Personal taste profiling

Discover restaurants through your palate, not the algorithm.

Most platforms build off popularity rather than compatibility. gastrono-me builds you a personal taste profile to match you to a restaurant you'll actually enjoy.

The problem

Food discovery is broken.

You search for "best restaurants near me" and get a list ranked by everyone else's preferences. But taste is personal — and the tools we use to find food ignore that completely.

4.7stars

Average ratings flatten individual preference. A 4.7-star restaurant might be perfect for someone else and mediocre for you.

"Best"for who?

Social proof is not the same as personal fit. The most popular restaurant in your city might not match your palate at all.

"Italian"is not enough

Cuisine labels are too broad. You don't like all Italian food — you like specific flavours, textures, and preparations.

How it works

From your palate to your plate.

Why taste is personal

Your palate is more specific than a cuisine label.

Preference is shaped by biology, experience, and behaviour. It's not just about what cuisines you like — it's about how you experience flavour, texture, and the act of eating itself.

Discover your taste profile

Bitterness tolerance

Some people crave dark chocolate and espresso. Others avoid them entirely.

Spice affinity

Your chilli threshold is genetic, cultural, and deeply personal.

Richness preference

Butter, cream, fat — some palates seek it out, others feel overwhelmed.

Texture openness

From silky to crunchy to chewy — texture shapes enjoyment more than most realise.

Novelty seeking

The pull between comfort and exploration defines how you choose where to eat.

Social context

How you eat with others — crowd-pleasing vs. independent — shapes your dining life.

Your taste profile

See yourself in a new way.

Your taste profile maps 10 dimensions of how you experience food — from spice tolerance to social dining behaviour. It's not a personality test. It's a flavour fingerprint.
