I'm wondering what people did to spend time during the Middle Ages, in Europe especially. We often hear about how the Middle Ages were a dark time, and I learned that this is mostly a misconception. So I'm wondering, what did people do to spend the time, for example were there proper restaurants (not like taverns but actual restaurants with waiters and menus etc), and did people go to the theatre to watch plays before the Renaissance?

Thanks for your answers!
