At 6 Plates, we are all about bringing people together for authentic, peaceful, and meaningful connections through in-person dinners. Below are key guidelines to keep things fun, safe, and enjoyable. By following these tips, you will help make the experience a success for everyone at the table.
Before Dinner
Communication:We love the thrill of discovering new people face-to-face. If you end up meeting any of your fellow 6 Plates pairings before your dinner, keep the contact minimal to preserve that exciting first-meet feeling.Safety:Let a friend or family member know you will be attending a 6 Plates dinner. Share the restaurant’s location and your expected arrival time for an extra layer of security.Preparation:Bring a positive attitude, a curious mind, and your assigned table number. If you like, check the restaurant’s menu online beforehand to familiarize yourself with the options.
During Dinner
Arrival Time:Arrive punctually to respect others. Last-minute cancellations affect the entire group.Personal Safety:Keep an eye on your belongings and your drink. Be mindful of how much you consume so you can remain clear-headed. Check with wait staff for any allergens in your order.Etiquette:Come hungry. We have selected restaurants based on your dietary and budget preferences, so try the food and let us know what you think. If sharing dishes, discuss them first so everyone is comfortable with the choices. Most restaurants can split the bill, but it is not guaranteed; bringing cash can help. Follow local tipping customs (often 15-20%) and consider tipping generously for good service.Behavior:Focus on enjoying great conversation and delicious food. Engage openly, listen kindly, and have fun getting to know your fellow diners.Embrace Diversity:Everyone brings unique perspectives and experiences. Be respectful and inclusive in conversation. Sensitive topics, such as certain jokes or political views, may be uncomfortable for others. Stay as long as you are enjoying yourself and leave whenever it feels right.Food Preferences:If you have dietary restrictions, inform the wait staff beforehand so they can accommodate you.
After Dinner
Continued Interaction:Only share personal details with people you trust. Stay a bit longer for our “last drink” gathering, where you can mingle with other 6 Plates diners in your area.Safety:Never transfer money or share financial information with someone you have just met. If you notice any suspicious or inappropriate behavior, report it right away via our Customer Support channel.Transportation:If you have consumed alcohol, consider taxis, rideshares, or public transportation. Avoid rides from anyone under the influence.Keep the Night Going (Coming Soon):The end of dinner doesn’t have to be the end of the night. Grab a night cap with other groups of 6 Plate diners from around your city. We’ll let you know where to head after dinner to keep the evening alive.

6 Plates is a safe and inclusive space for everyone, regardless of age, gender, orientation, or religion.We aim to create a comfortable environment for all participants. Our core beliefs are caring, sharing and listening.
At 6 Plates, the magic number is three couples. Why? Because it’s the perfect balance for meaningful connection and ease of conversation. Two couples can feel a little too intimate, putting pressure on the interaction, while four couples might feel overwhelming, making it harder to truly engage with everyone at the table.With three couples, there’s just the right mix of energy and variety, allowing everyone to connect, share, and enjoy without feeling crowded or stretched thin. It’s an ideal setup for fostering genuine engagement and ensuring each dinner feels personal, comfortable, and memorable.
We want every dinner to be a comfortable, fun-filled experience. That’s why our unique matching process considers everything from age range and gender distribution to your personality test results—ensuring each table brings together couples with the right energy and vibe.We also do our best to keep the age difference at your table within about ten years whenever possible. This helps everyone feel on the same page, making your evening more relaxed, engaging, and open to new friendships!

We pick Thursdays because they’re just close enough to the weekend to feel more relaxed than a Monday or Tuesday. Plus, having all dinners on the same night means we can bring multiple dining groups together for a fun meet-up in each city once you’ve all wrapped up your meals!
We host dinners in both the local language and English—your choice! When you book, simply pick one or both languages, and we’ll do our best to seat you with others who speak the same. This way, everyone can comfortably chat and connect!
We do our best to accommodate all dietary needs. When registering, you'll be able to indicate your dietary preferences. Check out the restaurant menu on Thursday morning when you receive your booking details, and if it doesn’t work for you, just let us know so we can try and find a venue that better suits you.
