Foreign cuisine. Unfamiliar menu. You order the one dish you recognize, then spend the rest of the night wondering what you missed. Sound familiar?
Ponch was built for that moment.
Browse dishes one at a time, each with a photo, a description that tells you what it tastes like and where it comes from, and flavour profile to help you decide. When something looks right, just swipe right to find the best nearby spots serving it up fresh. And skip anything that doesn't excite you.
We reversed the way you find food.
You pick the dish first. Then we find where to get it. The search looks for specialist venues and places where the dish is a genuine signature. No chains, no tourist traps, no paid placements. When a strong match doesn't exist nearby, we expand the search and tell you we did.
Arriving somewhere soon? Switch to a destination before you land. Browse local dishes, save the ones you want to try, and arrive already knowing where to eat.
Loved something abroad and want to find it at home? Save it and find the closest version to the real thing when you're back.
Ponch. Dozens of cuisines to explore. Thousands of reasons to stay hungry.
Our first major update gives you more control over how you search and what you see.
- Search: find specific dishes or explore entire cuisines. Easily locate tiramisu in Toronto or Japanese desserts in Miami.
- Diets: set your preference - omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian or vegan to view the dishes made for you.
- Allergy flags: select your restrictions (dairy, gluten or nuts) and we’ll flag dishes traditionally made with those ingredients.
