Vienna Supper Clubs: Shared Tables and Dinner with Strangers
Also in: BerlinHamburgCologneMunichZurichLondonParis (French)Barcelona (Spanish)Rio de Janeiro (Portuguese)
Nine supper clubs and shared tables in Vienna, from a pay-what-you-can community kitchen to a Thai dinner at one long table. 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 Vienna that ranges from a community kitchen that runs on donations to a Thai dinner at one long table. We only list tables that announce their dates on their own page or channel. Times change, so check the organiser's page before you go.

For people who host a supper club
If you host a table like these, you know the moment at the door when guests leave without swapping numbers. before is a web app for organisers. When guests arrive you show the QR code on your phone; they check in with it in their browser, without installing an app, and anyone who likes takes a selfie. The day after, the afterparty is open from 10 am to 8 pm. Anyone who shared a selfie sees everyone else who shared one there and can press the button for meeting again for up to five people. At 8 pm everyone finds out at the same time who wants to see each other again, and only then does a chat open. One-sided wishes stay invisible, and nobody receives a rejection. Nobody needs a profile. More on the page before for organisers.
