defrosting it. Why not take the night off and head straight from the office to dinner? You’ll be tucked in with a cup of tea come 9pm, plus…

5. You’ll have leftovers for Hump Day

Having a yummy leftover lunch that required zero effort on your part is truly the dream. Whether it’s pizza, pasta, a wrap, a delectable salad or even just a half-eaten brownie, your lunch will be the envy of the office and is guaranteed to get you through the day.

6. It’s Twosday at Col’Cacchio

The only thing more appealing than great food is great food at a discount. At Col’Cacchio, Tuesdays mean getting two for the price of one. Order any pizza or pasta off the menu and get another pizza or pasta free. (The least expensive dish is free.) The special is available for sit-down only and will run until 31 July 2018.
