Today's menu and the à la carte menu of the restaurants around you, at any moment — published by the restaurants themselves. AROUND YOU The restaurants of the icioncuisine.com Guide, nearest first: today's menu published this morning, full menu, opening hours, photos, ratings. Set the radius, filter those with a menu, open now, with a terrace, bookable, under €20. SEARCH WHAT YOU FEEL LIKE EATING A dish, a restaurant, a city, a cuisine: "quenelle", "ramen", "Annecy", "Italian". The Guide tells you where it is on today's menu or à la carte, with the price. THE MAP Every restaurant around you on a real map; in green, those that published their menu today. Tap, and the page opens. YOUR FAVOURITES LET YOU KNOW The heart on a page keeps the restaurant and notifies you in the morning when it publishes today's menu, or when it has news — one notification per restaurant, not ten. And once a week, the new restaurants around you. BOOK, ORDER, CALL Book a table in two taps, order takeaway when the restaurant offers it, find your bookings, call or get directions. NO PASSWORD A code by SMS or e-mail is enough. If you had the Menu du Jour app, your favourites are still there. Le Guide is the app of icioncuisine.com, published by Dujour SAS. Menus are published by the restaurants on dujour.pro; prices are indicative.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IOC at none against BLW Meals's 3. IOC also leads on ads (none vs shown). BLW Meals's advantage is review sentiment (98% vs 76%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
