The end of endless restaurant lists. Foodsteps brings everything you already use for food into one place: where your friends eat, every restaurant you've visited, your lists, your plans and sunny terraces right now. SEE WHERE YOUR FRIENDS EAT Discover restaurants through people you trust, not anonymous reviews. See where your friends go, what they'd order again and which places they call a must-step. Your circle always comes first. KEEP EVERY PLACE YOU VISIT Every restaurant you've been to, with your photos, your must orders and your notes, on one map and in one grid. Share photos straight from your camera roll and you're done in seconds. LISTS FOR YOU, OR SHARED Keep lists just for yourself, or share them so friends can add places and vote. Save one place to several lists at once, and bring your saved places over from Google Maps in seconds. PLAN DINNER WITHOUT THE GROUP CHAT Start a plan, suggest a few dates and places, and let everyone vote. Afterwards, turn it into a foodstep with one tap. FIND THE SUN See which terraces catch the sun right now, this evening, or at the time you pick, measured terrace by terrace. Looking for a table by the water? One tap. SEARCH THE WAY YOU THINK Type a place, a craving or a street. "Italian" fills your map with Italian spots nearby. A city shows your friends' lists there and the locals worth following. WHAT'S ON IN YOUR CITY Food festivals, pop-ups and one-night dinners, picked for Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague. No stars. No scores. Just places people you trust actually loved. No more lost screenshots, forgotten tips or endless group chats. Foodsteps is your social map for food.
