Plates and Mates is a curated dinner series to make new friends in Indy and this edition is for the LGBTQIA+ community!
This is an intimate, curated dinner series that brings restaurant recommendations to life. It’s all about supporting local restaurants, discovering new places across the city, and meeting people who love trying new things just as much as you do.
Each dinner matches strangers with shared interests at one of our favorite local spots, turning solo plans into a night of discovery, delicious food, and great conversation.
HOW IT WORKS:
Sign up for the dinner to reserve your spot. It’s $10 to reserve your spot, which covers the curation and includes an appetizer for the table.
All food and beverage orders during dinner are paid for individually.
Fill out a brief profile (so we can match you with humans that you have similarities with)
Wait for your restaurant and table info. You will be notified 1-2 hours from the dinner date.
Show up to the dinner. Each table with consist of 4-6 strangers. Make new friends with conversation prompts and ice breakers, then pay for your own bill.
After dinner, stick around and socialize with the other tables, and view compatibility match scores with everyone.
