About CityWaze

Our Mission

How CityWaze chooses restaurants, why the site is free to use, and what we do with your information.

Help people find a great restaurant fast, with picks they can trust.

Endless star ratings, paid placements and fake reviews turned finding a good meal into a chore. CityWaze is the antidote: a small, honest list of restaurants in each city, every one visited in person by a local City Curator.

Curated in person
Every venue is chosen and visited by a local curator. No gamed ratings, no algorithms.
Free for diners
No subscriptions, no ads, no paywalls. You never pay a cent to use CityWaze.
Private by design
No cookies, no trackers, and we never sell your information. Favorites live on your device.
How a restaurant gets listed
  1. 01

    A curator visits in person

    Every venue is chosen and visited by a local City Curator before it appears on CityWaze.

  2. 02

    Listings are solely chosen by the curator

    Restaurant listings cannot be purchased but CityWaze does offer SEO and AI optimization services to restaurants.

  3. 03

    The list is kept current

    Curators go back to the venues they list and keep their city’s picks up to date.
