Do you like trying new restaurants and bars? How about exploring your city? Do you want to take your friends to eat at the trendiest and tastiest places?
If you haven’t heard of this app yet, here’s an introduction to Beli. Simply put, Beli is an app that lets you keep track of every restaurant, coffee shop, bar, and dessert spot you’ve ever been to. Beli was created and founded by a couple whose relationship revolved around trying new restaurants together in their city. They wanted to find the best reviews and locations, but were having trouble finding reliable feedback.
By creating organized lists and maps of all your locations, Beli makes eating out incredibly easy to enjoy, reflect on, and look forward to. If you bookmark the restaurants you want to try, you can check the restaurants you want to go to next!
If you’re like me, you can barely even remember what you had for breakfast yesterday. Apps that allow you to write down where you’ve been and what you enjoyed can help you appreciate every aspect of eating out. Since using the app, I’ve started to care more about a restaurant’s ambiance, service, menu creativity, and, of course, how likely I am to recommend a spot to a friend. Take your dining out to the next level and the possibilities are endless.
If you love to travel, Beli is also a great way to reminisce about restaurants you’ve been to around the world. Even if you’re a stay-at-home person, there are billions of categories you can explore for restaurants near you right on the app.
One of my favorite features of Beli is that you can rank your food, review it, and upload photos so you can see what’s a hit and what’s a miss. This allows you to create a list of your favorite restaurants to your least favorite and compare all the spots you’ve eaten at. Not only that, Beli is a fun and exciting way to connect with friends, see what restaurants they’re enjoying, and see where you can plan your next outing.
One day last year, my friends Dana and Mackenzie begged me to download this app. It’s no exaggeration to say that Beli has become an obsession of mine. Eating out has become even more fun since using Beli, and I can now find restaurants I wouldn’t have known about without the app!
Well, what are you waiting for? Download the app and rank your restaurants!
