About LocalDish — Food Identifier
You're at a restaurant abroad. The menu is in a language you don't speak. You pick something that sounds safe. It arrives — and it's the same generic dish every tourist orders. LocalDish fixes that. Scan any restaurant menu with your camera. In seconds, LocalDish tells you which dishes are genuinely traditional and which ones are made for tourists. No more guessing. No more missing the best food a country has to offer. HOW IT WORKS Point your camera at any menu. LocalDish reads it, identifies every dish, and highlights the ones that locals actually eat. Each dish gets a clear label: traditional, regional specialty, or tourist-oriented. Tap any dish for the full story — what's in it, where it comes from, how it's traditionally prepared, and what to expect. ALLERGEN DETECTION Traveling with food allergies shouldn't mean eating plain rice every night. LocalDish flags potential allergens for every dish on the menu — gluten, nuts, dairy, shellfish, and more. See warnings before you order, not after. WHAT MAKES LOCALDISH DIFFERENT Menu translators tell you what a dish name means. LocalDish tells you whether it's worth ordering. Other apps translate "Schweinshaxe" into "pork knuckle." LocalDish tells you it's a Bavarian classic you shouldn't leave Munich without trying — and that it contains gluten from the beer glaze. That's the difference between reading a menu and understanding a culture. BUILT FOR TRAVELERS WHO CARE ABOUT FOOD Scan menus in 5+ languages (more coming) Covers all countries in the worl and thousands of dishes Allergen warnings for 14 major allergens Regional context: same dish, different tradition depending on the city FREE TO START Download LocalDish and scan your first menus free. For unlimited scans, watch a short video to earn credits — no subscription required. Eat like a local. Avoid the tourist traps.
