Point your phone at the menu.

You are sitting down somewhere you don't read the language, holding a card of dishes you can't order from. Foretaste photographs it, translates every dish, tells you what it will taste like, and draws it — so you can order the thing you actually want.

How it works

1 · Photograph the menu Camera or photo library. One picture of the card in front of you.

2 · Read it in your language Every dish translated, with its ingredients, a six-flavour taste profile, and a heads-up when it touches something you avoid.

3 · See it before you order A picture of each dish, always labelled with where it came from — AI-generated, a reference photo, or a placeholder. A drawn dish is never passed off as a photograph of your restaurant's plate.

What we're straight about

Allergens are a starting point, not a clearance

Ingredient and allergen lists come from a language model reading a photograph of a menu. They are useful, and they are not a substitute for asking the restaurant. Foretaste says so on every screen that shows one. If someone at your table has an allergy, confirm with the staff — every time.
