The nights

Every dinner is 19:00, downtown, mid-week. Seats are limited to six a table — when a night fills, the next one opens.

WED AUG 1219:00Kensington Market

The Wednesday Table

The standing one. Six seats, a room in the market, and five people you haven't met. Come alone, that's the format.

Dates coming soon
WED AUG 1919:00Distillery District

Long Table

Twice the size, same idea. Three tables running at once in one room, so you meet your six and then everyone else's.

Dates coming soon
WED AUG 2619:00Corktown

East End Supper

Same table, different side of town. Easier if you're east of Yonge and tired of everything happening on King West.

Dates coming soon
RSVPs are handled on Luma. You'll answer a few questions there — those answers are what we use to build your table.

Before you book

Do I really come alone?

Yes, and so does everyone else. It's the one rule that matters. A pair at a table of six changes the whole dynamic — the other four end up talking to a unit instead of two people. If you want to bring a friend, book them onto a different night.

Who else is going to be there?

Five people chosen so that you have exactly one thing in common and differ on most of the rest. We tell you the shared interest in advance. We don't tell you who they are — you find that out when you sit down.

Is this a dating thing?

No. Tables are built for conversation, not chemistry, and we don't match on who you'd like to meet romantically. What people do after dessert is their business.

What does it cost?

You pay for your own dinner. There's no membership and no cover. Venues are picked so a normal meal doesn't require a special occasion budget.

What if I don't know what to say?

Every table gets one opening question sent out with the details — a real one, tied to the thing your table has in common. It's there so nobody has to fall back on asking what everyone does for work.

I have a dietary restriction. Is that a problem?

No. Tell us when you RSVP and you'll only be placed somewhere the kitchen can actually handle it. It's a hard rule, not a preference we weigh against other things.

How far will I have to travel?

You tell us how far you'll walk and we hold to it. Every venue is downtown and close to a subway stop.

What if I book and then can't make it?

Cancel on Luma as early as you can. A no-show leaves five people at a table set for six, so people who repeatedly don't turn up get placed last.

One Wednesday. Five people you haven't met.

Pick a night, answer a few questions, and turn up on your own. That's the whole thing.
