Description

Download the application for free and purchase each city volume of reviews for only $3.99 each, with a lifetime of free updates!

The definitive guide to eating locally and authentically in several of the world’s greatest food cities, including Istanbul, Athens, Barcelona, Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City – with more to come! Each city volume within the application is purchased separately for $3.99 with free updates to the database forever. Beyond the kebab, souvlaki, tapas, soup dumpling, feijoada or taco – and what you will find listed in most guidebooks for these cities – lies a wide range of unique regional cuisines and restaurants with hints of cooking from all around.

Not helpful, even in Istanbul

GiantDwarf8 on

Weird design for an app. I can’t look up a restaurant by food item or location or even meal offering. The location part of the app doesn’t link to any map app so it’s hard to find the restaurants. Not worth the price and I won’t recommend.

Broken app

mocoopprce on

App repeatedly fails to load Mexico City map and still charged me for the download. Needs serious work.

Outdated

MJLBej on

The reviews would be excellent, if even half of the restaurants reviewed still existed. Was great for Istanbul, absolutely awful for Shanghai.

Way better than trip advisor etc.

Jozzzzzzz on

Best restaurants I went to in Istanbul were found in this app. The highly reviewed spots that you’d find on other apps were not often good, or were too crowded. Love this app. Will try for other cities from now on.

Huh

09rpg on

Lousy. Not well organized. Not worth $4

A good start

Oaklandish on

I love the website. That being said, the Mexico City portion of the app is light. It needs a lot more work. I realize that Mexico City is huge, so for that I will give you a grace period. Once the content improves, I will rate/review again. Until then I will not be suggesting your app to my traveling friends. If you improve the app to be as good as your website, it will be a five star for sure. Fingers crossed!

Best istanbul app out there

Maddyrob on

Update -- rio one has a section dedicated to Olympic area! Will be great in August! So psyched! Update --- love the Barcelona even more than the istanbul one! Offline maps with gps tracker (without roaming) is worth the money alone. Not to mention the excellent content - you won't be sorry that you purchased this one- it's our go to guide in istanbul! Update--- new map interface works even better! Love macs maps!

I love culinary backstreets

Greatdaysinparis on

I read the weekly emails, have used the EatItinerary service and the Athens, Istanbul and Barcelona apps. I have found the information to be spot-on. I appreciate the focus on 'real' food representative of the place and culture. My only criticism is that I'd like to see some general price rating system so you have an idea if you are likely to spend 10 or 40 euro on a meal. Lots of the places covered either don't have websites or don't list prices. Overall a fantastic culinary resource.

App crashes

shahzeeshan on

Overall this was a good app but after the major overhaul it's a bit difficult to maneuver in and now it crashes when you attempt to launch it.

Don't leave home without it!

Roma Chowhound on

A fantastic app for navigating the food scene in Istanbul and Barcelona. Every recommendation is great.
