12 shared tables in Berlin, from dinners with strangers in restaurants to open evenings, community kitchens and cookery classes with a shared meal. Where, how often, what it costs.
At a shared table you sit next to people you have never met, and the food gives you the first thing to talk about. In Berlin that ranges from dinners with strangers in restaurants to neighbourhood community kitchens and cookery classes that end with a meal together. During the day there is a brunch, a communal lunch and the VHS Lichtenberg cookery classes. This guide lists twelve tables that the organiser announces on their own page or channel. Times and prices change, so check the organiser's page before you go.

For supper club hosts
If you host a table like these, you know the moment at the door when guests leave without having swapped numbers. before is a small web app for hosts of such evenings: guests check in at the door with a QR code in their browser, and anyone who likes takes a selfie. The day after, the afterparty is open from 10 am to 8 pm. Guests who shared a selfie see everyone else who shared one and choose who they would like to see again. From 20:00, those who both want to see each other again find each other, and only then does a chat open. One-sided wishes stay invisible, and before sends no rejections. Whether that leads to a meeting is up to the guests. Nobody needs a dating profile; more on hosting in our guide How to host a supper club.
