About us

Food brings people together – it's a big part of many cultures, be it Indian, Italian, Polish or any other

We’re a small group of expats living in Lille, from different parts of the world, and we’d love to share our cooking traditions with you!

Each time, we’ll explore a different cuisine, cook together, and enjoy the meal we made. It’s all about good food, fun conversations, and learning from each other.

No experience needed – just come hungry and ready to have a good time!

    Event Detail
    This event is designed for introverts or people who hate "networking" but
    still want to meet others without being "high energy."

    The moment you walk in, you leave the loud world and small talks behind.
    You’ll find a outdoor garden space filled with warm light, cozy seating,
    and soft music—the kind of atmosphere that lets you breathe.

    With homemade refreshments and a cozy atmosphere, it’s designed for
    meaningful connection rather than just 'meeting.

    The Menu
    The "Home-Made" Snacks
    Baked Samosas: Crunchy pastry stuffed with spiced potatoes and peas, served with a fresh coriander and mint chutney.
    Sweet Potato & Feta Girelle: Puff pastry rolls topped with smooth feta and cubes of roasted sweet potato seasoned with thyme.

    The "In-House" Drink:
    The "Quiet Grove" Mocktail A refreshing blend of cloudy apple juice
    and elderflower syrup, topped with sparkling water and garnished
    with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Event Flow
    The Arrival: Skip the "Hi, my name is..." circle. Solve the hidden objective in the room to break the ice naturally without the forced small talk.

    The Landing: A welcome mocktail is placed in your hand the moment you enter. A plate of unlimited "Quiet Comfort" snacks is already waiting at your seat. No decisions, no stress.

    The Interaction: No need to "think" of what to say. Use our curated cards to guide the talk. We initiate the conversation for you—you just enjoy it.

    The Escape: Draw while you chat, or just doodle and observe. You have the total "right to be silent" whenever you need.

    Mid-week reset: yoga session and masala chai

    Mid-week reset: yoga session and masala chai

    Gambetta Lille, Rue Manuel, Lille, FR

    👉 Reserve your spot here

    Why we meet?
    In the middle of the week, take a pause — for your body, mind, and heart. We live in a world that moves fast, leaving our bodies tense and our minds heavy. This session is about slowing down, gently stretching deep into your muscles, feeling that sweet release that brings back peace and energy and reconnect with a cup of chai and relaxed conversation.

    What to expect:
    - For yoga no experience needed — just come as you are.
    - We'll finish with breathing exercise to calm the mind.
    - After yoga we will provide a cup of masala chai.
    - Real conversations — because when you feel light and free, connection flows naturally.

    Who it’s for:
    Whether you're new to Lille or have been here a while — if your body’s been asking for a break, or simply want to move, breathe, and connect - this space is for you.
    🧘 Please bring a yoga mat, or let us know if you don't have one ⚠️

    This is a small-group gathering limited to 10 people for an intimate experience, and—weather permitting—in a garden setting.

    Event Detail
    Being single has highs and lows—we’ve lived, loved, and let’s be real, sometimes hated them. Tired of the pressure to impress?

    This isn’t speed dating. It’s a night to take the mask off and share the real journey of single life. Whether you are currently single or want to share the wisdom of your past experiences, you belong at our table.

    No performance is needed—just pull up a chair for honest conversation, homemade snacks, and a community that feels like home.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Menu
    Home Made Snacks :

    • Focaccia Slab: olive oil oven-baked focaccia ,topped with
      cherry tomatoes and olives.
    • Smashed Potatoes: oven-baked mashed potatoes with paprika! Served with a sour cream and chive sauce.

    In House Drink :

    • The "June Bloom" mocktail: cloudy apple juice (base), sparkling water, fresh lime juice topping with fresh mint or sliced cucumber.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Event Flow
    The Arrival:
    Forget the "elevator pitch" or the pressure to look perfect. The icebreaking game removes the pressure of "performing" happiness and facilitate genuine talks.

    The Landing:
    A welcome mocktail and a plate of unlimited homemade snacks won’t make you feel insecure or anxious. Authentic flavors feel like a hug. No queues, no small talk at a bar, just immediate comfort.

    The Interaction:
    No forced "dating" questions. Instead of "What do you do?"
    our community feature prompts about the real stuff: the funniest dating disasters, the best parts of solo living, and the myths we’re tired of hearing. We set the stage; you just share the journey and the real conversations.
