#GOOGLE MAPS RESTAURANTS MAC#

I haven’t had a Big Mac in more than a decade. I have a 67% match with one of my favourite pizzerias, but a 95% match with a sushi restaurant even though I’m allergic to fish and set sushi as one of my disliked cuisines.Īpparently I should start visiting McDonald’s a lot more, since I have a 91% match with it. To do this you need to open the Google Maps app on your iPhone or iPad, tap Menu then Settings, and under “Exploring place” hit the “Food and Drink” preferences option.īased on my own short tests, matching is rather hit and miss.įor example, I have a 98% match with Tonkotsu in Hackney, but only a 69% match with the same restaurant in a central London location. You can select whether you like or dislike hundreds of cuisines, and even say whether or not a restaurant has a nice view or live entertainment.

The types of cuisine and restaurants you typically visit or avoid.

Any dietary restrictions or cuisines that you list in your preferences.

They’re unique to you and improve over time. Your matches show how well different places fit with your preferences. You can turn it off at any time.ĭig into the link provided and there’s a bit more information: How much you may like a place, based on your interests, ratings and Location History. It does all of this automatically, which begs the question: do you actually want Google using your data in this way? You can disable the feature, but only by turning off Google Location history. It may be because it’s similar to another restaurant you’ve been to, or a particular type of cuisine you appear to enjoy. Tap the match score and Google Maps will explain why it thinks you might like this restaurant. It’s like a dating app for finding the love of your stomach’s life.

This gives you your “match” score in percentage form. Search for restaurants on Google Maps and you may see a small, circular, multi-coloured logo next to some of the listings.

Frequent pizzerias? Then maybe you have a fondness for Italian cuisine. Google has quietly rolled out a new feature on the Maps app for iPhones and iPads that predicts whether or not you’ll like a restaurant, based on your eating habits.
