The Restaurant Finder

‍
Pick a food and a city, and see the restaurants Instagram and TikTok creators are actually filming, eating at, and talking about — ranked by real creator consensus, with the clips to prove it.

What it does

This free tool scans thousands of recent Instagram and TikTok videos to find the restaurants creators genuinely rave about in a given city. Instead of a paid "top 10" listicle, you get the spots that keep coming up across food creators' videos — each one backed by the actual footage, view counts, and the quotes where the place is mentioned.

How it works

1. Pick a craving — pizza, sushi, ramen, tacos, brunch, steak, and more (or just "any food").
2. Enter a city — London, New York, Barcelona, wherever you're eating.
3. Get the ranking — the tool searches short-form video across Instagram and TikTok, then surfaces the most-recommended restaurants for that food in that city.

It works by combining two signals most searches ignore: AI vision, which recognises the dish on screen, and spoken-word transcripts, which catch what creators actually say out loud in the video. Every result shows how many videos recommend the spot, the total views behind it, and short excerpts pulled straight from the creators — so you see the receipts, not just a name on a list.

Why it's different

Most "best restaurants" lists are written once, rarely updated, and often paid for. This tool reads what creators are posting right now, so the recommendations reflect current buzz and genuine word-of-mouth. And because it analyses both what's shown on screen and what's said in the clip, it surfaces places a caption-only or hashtag search would miss entirely.

Who it's for

• Anyone deciding where to eat — in a new city or their own.
• Food lovers who trust creators over ads and sponsored lists.
• Brands, agencies, and marketers who want to see how a restaurant, cuisine, or location actually shows up across social video.
