Made in Sydney

The good stuff is closer than you think.

Most food apps show you the same twenty places in the city. BiteScout starts with your suburb, the home bakers, dessert kitchens and small shops a few minutes from your door.

Why it's different

Built around where you actually are.

The whole app is organised by distance from your suburb, so a great spot ten minutes away doesn't get buried under places you'd never drive to.

Local first

Your home feed leads with spots within five kilometres of your suburb, sorted nearest first. If there's nothing that close, it widens to ten.

Open right now

Tonight's Picks puts places that are actually open at the front, so you're not planning around a closed kitchen.

Worth the drive

Well reviewed spots further out get their own section, the ones people say are worth going out of your way for.

Real ratings

Star ratings come from people who actually reviewed the place. Nothing is bought, and ranking isn't for sale.

Map and search

Browse everything on a map, or search by dish, suburb or business name when you already know what you want.

Your own lists

Save spots to favourites, mark places you want to try, and group them into lists that make sense to you.

For small kitchens

The places that never get found.

Sydney's best food is often coming out of a home kitchen in a suburb no guide covers. Those businesses can't outspend a chain on advertising, but they can be easy to find.

Listing on BiteScout is free, takes a few minutes, and puts you in front of people who live nearby and are looking for exactly what you make.
