Are you thinking about trying that new restaurant in the mall, but don't want to waste time driving there only to find it's not to your liking? Perhaps, a new restaurant opened down the street, and you're curious to know what they serve? Meta Flavor does a brilliant job of finding the food you like instantly. Simply enter a cuisine, a restaurant name or just an ingredient. You will be supplied with the menu information of that eatery so that you can browse it to find something that appeals to you right at that moment! That's not all though, Meta Flavor goes one step further by learning your preferences over time, and making suggestions based on them. That is a smart and fascinating feature which makes life so much simpler. No more wasting time driving around and playing the restaurant guessing game. Meta Flavor is a community powered dining application that lets you search and compare millions of restaurants and dishes, learns your unique taste, and makes finding what you want simple! Let's take a look at some of the features and services that Meta Flavor offers:
