The purpose of the group is for its members to have a good time, meeting old and new friends while dining out at different restaurants in the local area. The group normally meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month, from September to November and January to May, at a restaurant chosen by the hosts for that month. Most events are held in the evenings, but occasionally at lunchtime during the winter months, or if the events are held a bit further away from Moraira.
Details of the chosen restaurant, menus and costs are e-mailed to all group members well in advance of the event, and it is then up to the group members, (couples and singles), to decide whether they wish to attend, and then inform the hosts with their menu choices.
Depending on the restaurant, there are six to eight people per table. Table allocation at both events each month is randomly allocated by the hosts, thus giving people the chance to meet new friends, at restaurants that they may not know.
The price per person for the menu will normally not be more than 35€, to include a 3 course meal, half a bottle of wine per person, water and a staff gratuity. Payment (cash only) is collected by the hosts at the event.

It was a lovely evening, before the rains arrived the …
The Antiquary restaurant in Benitachell is a relatively small and cosy restaurant in Benitachell in which the group has held a number of events over the years. It’s the favourite of hosts Peter and Pauline Griffiths, and so it was fitting that they chose the Antiquary to hold the last event that they would host for our Dining Out group. A total of sixty group members attended the two events in March, and owners Antonio and his wife Maria produced …
Last year the group decided to widen the area where our events take place and to also organise the occasional lunchtime event instead of during the evening. In April last year the group went to the Attico Restaurant in Javea, and in November held a lunchtime event at the EL Campo restaurant, also in Javea. Both were very popular, and so in February we decided to once again go to the Attico, but to have one event at lunchtime and …
After a break in December, the Dining Out gathered together on the 17th January at Restaurant Maxim in Moraira. The group first went to Restaurant Maxim about 6 years ago, soon after Maxim and his sister Lola took over the premises, and over the years the restaurant has gradually increased its capacity both inside for the winter months and outside during the summer. During that time the restaurant has gained an excellent reputation and is consistently rated as one of …
