Meet.
Eat.
Repeat.
We’re bringing together Durham Region residents who share a love for food and want to build meaningful friendships. 🍽️
Our meetups promise delicious meals and engaging conversations, with a rotation of local restaurants to keep things interesting. Your input for venue suggestions is not just welcome; it's encouraged!
We also host weekly Get Out! Coffee & Conversation events, perfect for those who work from home and need a refreshing midweek break with casual chats and friendly faces.
Our newest addition is the Live & Local series—featuring music and nightlife events perfectly paired with snacks or a meal.
When requesting to join, please be sure that you have your first name and a photo of yourself in your profile so that we can recognize and welcome you at our events.
If you reserve a spot, we kindly ask that you honour your commitment. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows may lead to removal from the group to ensure fairness and consideration for all members.
We can’t wait to meet you and look forward to sharing a meal soon!
