Expats
Moving to a new city means rebuilding a social circle from scratch. Start a Dinner Roulette with people you’ve met so far, and because everyone can forward the invite, the group grows and mixes by itself.
Roulette Log in
Spin the night.
One dinner, split into three courses, spread across three apartments. And you never sit with the same group twice.
What it is
Three courses.
Three tables.
You team up with one or two friends as a duo or trio, or join alone and get paired with someone. Each team cooks one course: the starter, the main or the dessert. Everyone pays for their own dish.
If your team hosts, you cook the main and stay home all night. The other teams come to you. If you don’t host, you’re on the move: you travel between apartments for the starter and the dessert, and join a different mix of teams at each stop.
Either way you share a table with new people at every course. Some familiar, some strangers, all in one evening. Nobody has to plan it alone: the app does the matching, decides who cooks what and who goes where, and keeps everyone close to home.
It feels like
- 01The community of a running or book club
- 02The curiosity of a Tour de Chambre
- 03The build-up of a TD Séparé
- 04The healthy stress of a first date
If you host
Your night at home
You cook the main. Three different groups come through your door.
- Starter at your placeAnother team brings the starter. You set the table.
- Main at your placeYour turn to cook, for a fresh table of guests.
- Dessert at your placeA new set of faces, and someone else brings dessert.
If you travel
Your night on the move
You cook the starter or the dessert, and see three apartments.
- Starter, apartment 1Icebreaker conversations with your first group.
- Main, apartment 2Bike or walk over. New hosts, new table.
- Dessert, apartment 3Looser and louder by now. Bring your dish if it’s yours to cook.
Why join
Sit down with people
you wouldn’t otherwise.
New faces, small tables
Most plans keep you inside the group you already have. Even among friends you end up talking to the same few people. Across one evening you sit with a different combination at every course. Some you know, some you don’t, and that mix makes it easier than meeting a stranger cold.
Structured, so never awkward
The hardest part of meeting people is the way in: walking into a room and not knowing who to talk to. Here you always have something to do (cook, eat, move on) and a small group, never a big room of strangers. And every table has an end time.
One night, several moods
Because the group changes with every course, so does the energy: icebreakers at the starter, settling in over the main, looser and more relaxed by dessert.
See how people live
Moving between apartments gives you a small, honest glimpse into other people’s lives: their kitchen, their neighbourhood, their taste. A restaurant dinner never gives you that, and it adds a layer of curiosity to the whole night.
Who it’s for
Made for
Friend groups
For friends who know each other well but want a break from routine. Pair up with partners, invite a few more people, and swap one big table for smaller, closer conversations. Plus a mini tour of everyone’s apartments.
Students
Small student rooms aren’t built for a big dinner, but students are always up for a dinner party. Think of it as an upgraded Tour de Chambre: host a small group, move on, and meet each other’s friends along the way.
How it works
From invite
to dessert
- 1
New Dinner Roulette
Someone creates an edition in the app and gets an invite with a unique code. They send it out, and everyone is encouraged to forward it to people who’d fit.
- 2
Sign up
Join as a duo, a trio or solo; solos get paired up. Say whether you can host and how many you can seat. The organiser accepts each team.
- 3
Groups close
One to two weeks before, the app makes the groups, weighing hosts, distances and who already knows whom. You hear you’re matched, but not where. Last chance to cancel.

Announcement
Three days before, everyone gets their route: which course you cook, which apartments you go to, and who you’ll sit with.
What we ask when you sign up:
Who you’re teaming up withWho invited youWhether you can host, and your addressHow many people you can seatAllergies and dietary needsA fun fact for the tableThat you’re free and committed
Good to know
House rules
Show up
A no-show breaks a whole table, not just your team. If plans change, cancel when the groups close so the app can rebalance before routes go out.
Cook with care
It doesn’t need to be fancy, but someone is counting on your course. Check the allergies on your route before you shop.
Stay close
All apartments are in the same part of town, and the app keeps travel short. Walk, bike or take the metro between courses.
Bring your fun fact
Fun facts are read out at the table without names. Guessing whose is whose is half the fun.
