## What is Top Dish?

Top Dish answers the only question that matters when you sit down at a restaurant: what should I order?

Instead of star ratings for the whole place, Top Dish finds the best dishes at every restaurant — the plates locals rave about — so you order like a regular on your first visit.

DISHES EARN SIGHTINGS
Every time a real diner singles out a dish in a review, that's a sighting. We've read millions of reviews across 18,000+ New York restaurants, so the most-sighted dish sits at the top of every menu — with field notes on exactly how to order it.

WHAT YOU GET
• A map of NYC where the most-sighted dishes are crowned right on it
• Every restaurant's menu ranked by sightings, with field notes and what diners actually say
• Explorer Series — 25 curated dish trails (The Pizza Canon, Bagel Royalty, the Dumpling Trail…) you check off as you eat your way through the city
• Save spots, track your progress, and sync across your devices

PRIVACY FIRST
No ads. No trackers. Your location is used only on your device to show what's nearby — it never leaves your phone. Signing in is optional, and you can delete your account anytime.

Launching in New York City and 19 other cities coming soon.

### 5/5 — Life-Changing App

*2026-07-15*

This is the app I didn't know I needed until I found it. I honestly can't believe no one thought of this sooner.

Instead of just recommending restaurants, it tells you exactly what to order and that's what makes it so useful. It completely takes the decision fatigue out of eating out because I know I'm ordering the best dishes instead of just guessing.

I'm also really passionate about community-driven reviews, and this feels like such a game changer. The recommendations are genuinely helpful because they're based on what people actually love.
Please expand to more states soon! ❤️

### 5/5 — Excited

*2026-07-15*

It’s about time someone made an app like this. I’ve been waiting for something that actually tells me what to order and what trending dishes are worth crossing off my bucket list. My friends and I can spend way too long deciding where to eat or what to try. This app finally takes the guesswork out of it. It makes it easy to pick a restaurant and know you’re ordering one of the best things on the menu instead of hoping you made the right choice.

### 5/5 — Local but still discovering stuff

*2026-07-15*

Born and raised here and I still freeze up looking at menus sometimes. This thing shows you the dish that actually gets mentioned the most in real reviews. Tapped around Brooklyn on the map the other day and tried one of the top spots it showed. Spot on. My coworker who’s lived here longer than me was surprised I found it before he did. The trails are kinda fun too — did part of the bagel one a few weeks back and already planning another round.

### 5/5 — Took the stress out of picking restaurants

*2026-07-15*

My partner and I used to spend forever arguing about where to eat and what to order. Tbh, there’s always maps to tell you WHERE to eat, but we have such a hard time figuring out WHAT to eat. I want get my money’s worth and order the dish the restaurant is known for and which people have loved. Top dish hasn’t missed a single dish yet! Every time we have ordered the top dish, it has been banger. We even started a little shared list of places we want to try from the trails, which has been super cute. This truly feels like having a friend who’s tried everything and knows what’s actually worth ordering!

### 5/5 — No more menu guessing

*2026-07-15*

Finally an app that tells me exactly what to order instead of scrolling through a million menu items! I was in NYC last weekend and used Top Dish at a random Italian spot in the West Village. It crowned the cacio e pepe as the most-sighted dish and even gave the exact field note from real reviews on how to ask for it extra peppery. Ordered it and it was hands-down the best thing on the table. Already planning my next trip around the Pizza Canon trail. Super clean and no annoying ads.
