How it works

Real places, not ads

Every pick holds a MICHELIN distinction or a James Beard honor, or was checked open by hand for Eats Ranked. No restaurant pays to be here.

Fits your budget

Dinner gets the money first, then lunch, breakfast and a treat. The plan uses a different cuisine each meal and keeps each day's stops close together.

Book it, keep it

Reserve on OpenTable for your date, time and party size, add every meal to your calendar in one tap, or send the plan to whoever you're traveling with.

On your iPhone

The iPhone app plans the same trips as this page, keeps them on your phone and adds meals straight to your calendar. It is coming to the App Store.

FoodTrip on iPhone: choose a city, arrival and departure dates, meals a day and a daily food budget. FoodTrip on iPhone: a 3-day Chicago itinerary with breakfast, lunch and dinner, each with its honor and a Reserve button. FoodTrip on iPhone: swapping dinner for one of the next best picks nearby.

Questions

How does FoodTrip choose restaurants?

Every place holds a MICHELIN Guide distinction or a James Beard Foundation honor, or was checked by hand for Eats Ranked. Chains are left out, and no restaurant pays to be listed.

Is FoodTrip free?

The website is free. In the iPhone app your first 5 trips are free; after that a one-time $1.99 purchase unlocks unlimited trips. There is no subscription.

Does FoodTrip book the table for me?

No. Reserve opens OpenTable's search for that restaurant with your date, time and party size filled in. The reservation is made with the restaurant or its booking service.

Which cities does FoodTrip cover?

More than 40 US cities, including New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, Seattle, Houston, Austin, New Orleans, Miami and Honolulu. A city is added once there are enough picks to fill a few days.

How does the budget work?

You set a food budget per person, per day. FoodTrip picks dinner first, then lunch, breakfast and an afternoon treat, and keeps the day's estimated total inside it. Prices are estimates for food, tax and tip, without drinks.

Can I change the plan?

Yes. Swap replaces one stop with the next best pick and leaves the rest alone. Shuffle makes a whole new plan from the same choices.

Can I add the plan to my calendar or share it?

Yes. Add one meal or every meal to your calendar, at the city's local time. Share sends a link that opens to the same plan.

Does FoodTrip collect my data?

No. There is no account, no analytics and no ads. On the website your trip lives in the page's address; in the iPhone app it stays on your phone.
