Foodies + New Friends: Lille | Double Dates Edition

Join us for a fun night out with new friends in the city. You and your partner, friend, or sibling connect with another duo over dinner!

Hey locals and foodies 🍔🥙

Whether it's with your best friend, colleague, sibling, or significant other, join us for our series grouping together duos with complete strangers for a fun night out. That's right, you sign up, and we book the restaurant. We know life can get busy. Don't forget to spend time making new friends! Embrace the awkwardness of meeting another duo for the first time blindly: all ages, interests, hobbies, and backgrounds. This project is to host dinners in multiple cities to combat loneliness in the modern world while supporting locally owned businesses.

Each month, dinner is held at a different restaurant. These dinners are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation. Table reservations at the proposed restaurant depend on reaching a minimum headcount of 4 people. The pin on the map is NOT the location but is a placeholder on Eventbrite. The restaurant of the night is discussed with registrants.

Our news segment on Fox 11 Los Angeles!

This micro-event is intended to be for 4-6 people maximum. If the evening you signed up for does not hit the minimum number of signups, please be open to joining us on another night with a fuller group. Check out our feature in Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

How does it work?

After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message regarding age, interest, and favorite foods. We'll stay in touch with you leading up to the night of the dinner. Expect a Final Details email the day of.

Please try your best to register weeks in advance, if possible.

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases. A paid ticket simply makes you more committed to actually showing up. Your registration supports our team's endeavors.

If you sign up the day of, there's a risk of already reaching our maximum for the night, or not having enough interest to move forward with a table reservation. Email ermantourageimpact@gmail.com for info prior to signing up.

Our vision is simple: we take the no gimmicks approach to networking. No need for yet another app to take up space on your phone - just four walls and a roof and good food for people to connect. We coordinate with you directly, human-to-human. 🤖

If you have any more questions, please contact ermantourageimpact@gmail.com!
