Everything InstaTaste does, in plain words
Built for local food explorers and traveling foodies who'd rather trust a source than read hundreds of reviews.
Find a trusted place nearby
The map shows spots recommended by recognized lists and food creators. Each spot tells you where the recommendation came from.
- Browse trusted lists for where you are or where you're going: Michelin Guide, World's 50 Best, James Beard Awards, Yelp Top 100, One Bite, Thai SELECT, specialty coffee rankings and more.
- See the places food creators recommend, and who recommended each one.
- Sort by Best or Near to decide quickly, with distance and travel time shown.
- Skip the large chains. They're filtered out.
- Know what to order before you go, with standout dishes for each spot (Free: 5 reveals in any rolling 7 days; Premium: every dish).
Save spots for later and for trips
- Save places into your own lists with an emoji and name.
- Share lists and plan together with friends.
