What we’re about
Weekend Dining is a group for Melbournians to come together and share a love of dining and great food. We warmly welcome you and we encourage you and all group members to participate in experiencing the many diverse restaurants our beautiful city of Melbourne has to offer.
This group is ideal for those who enjoy fabulous dining, superb food and drink, fulfilling conversations and laughter. Join new and old friends in a safe, warm and hospitable setting. All we ask of you is to be yourself.
Our events will be held in Melbourne and some inner city suburbs predominantly on Saturday nights. Dinner events will cater for between 6-10 people and with this number, most restaurants encourage group bookings to have either a ‘Feed me Menu’ or a ‘Share Menu’. With some restaurants we will be able, on occasions, to create a menu for the group. On average the cost of these dinners will range from $50 - $120 per person and it does not include drinks.
All dining events posted on the "Weekend Dining" group will require a full payment by PayPal at the time of RSVP and when payment has been received you are confirmed as attending that event. We request pre-payment because confirmed attendees are then committed to participating in a full event and it also respectfully allows the restaurant to cater to our needs and group size. Secondly, confirmed RSVP numbers eliminates any last minute No-Shows, that is people who just don’t turn up.
We understand that life may throw some challenges at you occasionally and if you require to cancel your attendance, we will refund your payment to you and look forward to seeing you at another event. On some occasions, some restaurants may require full payment from late cancellations and you will be notified of this requirement in the event description prior to you making your RSVP. If you have any concerns or questions about your RSVP, please don’t hesitate to contact the event organiser!!
We are a diverse group, made up of people from all walks of life and we encourage everyone to be respectful and tolerant towards each other. Disrespectful, aggressive, abusive and harassing behaviour towards any group member or restaurant staff, will not be tolerated and the group organiser reserves the right to remove any individual who crosses the boundary.
We regularly come together to enjoy each other’s company and to foster new friendships. Weekend Dining group gives all members the opportunity to join like-minded people in a restaurant gathering enjoying great food, drink, fun and laughter.
We look forward to meeting you soon!

See all- Dinner @ David's RestaurantDavids restaurant, PrahranA$20.00
Let's go out for some Chinese food!
From their website:
To eat like the locals in Shanghai, you have to be a local. You have to know which crooked alleyway to walk down and which riverside home cooks the best congee. Similarly, in Prahran, the streets are heaving with hustle and bustle. But down quite, one-way Cecil Place, you can forget the noise and city lights while feasting at an established hidden gem, the same way you can lose yourself sitting beside the water in the Chinese countryside, munching on prawns from the morning’s catch.
David’s was born 21 years ago from a small tea store on Chapel Street, founded by Shanghai-born David Zhou. Word of David’s tea talents spread quickly, and he soon opened David’s so he could share Shanghai cuisine with Melbourne. At David’s, we put tradition on the table, offering casual cuisine inspired by countryside Shanghai. Our wholesome fare combines traditional dishes with contemporary tastes. Many of our recipes have been passed down from great grandmothers and are perfect to share with family, friends and colleagues.The banquet menu looks great MENU $78pp
As usual a $20 deposit will be required to secure your spot, and this will be returned to you on the night.
See you there,
Priscila
