Rate dishes,
not restaurants.
Score the poutine, not the place. ate. is a social food journal where every rating is about one specific dish — so you always know which spot makes the city's best of anything.
One dish. One score. One spot.
Every rating in ate. follows the same three moves, so scores across the whole city compare like with like.
Pick the dish
Choose from a curated catalog of 92 dishes — poutine, smoked meat, ramen, tacos and more. No free-text, no apples-to-oranges.
Score it, snap it
Give it 1.0 to 10.0 and add a photo and a note. Your scores build your own ranked list of everything you've eaten.
Attach the spot
Tag the restaurant where you ate it. Your score joins the community average for that exact dish at that exact place.
Straight from the app.
A feed of real plates, not ads.
Friends' bites
Follow people and see what they actually ate, what they scored it, and where — the moment they post it. No sponsored slop in between.
City leaderboards
Every dish type has its own city ranking, built only from real community scores. Find the best butter chicken, not just a well-reviewed restaurant.
Takes & reactions
Drop a take on a friend's bite, heart the plates you agree with, and argue about the score like it matters. It does.
You choose who sees it
Each rating can be public, friends-only, or just for you. Private scores still count toward community averages — anonymously.
Your own ranked history
Every score you give sorts into your personal ranking, dish by dish — a food diary that remembers better than you do.

ate. launches in Montréal — the whole city, every borough — with a dish catalog built for how this city actually eats. The model works anywhere people argue about food, and more cities come later. Read why we built it.
