Dinner for Dads — A Conversation with Dr. Ravi

At Ruby Lane, we’re big believers in real connection. And sometimes, the simplest way to start a meaningful conversation is over a shared meal.

That’s why we’re proud to host Dinner for Dads — a powerful event founded by Dr. Ravi Rudner to support the wellbeing of fathers in our community.

In our latest Ruby Recommends feature, we caught up with Dr. Ravi in Manly to ask him three simple but important questions:

1. What inspired you to start Dinner for Dads?

Dr. Ravi shares how a combination of personal experience and what he observed in his medical practice led him to realise that dads often carry silent pressures — and rarely get a space to share honestly.

2. What’s the difference between a night out with the lads and Dinner for Dads?

This isn’t about beers and banter. It’s about real talk and building community with other men who are navigating the same challenges of modern fatherhood. And realising it’s not about being perfect.

3. What do you hope dads take away from the night?

A sense of belonging. A reminder that they’re not alone. And the opportunity to connect, reflect, and reset.
