I started Gouda Friends because I’ve missed the simple joy of sitting at a table with people who inspire me — sharing food, laughter, and real conversation. This series is my way of reconnecting with the people who’ve impacted me, while creating space for you to connect with one another.

Around an intimate table of twelve, strangers become companions, stories intertwine, and laughter fills the spaces between courses. It’s friendship-forward dining — almost like dating, but with less pressure and a lot more joy. If you’ve been craving new friends, fresh conversations, or just a reason to slow down and be present, this table is for you.
