The goal is Yum!
The world's first dish-level food discovery and social dining platform. Find the best dishes — not just restaurants. Launching soon in Lisbon.
Existing platforms review restaurants — we review dishes. Because the best khachapuri might not be at the highest-rated restaurant.
Umami was created by food lovers who were frustrated with the same old problem: you know exactly what dish you're craving, but no platform can tell you where to find the best version of it.
We're building apps that connect people to things they care about — starting with the most universal joy of all: incredible food. Based in Lisbon, Portugal, we're on a mission to change how the world discovers and shares culinary experiences.
Umami is the umbrella brand, with two products designed to serve both sides of the table: UmamiFinder for food lovers and UmamiKitchens for restaurants.
"Where's the BEST khachapuri near me?" You know what you want — but no platform finds dishes, only restaurants.
"What are the top trending DISHES here?" When traveling, you want dish-level insights from locals, not generic lists.
"Help me discover something amazing!" Intelligent AI-powered suggestions based on your taste, weather, and what's trending.
One ecosystem serving food lovers and the restaurants they love — connected through the dishes that bring them together.
