Where to eat, with the sources shown

Good food, no guesswork.

Simmer List knows what is fully vegan before you go, keeps a plate of what you ate each day, and sends the list to the friend who always asks where to eat.

Every tag says where it came from.

Each place carries one of three tags, and its page names the source behind it in the sentence it opens with.

Fully veganGreen on the map
The whole menu is yours.
Has vegan optionsGold on the map
Part of the menu is yours. Where we have read the menu, its page names the dishes.
Not yet vegan-verified
Nobody has told us yet, so the page says that rather than guess.

Where a tag comes from

A local mapper recorded it in public map data.
A member told us, by adding the place or answering for it. Its page says so.
We set it by hand, from published guides, the venue’s own word, or a tag found out of date. Its page says which.
We inferred it from the venue’s own listing or menu. Its page says so, and that nobody has confirmed it in person yet.

How we know

The Plate

Your plate, every day.

Twenty-three servings a day across eleven foods: beans, berries, greens, whole grains and the rest. Tick each box as you eat, and the day fills in. No lectures, just boxes.

With an account, every food keeps a streak and a month at a glance, with serving sizes and the videos and research behind it.

Log

Dinner, in one field.

Say what you made or where you ate, and it lands in your diary and on your week. Meals at home count too.

The Plate reads the meal and offers the servings it spotted for you to keep. A year from tonight, the diary will remind you where you were, and you can ask it where that dumpling place was.

Tonight

Three ideas for dinner, and why.

Tonight answers the question that comes up around six: where shall we eat? It offers three places near you and weighs them against what the table already ate this week. None of them right? Ask for somewhere else.

Tonight?

What it weighs

Open now
A place that is open gets a lift. One with no hours listed is never treated as closed.
Close by
Nearer places rank higher.
Not what the table just had
Somewhere anyone at the table went this week drops well down, and so does a cuisine anyone ate in the last few days.
Three kinds of kitchen
Where it can, the three ideas come from three different cuisines.
Not the same three again
An idea you passed over sinks a little each day. One you swapped away sinks further.
Somewhere you both went
Eating with a friend? Places you have both been get a nudge.

Signed in, these become three places near you, with a reason wherever there is something to say.

Lists

The list you’ll actually send.

Here are the six places I would take you in Lisbon. Make the list, send it as one link, and anyone can open it, no account needed.

When you are the one visiting, ask the people you follow where to eat instead.

Assistant

Or just tell your assistant.

Connect Claude or ChatGPT to your Simmer List account and talk instead of tapping. You sign in and choose what to share each time you connect a new app.

Pick a city, or pick a craving.

Each city guide gathers the places on the map there and calls out the fully vegan kitchens, so you can see a whole city at once. The food guides do the same the other way round, one kind of kitchen at a time, across every city that has enough of it.
