Scan any menu and get every dish explained in plain English — not just translated — plus what to order for your taste. Point your camera and order like a local.
Point your camera at any menu — foreign abroad or just unfamiliar at home — and get more than a translation. MenuLens explains every dish in plain English: what it is, how it's cooked, what it tastes like. Then it tells you what to order.
Generic translators give you word salad. MenuLens reads the whole menu and builds a card for every dish, so you order on purpose instead of pointing at random.
WHAT YOU GET
- Scan a menu and get dish-by-dish cards: the original name, a plain-English explanation, a flavor and texture read, and an anchored heat scale.
- "Order this" picks 2-3 dishes for your taste — spice tolerance, dietary patterns, and how adventurous you are — each with the reason it fits.
- Advisory allergen flags mark dishes that likely contain what you've flagged, with the ingredient-level reason. Flagged dishes are shown, never hidden — always confirm with your server.
- See a photo of an unfamiliar dish before you commit to ordering it.
- Price context in your home currency, plus whether a dish is a snack, an individual plate, or meant for the table.
- Every scan is saved to your history and readable offline, so the menus you've decoded travel with you.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Photograph the menu — multi-page menus welcome.
2. MenuLens reads it and turns it into a card for every dish.
3. Set your taste profile once, and every menu after gets picks matched to you.
WHO IT'S FOR
Built for the traveler ordering in Tokyo or Lisbon, and for anyone facing a Sichuan, Ethiopian, or omakase menu at home who wants to order confidently instead of guessing.
