New to Melbourne, or starting from scratch again now that everyone’s got partners/kids?
Our Communal Dining events are for people who are hungry for more… deeper convos, good company, and a life that actually excites you. No boring small talk. Just good food and great people who are on the same page as you.
Think of it as a shortcut to your ideal friend group - curated tables, just enough structure to get you out of your comfort zone, and the kind of conversations you wish every dinner party had.
Your ticket includes:
✨ Personalised hand-matching so you're seated with people you have things in common with
🍷 Two drinks, one on arrival and one with your meal
🍽 An INCREDIBLE Latin American feast you won’t be able to stop talking about
💬 Custom conversation questions to help you connect over what you actually care about
🪩 A vibey room full of potential new friends on the same wavelength
Save yourself months of going to random meetups and having dry convos - we’ve designed this event for rich, intentional connection in every moment.
Tickets close 2 days in advance to allow for matching by hand ✨
-
YES! This for everyone aged 30-45
-
When you book in, you’ll answer some questions which will help us match you for the first round - you share a meal together with your curated group, then for round 2 we swap tables so you can meet different people. Afterwards, we head to a bar where you can meet the rest of the attendees too!
-
The matching is just ONE part of the whole experience! Different things work for different people and we've filled the entire room with lovely people who want to make friends. You might love the matching, or maybe you'll naturally gravitate towards people throughout the other parts of the event :)
-
Absolutely - in fact we highly encourage coming solo as you’ll make SO many more friends this way. This whole experience is designed for people who don’t know anyone here, and everyone else will be on their own and in the same boat!
-

Chef’s sides
YES we can cater to dietaries!
-
Absolutely! Just make sure you mention your dietary requirements in the dietaries section when you book and we will make sure you are looked after.
-
Some are new-to-town guests, or those looking for a more wholesome activity that's not just drinking. Many already have friends but they've moved away, are at a different life stage or feel like their interests no longer align, so they’re keen to make more like-minded friends to add to their circle!
-
We ask that you arrive ON TIME so you get the most out of this experience. We had designed this event so you start creating connections from the moment you get there. If you arrive late, it means you miss out on some of the crucial bonding moments with your new friends and can impact the other guests’ experience, so to respect the group, we will not be allowing late arrivals beyond 30 minutes.
