With TrustTheCrowd, we tried to create the first honest restaurant recommendation platform. We analyze millions of reviews from real diners across multiple platforms and blogs. We use AI to filter out irrelevant or fake reviews to focus on genuine experiences. Our scoring system (Pulse Rate) takes into account recent feedback, perceived value, and the overall vibe of each restaurant, ensuring that you get trustworthy, up-to-date recommendations tailored to your preferences.
