About Been There: Restaurant Journal
Remember every place worth going back to.
Been There keeps the restaurants, cafés, pubs and bars you've been to on your own map, with photos and notes from every visit. There are no star ratings. You say whether you'd go back, and see where your friends would.
Add a spot
Search for the place, say how it was and add a photo if you like. Three choices, from Not for me to Top Spot, and no scores to agonise over.
Remember every visit
See each visit by the day you went, with your photos, your notes and who you were with. Your notes keep what you ordered last time.
Your own map
Every spot you've been to, on a map of photo pins. Browse by country, from the café round the corner to the bar you found on holiday.
Crown your favourites
Mark your Top Spots so they stand out on your map and your profile.
Find places through friends
Follow friends to see where they've been, what they thought and who they went with. When you need somewhere to eat, start with your friends' spots.
Places near you
Discover shows the spots around you from the people you follow, so you can find somewhere good nearby.
Private if you want
Keep your profile private and approve who can follow you.
Use it as your restaurant journal, your list of favourites and your map of where to eat next, from brunch to the pub round the corner. You can also save places you want to try.

What’s new
Version 4.13.2 · Updated November 3, 2026
Finding your first spot is easier, with nearby places to choose from and a way to come back later. Tagged friends stay visible in post previews, accepted follow requests stay in place, and you can open a place from your visits. This update also improves place search and map display.
User reviews
It is a good application idea.
Great concept for an app that allows you to get reviews from people you know and trust. UI is good and the app runs well, well done guys!
Huge fan of this app and the idea behind it. very friendly UX and love seeing where my family and friends recommend eating. it's a must have in my opinion.
Really well made app and super useful - can see it keep getting even better with more users
what a fantastic little app! it's great to see what my mates are up to - I trust them so much more than some randomer on Google... although you can trust this review 😂.
