  • I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…

Questions about Timeleft in Porto

How can I meet new friends in Porto?
Timeleft matches you with four to six people for dinner or coffee in Porto, based on your interests, personality and language. You sign up on your own, we choose the venue and the group, and 12 hours before the event, the app tells you where to go. Read our story on Timeleft dinners in Porto.
When are Timeleft events in Porto?
There's dinner every Wednesday and Friday at 8:00 pm and coffee every Saturday at 3:00 pm. Bookings close 13 hours before each event starts.
Where in Porto do they happen?
At restaurants and cafés across Porto. The app shows the exact venue 12 hours before the event.
How much does a Timeleft dinner cost in Porto?
To book, you need a Timeleft subscription. Food and drinks are paid separately at the venue. Subscription prices depend on the plan you pick, and the app shows them before you pay.
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. Every event is at a public venue we've vetted, and our safety guidelines cover the rest. The guide to your first dinner walks through it step by step.
Is Timeleft a dating app?
No. There are no profiles to swipe through, and nobody gets paired off. You meet four to six people at once, in person.
What if I'm vegetarian or vegan, or have an allergy?
Pick a dietary preference in the app when you book, and we'll do our best to seat you at a venue that caters to it. Most restaurants we use in Porto have vegetarian dishes, and some have vegan ones too. For allergies, check with the venue on the day.
Is Timeleft in other cities in Portugal?
Yes. You'll also find Timeleft in Lisbon. See every location.
