Girlhood is dancing in your living room with your best friends, singing at the top of your lungs. It’s holding hands or linking arms as you walk down the street. It’s texting, “What are you wearing?” before a night out. It’s laughing until your stomach hurts, late-night deep talks, spontaneous beach trips, sharing clothes—sharing everything.
There’s just something about a plate filled with artisanal snacks that may or may not logically go together—but somehow just work. It’s the kind of meal best enjoyed while watching your favorite guilty pleasure show, sipping tea, wine, or—if you’re really leaning in—a martini.
If you need inspiration for the nights when you don’t feel like cooking but still want to feed into your feminine energy, we’ve got you covered.
Instagram and TikTok are overflowing with Girl Dinner inspo, and we’re here for it. The best ones? A little chaotic, a little indulgent, but always hitting the right balance of flavors and textures.
Here are a few of our favorite creators who get it:
Holly Barnes, self-proclaimed Savory Girl, is known for her “dirty, filthy, slutty, nasty” martini recipes (her words, not ours). She also serves up some serious Girl Dinner inspiration.
This snack plate she put together is a masterclass in flavor contrast—think creamy tzatziki, sweet raspberry jam, salty salami, briny pepperoncini, and crunchy truffle potato chips. A little bit of everything for when you can’t decide what you’re craving.

One of the core principles of Girl Dinner? Never stick to just one flavor profile.
The perfect plate has both sweet and savory elements—like this six-ingredient dream plate featuring seasonal fruits, burrata cheese, prosciutto, olives, and tomatoes. The burrata ties everything together chef’s kiss beautifully.
Danielle doesn’t just do snacks—she elevates them. Her “Girl Snacks” aren’t your basic yogurt and berries. Instead, she’s out here pairing:

If we’re talking about Girl Dinner, we must pay tribute to Bethenny Frankel—CEO of Skinnygirl, inventor of the Skinny Margarita, and professional girl’s girl.
Her take? When in doubt, outsource it. A Caesar salad, a side of fries, and a crisp glass of white wine is peak Girl Dinner energy. Sometimes, the best move is just making a reservation.
We can’t talk about Girl Dinner without discussing the tinned fish renaissance. Sardines, smoked trout, fancy tuna—Fishwife is leading the charge with cute branding, unique recipes, and a sustainability-first mission.
