The statistic displays the results of a survey concerning frequency of mobile phone usage when eating in a restaurant with family or friends in Belgium in 2017. Participants were asked to indicate how often, if at all, they use their mobile phone when eating in a restaurant with family or friends. According to data published by Deloitte, the majority of respondents who took part in the survey rarely or never use their mobile phone when eating in a restaurant with family or friends. Roughly 25 percent of respondents never use their mobile phone during restaurant meals with family and friends, whereas about a fifth of respondents sometimes did so.
