Each month, in a quiet private restaurant in Taipei, 12 guests gather around a round table. No hosts, no icebreakers, no awkward "please introduce yourself" moments. Just fine wine, exquisite food, and matchmaker-curated seating — letting conversation flow naturally from the aperitif through to dessert.

Why a Round Table

The round table eliminates the concept of a "head seat." Everyone is in an equal position — no one needs to compete for attention, and no one is marginalised. This small design detail makes the entire dinner more egalitarian and fluid.

"The best conversations don't happen in the spotlight — they happen at the dinner table, after the first round of wine, when two people find themselves lost in conversation without realising how long they've been talking."

Event Programme

1
Invitation & Confirmation
Ten days before the event, matchmakers send out the month's invitations. Seating is finalised by the matchmaker the day before, based on the mix of guests and who should sit beside whom.
2
Pre-Dinner Mingling
19:00 — Guests arrive for approximately 30 minutes of pre-dinner mingling. Matchmakers are present to facilitate introductions, warming the atmosphere before everyone is seated.
3
Formal Dinner
19:30 — Seated. Three to four curated courses paired with sommelier-recommended wines. The matchmaker does not host — letting conversation unfold naturally.
4
Post-Dinner Follow-Up
If a guest wishes to get to know someone further, they inform the matchmaker after dinner. We confirm mutual interest and arrange a subsequent one-on-one meeting.

Seating Is Carefully Arranged

Seating for the monthly dinner is finalised by the matchmaker only the day before. We determine who sits beside whom based on each guest's character, background, and potential chemistry. It's not random, nor is it matchmaking — it's about creating an environment where curiosity arises naturally.
