Food travel, reimagined

Eat like a local.
In every city
on earth.

PlatePass is an AI that scouts authentic restaurants, street food, and hidden culinary gems, so you never eat like a tourist again.

The Problem

The best food in any city is the food tourists never find.

How it works today

  • TripAdvisor ranks tourist traps highest
  • Google Maps optimizes for SEO, not flavor
  • Food blogs take hours to sift through
  • Local guides cost $200+ per city
  • You end up at the same 10 places everyone goes

With PlatePass

  • AI scouts local food sources 24/7
  • Surfaces spots locals actually eat at
  • Personalized to your palate and pace
  • Walking routes, timing, and context included
  • Discovers places before they hit mainstream
How It Works

Your personal food scout, everywhere you go.

01

Tell it where you're going

Drop a city name. PlatePass already knows what's worth eating there, from warung side-streets to Michelin-ignored neighborhood joints.

02

Get a curated food map

Not a list of 200 restaurants. A tight, opinionated selection tailored to your taste, with walking routes and the story behind each dish.

03

Discover what locals know

The AI continuously scouts food creators, local forums, and regional food culture to surface spots months before they trend.
