Type a town, address, or landmark to load nearby restaurants from community map data. Your cuisine, outing, must-have, and not-tonight picks reorder the list, while distance breaks ties. Each card shows the place-specific details available—such as cuisine, approximate drive, listed hours, takeout or outdoor tags, and the venue or cuisine type used as an outing clue. Those clues are shortlist proxies, not confirmation of atmosphere or family suitability.
The optional Google check adds available ratings, review counts, price bands, photos, descriptions, and listed hours to the comparison; it does not place an order or make a reservation. Use the restaurant website, map, or phone links to confirm the exact location, current menu and service cutoff, whole-party total, diet or allergy handling, accessibility, travel or parking, availability, and booking, ordering, or cancellation terms.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the restaurant list come from?
The base list comes from OpenStreetMap community data through Geoapify. Names, locations, cuisines, hours, diet tags, and access details are only as complete and current as each listing. Missing tags stay unknown rather than counting against a place; confirm the final restaurant directly.
What does "Full search with ratings & reviews" do?
It runs a live search for your criteria and location and may merge returned ratings, review counts, price bands, photos, descriptions, and listed hours into the comparison. It is a snapshot, not verification of the current menu, service window, availability, or terms. Signed-in users get a daily search allowance; the base list still works without it.
Can it handle dietary needs?
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, and kosher can be must-have picks. They use known listing tags, which may be incomplete; soften a pick if you want to keep unknowns in comparison. Confirm current preparation and cross-contact handling directly, especially for an allergy.
How accurate are the hours and details?
Treat every listing as a starting point. Confirm the exact restaurant and address, service and kitchen or order cutoff, current menu and whole-party total, diet or allergy handling, accessibility, travel and parking, availability, and booking, ordering, or cancellation terms before you pay or leave.
