Save restaurants. Log visits. Eat with friends.
Turn Instagram saves and map pins into a living list of places. Track what you thought, write a verdict, and follow friends so you always know where to go next.
How Bento works
- 01
Save a restaurant
Share a post from Instagram, drop in a Google Maps link, or search by name. It lands in your collection.
- 02
Log visits and verdicts
After you go, add a visit with a rating, notes, and photos — or write a short verdict you can stand by.
- 03
Follow along with friends
Keep your account public or private, follow people you trust, and use the feed to decide where to eat next.
Everything you need to actually go out
Save places, remember what you ate, and see where friends are going — without another group chat.
Save from Instagram & Maps
Paste a link from Instagram or Google Maps, or search by name. Bento files the restaurant so you never lose the spot.
Map and filter your spots
See every saved restaurant on a map or in a list. Filter by city, cuisine, visits, rating, and the lists they belong to.
Log visits with photos
Record when you went, how it rated, what you thought, and photos from the meal — a real history for each place.
Write a verdict
Pin your take on a restaurant so friends (and future you) know whether it is worth going back.
Shared lists with friends
Build collections together, share a join code, and set who can add or edit. Follow public lists you like.
Follow friends in the feed
See new visits and verdicts from people you follow, plus trending picks from public accounts. Like the ones you want to try.
Coming soon to iOS
Bento Places is the restaurant journal you actually use — saves, visits, verdicts, and friends. Join the waitlist to be first in line when we launch.
