We all have that one friend. She has a Notes app list of restaurants she’s dying to try, already knows where everyone should go for dinner and has a reservation booked before the group chat even agrees on a date. I’m that friend. If this sounds like you too, then it might be time to meet Beli.
Beli is a social restaurant app that lets you keep track of everywhere you’ve eaten, rank your favorite spots and save restaurants you want to try. Think of it as your restaurant bucket list, personal food diary and social feed all in one place. And once you start ranking, it’s surprisingly hard to stop. I look forward to it at the end of every meal.
Your Restaurant rankings, all in one place
Forget trying to remember whether you liked that Italian restaurant you went to six months ago. Beli keeps your restaurant history organized for you.
After visiting a restaurant, you can add it to your list and rate your experience. But instead of simply giving every restaurant a start rating and moving on, Beli helps create a personalized ranking of the places you’ve tried. Deciding whether your favorite brunch place deserves a higher ranking than your last night sushi dinner that blew your mind becomes a very serious decision.
The best part? Your rankings are yours. Your friends might be obsessed with a restaurant that barely reached your top 20, and debating who has a better list or review notes is half the fun.
Your “want to try” list finally has a home
We’ve all seen a restaurant on TikTok or Instagram, told ourselves we have to go and then completely forget its name and where it's located two days later.
Beli’s “Want to Try” feature gives all those saved restaurants a permanent home. When you hear about a new spot, you can add it to your list instead of letting it disappear into the black hole of your camera roll, save your camera roll for photos of your food for you to Beli later!
For college students, this can be especially useful. Whether you’re looking for a cute dinner spot near campus, planning where to eat during a weekend trip or already making a list for your next visit home, you can keep everything together in one place.
Your Friends’ Favorites Could Become Your New Favorites
What makes Beli different from a typical restaurant review platform is its social side. You can follow your friends and see where they’ve eaten and their rankings of those places.
And sometimes, your friends’ opinions are exactly what you need. A restaurant can have thousands of online reviews, but knowing that your friend with good taste ranked a spot in her top five? That might be all the convincing you need.
It also makes discovering restaurants feel more personal. Instead of relying solely on reviews from strangers, you can see recommendations from people whose taste you actually know.
Dinner Plans Just Got Easier
The dreaded “Where should we eat?” The question has ended more group chat conversations than we would like to admit. I personally am the most indecisive person ever so this question is my least favorite to be asked.
Beli can make that decision a little easier. Your “Want to Try” list gives you options you’ve already been interested in and Beli offers suggestions based on cuisine and ranking of restaurants in your local area.
And if you're traveling, the app becomes even more useful. Rather than frantically searching “best restaurants in ____” once you arrive, you can start ahead of time and save recommendations and build a food itinerary as you go.
Consider This Your Sign To Start Ranking
At its core, Beli takes something we already love doing, trying new restaurants and talking about them with our friends, and turns it into a social experience.
Whether you consider yourself a full-on foodie or just want somewhere to keep track of the places you love, Beli makes discovering restaurants feel a little more exciting. Just be warned: Once you start ranking every restaurant you visit, you may never be able to simply just “go out to dinner” again.
Your next reservation has officially become a ranking opportunity. Now the only question left is: Where are we eating next?
