Menu Whisperer

About Menu Whisperer

We believe everyone deserves to have an amazing dining experience, even when the menu is unfamiliar.

Our Mission

Menu Whisperer was born from a simple frustration: staring at a restaurant menu full of unfamiliar dishes and not knowing what to order. Whether you're traveling abroad, trying a new cuisine for the first time, or simply overwhelmed by a lengthy menu, choosing the right dish can feel like a gamble.

Our mission is to take the guesswork out of dining. Using advanced AI, Menu Whisperer analyzes any restaurant menu — from a quick snapshot on your phone to a PDF from a restaurant's website — and recommends the dishes most likely to delight you.

What Drives Us

AI That Understands Food

Our AI doesn't just read menus — it understands culinary concepts. It evaluates ingredient quality, how complex a dish is to prepare (a sign of kitchen skill), and how popular similar dishes tend to be.

Built for Real Diners

We designed Menu Whisperer for real-world use. Snap a photo of a paper menu, paste a URL from a restaurant website, or upload a PDF — our tool handles them all, even menus with imperfect image quality.

Free & Accessible

Great dining experiences shouldn't be gatekept. Menu Whisperer is free to use — no account required, no subscriptions, no hidden fees. Just upload a menu and get recommendations instantly.

Culinary Curiosity

We encourage you to try dishes you might never have considered. Our recommendations often highlight hidden gems — the dishes that regulars know to order but first-time visitors might overlook.

How We Analyze Menus

Menu Whisperer uses Google's Gemini AI to examine your menu. For each dish, the AI considers three factors:

  • 1.Ingredient Value — Are the ingredients high-quality, seasonal, or locally sourced? Dishes featuring premium ingredients tend to offer a better dining experience.
  • 2.Preparation Complexity — Complex dishes that require specialized techniques often showcase a kitchen's true capabilities. A well-executed complex dish is usually a standout.
  • 3.Popularity — Drawing from broad culinary knowledge, the AI estimates how well-received each dish typically is among diners.

By combining these factors, Menu Whisperer surfaces the dishes most likely to give you a memorable meal — not just the most expensive or the most familiar options.
