About

Dinnermate

Read full description

Travelling solo doesn't have to mean eating alone. Dinnermate connects solo travellers in the same city who simply want good company for dinner. Not dating. Not networking. Just great conversation over a good meal. HOW IT WORKS • You arrive in a new city and it's dinner time • Post your availability for tonight, or browse other travellers already looking for company nearby • Connect with someone interesting, agree on a public restaurant, and enjoy a real conversation over dinner WHY DINNERMATE • Not a dating app — explicitly about companionship and conversation. Meet fellow travellers as you'd meet a colleague or a new friend. • Safety first — meetings happen at public restaurants only. Every user is rated after each dinner. Real names, verified profiles. • Interesting people — solo travellers are some of the most curious, open-minded people around. You never know who you'll end up dining with. Whether you're on a work trip, a layover, or exploring somewhere new, Dinnermate turns a solo dinner into a memorable evening with good company. Browse and post for free. A credit is used only when you send the first message to a new companion — after that, the conversation is completely free. New members get 5 free credits to start. Download Dinnermate and never eat alone when you're travelling.
