  • 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…

Are Timeleft events in Taichung in English?
Yes, if you want them to be. You choose Mandarin or English when you book, and we aim to seat you with people who picked the same language.

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. For allergies, check with the venue on the day.

Yes. You'll also find Timeleft in Taipei, Kaohsiung, Hsinchu, and Tainan. See every location.
