100 Cities Project: Melbourne | Dinner with New Friends

About

When was the last time you did something completely spontaneous? Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. That's right, you sign up, and we book the restaurant. We know life can get busy. Don't forget to spend time making new friends locally! Build your community with us while supporting locally owned businesses.

Each outing takes place at a different restaurant. These dinners are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation via Resy, Opentable, or other sites. The pin on the map is not the location but a placeholder Eventbrite gives for the city, since we dinner is held at a new location.

This micro-event is intended to be for 4-6 people. If the evening you signed up for does not hit the minimum number of signups, please be open to joining us on another night with a fuller group. Check out our feature in Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

How does it work?

After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message. We'll stay in touch with you leading up to the night of the dinner. Expect a Final Details email the day of.

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases. A paid ticket simply makes you more committed to actually showing up, plus a membership.
