Restaurant journal app
A restaurant journal that remembers every dish.
DishDelish is a foodie journal for people who eat out. Log where you went, score each dish out of 10, add a line of why and a photo, and next time you'll know exactly what to order.
Why keep a restaurant journal
Because "that place was good" doesn't help at the table. A restaurant journal turns every meal out into something you can use: the dish that was a 9, the one to skip, the spot you meant to go back to. After a few months it's a personal guide to your city that no review site can match, because it's written by the one person whose taste you trust completely.
What goes in each entry
- The restaurant, found and pinned on your map for you.
- Every dish you ordered, each with its own score out of 10.
- One line of why per dish: "sauce incredible, portion small."
- Photos of the plates, so the dish comes back with the score (Pro).
- An overall score for the visit, worked out from the dishes.
Short on time? With Pro, describe the meal in a sentence, typed or dictated, and AI fills in the dishes, scores, notes, cuisine and restaurant. You check it and tap Save.
A journal, not a diet log or a social feed
Most "food diary" apps are calorie counters. DishDelish has no calories, macros or weigh-ins anywhere. And unlike social apps such as Beli, there's no feed and no followers: it's a private restaurant diary. (If you want a social app, here are apps like Beli worth a look.)
Finding it again
A journal is only useful if you can find things in it. Search every dish and restaurant as you type, filter by cuisine, minimum score, or location, and see everywhere you've eaten on one map. At the end of the year, insights show your top places, favourite cuisines, and your best and worst dishes. And Pro exports the whole journal as a CSV whenever you like.
Start with your next meal
You don't need to backfill anything. Log the next meal you eat out, in about ten seconds at the table. Here's the simple system that makes it stick.
Questions about keeping a restaurant journal
What is a restaurant journal?
A record of where you ate, what you ordered, and what you thought of each dish. Unlike a public review site, it is written for you: the point is to know what to order next time.
Is this a food diary for calories?
No. DishDelish has no calories, macros or weigh-ins. It is a foodie journal for eating out, not a diet tracker.
Can anyone else see my journal?
No. There is no feed, no followers and no public profile. Your journal is private.
How much does it cost?
The journal is free with unlimited reviews and dishes. Pro is $4.99/year (or $9.99 once with Pro Forever) and adds AI-written reviews, photos, the map, insights and CSV export.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. DishDelish runs on iPhone and iPad today.
