What does it cost, and can I cancel?
$34.99 a year (plus tax), with the first seven days free. We’ll email you before your trial ends, and if you cancel before then you won’t be charged. After that, cancel any time to stop your membership renewing; payments already made aren’t refunded. Every city is included.
Is it really every restaurant?
We strive to include every restaurant in every city we cover, and we check regularly for openings and closings, but we can’t guarantee we have every one. If we’ve missed a place, tell us and we’ll add it.
Which cities?
42, on five continents: New York City, Amsterdam, Atlanta, Austin, Barcelona, Berlin, Boston, Buenos Aires, Charleston, Chicago, Copenhagen, Dallas, Denver, Florence, Hong Kong, Houston, Las Vegas, Lima, Lisbon, London, Los Angeles, Madison, Madrid, Mexico City, Miami, Milan, Nashville, New Orleans, Paris, Philadelphia, Portland, Rome, San Diego, San Francisco, San Sebastián, Seattle, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto and Washington DC. One membership covers all of them, with no city add-ons.
Do you rate or rank restaurants?
Never. We show you what the critics wrote, from The Infatuation, Michelin, Eater, The New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler and many more, with their name on it and a link to the original. We don’t score anyone. You read the source and decide.
How does the food-video feature work?
Paste a link from Instagram, TikTok or YouTube into the iPhone app, and every restaurant the video names comes back as a list, with what we have on each: the critics’ reviews, hours, map and how to book.
Do I need the iPhone app?
No. Sanders Guide works the same on the website and in the app, with one exception: turning a food video from Instagram, TikTok or YouTube into a list of restaurants happens in the app. One membership covers both.

Is this just another reservation app?
No. A reservation app only shows you restaurants that take bookings through it. In NYC, that’s several thousand restaurants across Resy, OpenTable, Tock and SevenRooms combined. Sanders Guide has nearly 30,000 NYC restaurants, and most of them don’t take bookings on any of those apps: the taqueria, the pizza counter, the bakery, the bar with the great burger. Wherever the leading critics have written about a place, you’ll see who and can read the review. And you can:
- Tap any mix of neighborhoods on our interactive maps and see every restaurant in them at once.
- Know exactly when the hardest tables open, with a reminder so you’re first in line.
- Turn a food video into a list. In the app, paste a link from Instagram, TikTok or YouTube and get every restaurant it names, in seconds.
- Walk and discover: the restaurants within a block of you, updating as you go.
- Get something great delivered, not the same three places, on DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub.
- Keep your own lists: places you want to try, places you’ve been, and the dishes you loved.
And when a place does take bookings, one tap takes you to its page on Resy, OpenTable, Tock, SevenRooms, TheFork and many more.
Do you take the booking, or send me somewhere else?
We send you straight to the restaurant’s real booking page, on whatever platform it uses: Resy, OpenTable, Tock, SevenRooms, TheFork and many more. One tap, no retyping, no second account.
What if a restaurant doesn’t take bookings online?
You still get everything else we have on it, like its address, phone, hours, menu and the critics’ reviews, wherever they’re available. Plenty of the best places in any city don’t take reservations, and they’re in here too.
Do you copy the reviews?
No. We name the publication and link to its own page. We don’t reproduce anyone’s words or photos. Some publications need their own subscription to read in full.
How do booking reminders work?
For restaurants that release tables on a schedule, Sanders Guide shows the restaurant’s own rule and when booking opens. Pick your date and one tap puts it on your calendar, with an alert and a link straight to the booking page, so you’re first in line.
Can I paste a list or a photo?
Yes. Paste a friend’s list, or snap a photo or screenshot of any list, and we find every restaurant on it. This works on the website and in the app.
What is walking mode?
It shows the restaurants within a block of you, re-sorting as you walk. You can widen it up to ten blocks.
