Food Date

Food Date connects people through shared food cravings. Pick what you want to eat, choose a restaurant, set a date — and meet fellow food lovers for a real meal. Not a dating app — it's social dining, food-first, gender-neutral, group-friendly, centered on shared food cravings. The default group size is 4 people (host + 3 joiners). The app is designed for platonic social dining connections, similar to Meetup but focused on food. How It Works Pick Your Craving — Browse 24 cuisines and 500+ dishes. From chicken parma to goat biryani, pad thai to souvlaki — if you're craving it, someone else is too. Choose a Spot — Search real Melbourne restaurants powered by Google, complete with ratings and photos. Or nominate your favourite hidden gem. Set a Date — Pick when works for you. See countdown timers so you never miss a food date. Meet & Eat — Others join your food date. You approve who comes. Show up, share a meal, make a friend. Why Food Date? Food-First Matching Unlike dating apps that match on looks, Food Date matches on cravings. Love butter chicken? So do they. That's your conversation starter sorted. Group Dining by Default New users start with group dining (3-4 people). It's safer, more fun, and takes the pressure off. 1-on-1 dining unlocks after you've built trust.
