About Lecida

Dinner with Strangers. Leave with Friends.

Our Story

Lecida was born from a simple idea: the best conversations happen around a dinner table. In a world of endless scrolling and shallow connections, we believe there's a better way to meet people — over good food, in someone's home, with intention.

Founded in Portland, Oregon, Lecida is a social dining platform that connects hosts who love to cook and entertain with guests looking for authentic, intimate experiences in their city.

In January 2026, Lecida was exhibited at CES 2026 in Las Vegas — bringing our vision of trust-based social dining to a global stage.

Our Mission

We're building a world where anyone can walk into a room of strangers and walk out with friends. Lecida makes it easy to discover, host, and attend small dinner gatherings that feel personal, safe, and unforgettable.
