Ideal for: RestaurantsCafés & barsTerracesCoffee shopsStreet food & markets
Short answer
- A food map puts restaurants, cafés and terraces on one map as clickable points, each with a photo and a description.
- No code needed: type the addresses in, or import a list you already have.
- Categories like lunch, terrace, coffee or fine dining decide what visitors filter on.
- Share the map as a link, or embed it on your guide or city website.
- Free to start; a custom domain and removing our branding are in the paid plans.
