Map list alternative

A private restaurant map for what you actually ordered.

Google Maps is excellent for finding and saving places. Dishiary is for remembering your own meals at those places.

Dish-level map

Pins are better when they remember the dish.

Dishiary connects restaurant pins to meal photos, notes, grades, visit dates, and order-again choices.

Google Maps lists vs Dishiary

A saved pin tells you where a place is. It cannot tell you what made it worth saving.

Use both tools for the right job
