How old do you have to be to eat in a restaurant without adults?

Question

my friends and i want to go eat at a restaurant alone (well, without parents) and just hang out. we're 14 but i don't know how old we actually have to be.

i live in ontario by the wayy, i dont know if that changes anything.

Answer 1

As long as you got the money to pay for what you order, that is all that matters. There is no minimum age.

Answer 2

I went to eat  in the restaurant when I was 14 my friends were younger than me.

Answer 3

Well it depends if you can go out with out causing troble and of course you need to have money and be old enouhgt to take care of yourself!!!!

Answer 4

you just need to have money.

Answer 5

Call the restaurant and ask.  But I think 14-16 is old enough if you have the money to pay.  Make sure you leave an appropriate tip.  That would be a number 1 reason that restaurants do not like to serve to young people these days.  Just be mature about it, and polite to your server.

Answer 6

old enough to pay for it.

If you have the money, then you are ok.

Make sure you check the price of what you order since you are only 14.

Dont forget tax and tip need to be added.

Have fun

Answer 7

you need to be old enough to pay for the meal.

Answer 8

well, it depends. there are some restaurants where you have to be 21, but others dont care. so, call the restruant and ask them.

Answer 9

Just as long as you have money, and you're adequately  respectful to staff, property, and other customers, you'll be ok.  IF they try to deny you access, just tell them you have the money and you'll be respectfull and mature.  They won't have the right to deny you access to that restaurant.

However, if you or your friends start horseplay or food fights or very loud talking they could send you away.

Just one thing, they are not allowed to serve any alcohol to anyone under 19 years of age in the Province of Ontario, and they have the right to ask for i.d. proof of age  I F  you try to ask for alcohol.  You may have anything else the restaurant serves and they should not bother you for proof of age if it involves no alcohol.

Answer 10

As old as the restaurant requires, as long as you have your parent's permission, of course! ;P
