dinettes

Small eating areas

Dinettes is the plural of dinette, a small dining area or the furniture set that goes in it—typically a compact table with matching chairs.

Dinettes occupy kitchen corners or apartment nooks where a full dining room isn't practical: The apartment had a tiny dinette off the kitchen.

A dinette set usually seats two to four people.
