Heading to Europe this summer? Point your camera at any menu in Italy, Greece, Spain or France and know exactly what you're ordering before the waiter comes back.
"Spaghetti alla Nerano." Your phone will translate that as... "spaghetti alla Nerano."
It's fried zucchini, basil and provolone del Monaco, melted into a sauce on the Amalfi Coast. Courgette pasta. You'd have read straight past it and ordered the carbonara.
Translation gives you the name. Menu Explain gives you the dish.
WHAT YOU GET, ONE PHOTO AT A TIME
- Every dish explained. Ingredients, cooking method, and what actually arrives at the table.
- See it before you order it. Reference images of what the dish typically looks like.
- Any menu, any language. Italian, Spanish, French, Japanese, Greek, Portuguese, Thai, Turkish, Korean and more.
- Possible allergen flags for nuts, shellfish, dairy, gluten and other common triggers, called out dish by dish.
- Heads-up on the surprises. Organ meats, raw preparations and dishes that run hot, flagged before you commit.
THE THINGS A MENU DOESN'T TELL YOU
That Thai green curry is almost certainly made with shrimp paste. The romesco alongside it is thickened with almonds. Neither ingredient appears on the menu, in any language.
Menu Explain reads the dish, not just the word.
FOR THE TRAVELER WHO WANTS TO ORDER THE GOOD THING, NOT THE SAFE THING
Point, scan, understand, order.
Menu Explain reads the menu, not the kitchen. Descriptions, images and allergen flags are informed estimates based on the dish name and can be wrong. If you have a serious allergy, always confirm with restaurant staff.
