Dinners
Every Wednesday evening, and on Fridays too in many cities.
A table at a restaurant we've booked, with four to six people put together for you. You show up, order, and find out who's sitting across from you.
Book a dinner
New city? Make it feel like home.
Moving abroad fills your calendar with admin and leaves the evenings empty. Timeleft gives you a table each week with a small group put together for you, and all you have to do is show up.

Your first dinner, step by step
-
When you book
Pick a day and a language
Book in English or the local language, and we aim to group you with people who picked the same. Booking stays open until 13 hours before.
-
Before the dinner
We put the table together
Four to six people, chosen from your quiz answers, age band and language, at a restaurant we book. Most people come on their own, and a friend can join you as a +1 whose first event is free.
-
The start
Sit down
Tell the staff you're with Timeleft and take your seat. There's an icebreaker game in the app if the table wants a starting point.
-
Next week
Book another
There's an event to book each week, which gives a new city a rhythm before you've built your own.
Ways to meet people
Coffee
Every Saturday afternoon.
An afternoon coffee at a café we've picked, with a small group put together for you. It's a lighter way to meet people than a full evening out.
Book coffee
Safety
Is it safe to meet strangers in a new city?
Every event is at a public venue we've vetted, and there's no one-to-one messaging before you meet. If you report someone, you're never placed with them again.
99%
Over 99% of Timeleft experiences happen without any safety incident, according to the safety framework we published in June 2026.
What does it cost?
Booking takes a Timeleft membership, and the app shows its price in your country before you pay anything.

I joined about six months ago because I had just moved to a new city and didn’t know anyone. I found that it’s a wonderful way to meet people and have an enjoyable evening. I think what I like best is that everyone attending is there to meet new people.

As a shy / introverted person trying to find my way in a new country, this was a lovely chance to meet new people and have great conversations!

Questions from expats
Do I need to speak the local language?
No. Events run in the local language and in English, and you choose one or both when you book. Pick both only if you're comfortable holding a whole conversation in either.
Is there an event just for expats?
No. Regular Timeleft events bring together people who just arrived and people who've lived in the city for years.
Can I go on my own?
Yes. You book on your own and we put the group together, so you don't need to bring anyone. If you'd like company, you can invite a friend as a +1 from the event page, and their first event is free.
