About us

Welcome to Auckland Dining with a Difference! This meetup is for foodies and social butterflies who love exploring Auckland's vibrant culinary scene, from city to local suburban areas. Start your weekend off, on Friday nights, with unique dining experiences, such as trying out reasonable, unfamiliar cuisines to the extravagant and indulgent delights, to enjoying sit-down dinners at fellow members' homes or pot luck picnics in one of our awesome Auckland parks.
We believe that good food is best shared with good company, so let's come together, indulge our taste buds, and forge meaningful connections over delicious meals. Whether you're a local or new in town, join us for unforgettable dining adventures and an opportunity to socialise over dinner.
