The best meals
tell stories.

They're on a terrace in Lisbon. A courtyard in Marrakech. A kitchen in Kyoto, a rooftop in Brooklyn. Squiszi opens those doors — eight seats, one host, an evening that will outlast the photos.

Our first hosts

Every table starts with one cook.

We would rather open with three homes worth travelling for than thirty that are merely available.

Opening soon

The first tables are being set.

We are choosing our first hosts — people who genuinely cook, in homes you would want to eat in. We would rather show you an empty page than invent a table that is not there.

You don't book a table here. You accept an invitation.
— the squiszi premise
More than a meal

Where every dish
has a story.

A home restaurant is not a restaurant at all. It is an invitation into someone's life — their kitchen, their family recipes, their neighbourhood. No printed menus. No anonymous waiters. You sit at a table that has seen generations of Sunday lunches, eat food made with care rather than speed, and leave feeling like you've been somewhere real.

  • 01
    8–12 guests, max.

    No crowds. Just the table, the host, and the people who showed up.

  • 02
    Meet your cook.

    They live there. Ask them about the neighbourhood, the wine, anything.

  • 03
    Family recipes.

    Dishes with generations of history, passed down by hand — not by menu card.

  • 04
    Hidden locations.

    Places you won't find on Google. The address arrives when your booking does.

The shape of an evening

Six courses is a menu.
Six hours is a dinner.

  1. 19:30
    The door opens

    You are handed a glass before you are handed anything to read.

  2. 20:00
    Something small

    Usually whatever the host is quietly proudest of.

  3. 20:45
    The dish they are known for

    Often the reason the evening exists at all.

  4. 21:30
    The one that takes time

    Started this morning, or yesterday, or on Sunday.

  5. 22:15
    Something sweet

    Frequently a grandmother’s, frequently unwritten.

  6. Late
    You are still there

    Nobody is turning the table. That is rather the point.

Every host runs their evening differently — this is the rhythm most of them share. Your host sets the actual menu, and tells you before you book.

Simple as 1–2–3
