What is MenuMania?

Menumania aims to connect people with great local eating places.

We provide the menus, but we leave the rest up to you, the community – you rate the restaurants and write the reviews. You already know that asking friends is the best way to find restaurants. Menumania makes it fast and easy by collecting and organizing your friends' recommendations in one convenient place.

MenuMania is built by users for users. Anyone can add restaurants.
Everyone has a different food taste and on MenuMania, anyone can be a food critic. If everyone in your community contributes just a little, everyone will have a great resource and eat better.
MenuMania helps you find where and what to eat.

MenuMania is...

• ...a customizable, community-based restaurant guide built around the all-mighty menu
• ...just real people, writing real reviews, and that's the real deal
• ...a fun and engaging place for passionate and opinionated influencers to share their dining experiences
• ...word of mouth marketing - amplified. Savvy business owners now have a great channel to effectively target local consumers.

Since July 2006, founder Cristian Rosescu and his MenuMania crew have been striving to make life better for people who love to eat out. Discovering new eating places and "what to eat" at restaurants has never been this easy!
