dinette

Small eating space

A dinette is a small dining area, typically a nook or alcove in a kitchen or apartment too small for a full dining room.

The term also refers to a compact table-and-chairs set designed for such spaces: The breakfast dinette seats four.

In recreational vehicles and boats, a dinette is a booth-style seating arrangement that often converts to a bed.
