Ease into your Sunday with a calm walk, meaningful conversation, and brunch with new people. This event is all about slowing down, getting out of the house, and connecting with others in a relaxed setting. We’ll start with a casual walk at the Fitzroy Markets so conversations can happen naturally, then continue the morning over brunch. It’s perfect if you want to meet new friends without the pressure of a big social event. You can come by yourself, bring an open mind, and let the conversation unfold. We’ll include a few simple BeSocial prompts to help break the ice and make it easier to get to know each other. Whether you’ve had a busy week, recently moved, or just want to build more real-life connection, this is a gentle way to reset and start the week feeling more connected. **Perfect for:** brunch lovers, Sunday walkers, people who prefer small groups, and anyone looking for genuine conversation.

Thanks to our Fine Diner Melanie for highlighting this three-week-only menu at renowned pasta spot Tipo 00 for truffle season. Here’s what you need to know about the food: Price - $165pp (optional wine pairing $105) ***Menu*** Focaccia, ricotta, basil oil Bomboloni 'cacio & pepe', black garlic & truffle Beef carpaccio, tomato, Parmigiano Reggiano & truffle Stracciatella, pear agrodolce, marjoram, almond Risotto al tartufo Rabbit pappardelle, hazelnut, marjoram & truffle Braised greens, almond puree Tartufomisu, chocolate, coffee, truffle cream & truffle Rice pudding, rhubarb & pistachio Yum! I have booked for 5 Fine Diners to enjoy Tipo 00’s Truffle Menu at $165 per person for dinner from 6pm on Saturday 4 July. 

Join the waitlist to express interest. After the first day or so of posting, once I have names in the waitlist, I’ll send you a ‘Meetup Message’ to confirm you have a spot and how to pay. You’ll need to send me $50 to secure your place (equivalent to the cancellation fee - this will be deducted from your bill when we settle up). Once paid I’ll move you from the waitlist to ‘Attending’. As these are small group events, there are often more Fine Diners interested than there are seats available. My approach to hosting an event is to share seats around amongst members of the group in as fair a manner as I can, including mixing Fine Diners regulars with newcomers. Please be respectful if there are events when you miss out on a spot. I will always message you so you know if you have secured a seat or are still waitlisted in case a seat opens up. Please check that you don’t have your settings blocking messages; if I can’t contact you, I’ll have to move on to the next person. Also if you don’t respond to my message offering you a spot within 3 days, I’ll let you know that I’m offering the seat to another person on the waitlist. 

Bring on the truffle fun(gi)!
