  • Went to a dinner in Toronto. The restaurant they selected was very good (I did the middle $$ option), I’ll probably be back. The group was good too, similar age range and occupations (which I honestly wish was a bit more mixed). Wouldn’t say I found any new best friends or anything, but it was an enjoyable evening, so I’ll likely go again

  • 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 Toronto

How can I meet new friends in Toronto?
Timeleft matches you with a small group of people for dinner, drinks, coffee, or a walk in Toronto, based on a short personality test. You sign up on your own, we choose the venue and the group, and before the event, the app tells you where to go.
When are Timeleft events in Toronto?
Timeleft runs dinners on Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:00 pm, drinks on Thursdays at 7:00 pm, coffee on Saturdays at 1:00 pm, and walks on Saturdays at 10:00 am. There are also women-only dinners on Mondays at 7:00 pm and singles dinners on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm. Bookings close 13 hours before each event starts.
Where in Toronto do they happen?
At restaurants, bars, cafés, and meeting points in Downtown and Midtown. The app shows the exact venue before the event.
How much does a Timeleft dinner cost in Toronto?
Booking takes a Timeleft membership, and you pay for your own food and drinks at the venue. Membership 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 a small group of people at once, in person.
Are there singles events in Toronto?
Yes. Timeleft runs singles dinners on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm in Toronto, with a small group matched to you at a venue we pick. More about singles events.
How is Timeleft different from Meetup?
Meetup lists groups and events run by their own organizers, and you choose which to join. With Timeleft, you pick a format and a day, and we match you with a small group and choose the venue. Our Timeleft vs Meetup comparison goes into more detail.
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 Toronto have vegetarian dishes, and plenty have vegan ones too. For allergies, check with the venue on the day.
Is Timeleft in other cities in Canada?
Yes. You'll also find Timeleft in Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, and Québec City. See every location.
