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. Been There is free.
What’s new
Version 4.12.1 · Updated October 23, 2026
The map, feed and friends' shelves use each person's current rating, so an older visit doesn't keep a place marked Top Spot. Your map stays visible until the next tab is ready. Screens reset after you leave them. Editing a post updates your profile list without reloading it.
