Vota is the restaurant finder that cuts through the noise. No star ratings, no bots, no paid placements. Just a smart comparison system powered by real diners who care about finding great places to eat. Forget traditional restaurant reviews. With Vota, you compare two restaurants you've been to and pick the one you liked more. That's it. Our algorithm turns thousands of these honest comparisons into restaurant ratings that actually reflect quality. It's fast, it's fun, and it works. WHY VOTA IS DIFFERENT Most restaurant apps and review platforms make money from ads and sponsored listings. Vota doesn't. We're 100% independent. No restaurant sponsorships, no display ads, no paid rankings. Our restaurant recommendations come from the community, not from whoever pays the most. No Yelp-style paid boosts. No TripAdvisor-style sponsored placements. Just honest scores from real diners. HOW THE VOTING SYSTEM WORKS Open the app and start comparing restaurants you've visited, one pair at a time. No complicated rating scales or long-form reviews to write. Just pick your favorite from each pair. Every vote makes the system smarter for everyone. It takes seconds, and people tell us it's the most fun part of the app. FIND THE BEST RESTAURANTS NEAR YOU Browse a map of nearby restaurants sorted by genuine quality scores. Get personalized restaurant recommendations based on your taste and location. Check out restaurant menus before you go so you know what to expect. Discover hidden gems and Michelin-worthy spots in your neighborhood that the big review sites overlook. Whether you're searching for the best restaurants near you, hunting for great places to eat in a new city, or just want a trusted restaurant guide for tonight's dinner, Vota's community-driven ratings help you skip the guesswork. KEY FEATURES • Comparison-based voting that's fast and intuitive • Completely independent with zero ads or paid placements • Personalized restaurant recommendations tailored to your taste • Restaurant menus at your fingertips • Upload photos of dishes and restaurants to help the community • Accurate restaurant ratings that evolve with every vote • Location-based restaurant finder for great dining nearby • Clean, simple interface focused on what matters BUILT BY DINERS, FOR DINERS Vota started because we were tired of restaurant reviews you can't trust. Paid placements, fake ratings, and algorithm tricks make it hard to find genuinely good places to eat. We built something better. Every comparison you make improves ratings for the whole community. The more people vote, the more reliable the scores become, and no single user can game the system. JOIN THE COMMUNITY Thousands of diners already use Vota to find their next favorite restaurant.

O DatDish é a app dos pratos, não dos restaurantes. Esquece as classificações de restaurantes inteiros - os melhores sítios têm dias maus e os sítios médios têm aquele prato lendário. O DatDish ranqueia cada prato individualmente, para saberes sempre exatamente o que pedir. DESCOBRE O QUE É BOM PERTO DE TI Vê os pratos mais bem avaliados à tua volta, ranqueados por pessoas reais. A francesinha, o bacalhau à brás, o pastel de nata que os locais adoram - com fotos, avaliações e o restaurante que os faz. E pesquisa pratos, pessoas e restaurantes num só sítio. AVALIA CADA PRATO DE 1 A 5 ESTRELAS Adoraste? Avalia. Cada voto afina os rankings para todos. As tuas avaliações ficam no teu perfil e definem o que sobe ao topo. ADICIONA AS TUAS DESCOBERTAS Tira uma foto, marca o restaurante, escolhe a categoria e põe um prato no mapa. Descobriste uma jóia escondida? Agora toda a gente a encontra também. SEGUE QUEM TEM BOM GOSTO O feed mostra o que toda a gente anda a descobrir - ou só quem tu segues. Segue amigos e os melhores chefs da tua zona, recebe uma notificação quando publicam um prato novo e mantém o teu perfil público ou privado, como preferires. PARTILHA E CONVERSA Envia pratos aos teus amigos ("temos de ir aqui!") por mensagem, em privado ou em grupo - com respostas, reações e a galeria de tudo o que já partilharam. RANKINGS HIPER-LOCAIS O DatDish gira à volta de onde estás. Campeões por categoria, zona, cidade e país - para a lista ser sempre relevante para a tua próxima refeição. CRIA E PARTILHA COLEÇÕES Guarda os pratos que queres experimentar - ou aqueles a que voltas sempre - em coleções. Torna-as públicas e importa as dos outros utilizadores. SOBE ENTRE OS TOP CHEFS Quanto mais contribuis e avalias, mais sobes no ranking de chefs - e desbloqueias badges pelo caminho. Quer estejas à caça do melhor hambúrguer da cidade ou a resolver o eterno debate de "quem faz a melhor francesinha", o DatDish deixa os pratos falarem por si. O melhor prato ganha. Prova. Avalia. Partilha.
