What is the Single Gourmet?
We are a social dining, travel and adventure club offering singles an elegant alternative to the dating and bar scene. Our easy introduction atmosphere allows singles to meet other singles and is the perfect way for singles to expand their circle of friends while enjoying fun events in a comfortable friendly and non-intimidating, pressure free environment.
Restaurants are selected to reflect the broad cuisine available in the greater Boston area. Each month, we offer a variety of dining experiences, from traditional haute cuisine to exciting new discoveries. Wine is often included to complement your dinner. The Single Gourmet also offers special events and the opportunity to travel with your new friends on exciting, fun-filled trips, both here and abroad.

What does it cost?
With our one time membership fee of $375, you are a member for as long as you wish. The cost of each event is listed on our calendar. The price generally includes a three-course meal, wine, tax and gratuity (unless otherwise noted), and usually averages between $40 to $80 per person depending on the venue.
Back to questions
How do I become a member?
It's very easy. You can fill out and submit the application on this site, or print and mail it to us with your dues ($375.00). If you'd like to receive the membership application by mail, let us know by email and we'll be happy to send it to you.
Back to questions
How many people attend each event?
Every event is attended by a Single Gourmet Host to meet and greet our members. Our easy introduction atmosphere allows for a comfortable, friendly and non-intimidating way for singles to make connections with other singles.
Event attendance varies, usually from 12-40 members. Our membership consists of about three men to every five women. Single Gourmet is not a dating service, but we realize our members want a comfortable mix of men and women to ensure lively events.
Back to questions
How does the mix of ages work?
Very well. We have members in their thirties through sixties. For dining, we often do pre-arranged seating.
Back to questions
Do people arrive alone?
Most of our members come by themselves, but occasionally two friends will come together or members will bring guests. Non-members may come as the guest of a member. Single Gourmet staff members attend every event and make introductions. Our members go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, too.
Back to questions
Will my name, phone number or address ever be given out to anyone?
No. We do not sell or lend our membership list to anyone. If you wish to contact someone after an event but didn't get his/her contact information, we will be happy to call him/her on your behalf. We've received requests like this from both men and women, many of which have resulted in friendships, dating, engagements, and even marriage.
Back to questions
Is there a dress code?
While there is no established dress code, the newsletter will suggest the appropriate dress for events. Men generally wear jackets. Some functions are semi-casual while others require more formal attire.
Back to questions
Can you accommodate dietary preferences?
Of course. Just tell us your dietary preferences/restrictions when you make a reservation for an event. We'll go out of our way to make your dining experience as enjoyable as possible.
Back to questions
Are there other clubs?
Yes! There are thriving Single Gourmet chapters in New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas and many other cities. You may attend dinners in any of these cities when you travel.
