When you are travelling you need an app to find good restaurants. And off course there is Google Maps. But that's what everybody uses, and there choices might not be the ones a real foodlover enjoys. And what Tripadvisor or TheFork offer is often in the same league as Google Maps.

A long time ago my to-go app was Foursquare. With a lot of check-ins and dedicated lists of places to eat. But Foursquare is gone, and the successor Swarm has a different purpose.

The apps I use now are World of Mouth , Le Fooding and European Coffee Trip

World of Mouth

This app I discovered only recently. It's an app where chefs and professional foodies share their restaurant picks. But you can also add your own reviews and tips. You can do a check-in (like in Foursquare) or create a wish-list of restaurants you like to visit. The number of restaurants is lower than Google or Tripadvisor, but definitely a good app to find something a bit more special.

Le Fooding

This is the one you need when visiting France. Nice restaurants, but also shops with nice produce. On the website you can read nice stories about restaurants, and they even have a restaurant guide on paper (for France, but also one for Belgium) Also here, number of restaurants is small compared to Tripadvisor, but quality is high.

European Coffee Trip

If you love specialty coffee this is the app you need. And shops with specialty coffee can often be found in the nicest area of a town, so it's also an app to discover the best neighbourhoods of a city.

There are alse websites that help you discover restaurants. If you are in The Netherlands (or more specific Rotterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht or Amsterdam) then the to-go website to find a restaurant is De Buik.

If you have come across other websites or apps for restaurant discovery, or finding the best places for foodies please leave a comment below.
