late dining

After-hours eating

Late dining is eating dinner later than usual, typically after 9 PM.

The practice varies by culture—normal in Spain or Italy, unusual in much of the United States.

It may refer to restaurants that serve food late into the night: The hotel offers late dining for guests arriving on evening flights.
