Are you someone who tends to overlook appetizers and go straight to the entrees? Pupus might seem indulgent, but they give you a chance to try some of the most unique dishes a restaurant has to offer. The next time you go out for dinner, consider the following reasons to save room for a few snacks at the beginning of the meal. 

Why You Should Enjoy Restaurant Pupus

1. Add Variety to Your Meal 

Whether you’re torn between different menu options or feeling adventurous, ordering pupus instead of a full entree lets you try a little of everything. Order a few small plates to enjoy the dishes you love or find a new favorite. If you’ve never tried a dish like oysters, calamari, or poke before, then a small serving can entice you to get a full-sized entree the next time you go out. 

2. Share With Friends & Family          

Dining out is a social activity, and what’s more social than ordering food for the whole table? Pupus encourage communal dining by offering something for everyone’s taste buds. Splitting the cost of small plates can also make restaurant dining more affordable. 

3. Complement Your Drink

A delicious appetizer is the perfect partner for a beer or cocktail, whether you’re grabbing drinks after work or catching up with friends on the weekend. Turn a quick, casual event into something more substantive by selecting a few bites to eat and finding tasty new food-and-beverage combinations. 

4. Curb Hunger 

After a long day, it’s common to want something to snack on while you wait for the main dish to arrive. If you’re not in the mood for soup or a salad, try pupus instead. They’re designed to satisfy your hunger without leaving you too full for dinner.
