We are a social app that connects people over dinner.

Our app is a social dining experience for people who want genuine human interaction, meaningful conversations, and new friendships.

Based on personality and shared interests, we match small groups of 4–6 people and bring them together for dinner with different people every Thursday at 7 PM.

We handle everything, you just show up!

The best connections don’t happen in DMs, but around a table.

Based in Cluj-Napoca 🇷🇴 & Chișinău 🇲🇩

How It Works

Four simple steps to your next great connection

STEP 1

Register

Create your profile by completing the quiz so that our algorithm can match you with others.

STEP 2

Select a dinner event

Every Thursday at 7PM we host multiple dinners in different restaurants in the city (at the same time). Select a dinner event that suits your schedule

STEP 3

Get matched

Our algorithm groups 4-6 compatible people who'll have great conversations together. You'll find information about them 24h before the dinner event.

STEP 4

Enjoy the experience!

We select the restaurant, match the group, and you just show up and enjoy the experience.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Everything you need to know before your first dinner

The table is reserved under the "One Dinner Away" name. Mention the name and the staff will guide you to your table.
Dinner events usually run in the local language and in English. We try to group people who pick the same language. If you choose more than one though, you could be placed in a group using either language, so only select languages you can speak with confidence, because it's all about making a strong connection.
Open-minded, curious and courageous. Just like you. We also aim for a balanced mix of genders so every table has great chemistry.
This lets us know who is at the table and who isn't. This way the algorithm can make better matches next time. You can confirm each dinner attendance inside Dinner Details -> hit Check In.
You can cancel from Dinner Details. Remember to cancel or reschedule 48h before the dinner in order to get a refund. No-shows or last-minute cancellations can negatively impact the whole table. In other words, it won't be the same without you.
We don't have this option yet. But you can invite them to sign up, and you might get matched at the same table.
Yes. Use our Feedback form after dinner. This lets us know who was at the table, and how to make better matches next time.
Introverts do great at our dinners. It's a small, relaxed, and pressure-free atmosphere, where you can be exactly who you are.
Not at all. Great conversations can happen across multiple generations. But we'll obviously try to match you with people closer to your age.
We've had dinners that lasted until 2 am, so stay as much as you feel comfortable and engaged.
Everyone pays for their own meal. Zero pressure, no bill hero here.
Just ask or offer to share your contact details with the people you vibe with. No pressure, connections should feel natural, not forced.
We don't have a chat feature. We found that most people prefer to connect through their own social profiles. But remember that real connections happen at the table, not through chat bubbles.
We're working on after-dinner events and after-drinks for those who want to continue the fun. Make sure you follow us on socials to know when it happens.
After dinner, you'll see a feedback option in your Dinner Details. Rate the people, the restaurant, and us. And please be honest. We can take it.
You can report inappropriate behavior in the Feedback form. We'll take it into account and will try not match you with them next time.
Of course! We're always looking for new cozy places to test out. You can use our Contact Form for this.
Yes! We're looking to expand to other cities like Brașov, Timișoara, Iași and Oradea. Let us know if you'd like us to bring our dinners to your city.
Go to your Profile → Edit Profile. And don't forget, the more information you'll fill in, the better your matches are going to be. So make sure it's 100% complete.
Just contact us and we'll remove it for you. No questions asked.
