Vimini with friends

Restaurant recommendations from friends you trust.

A five-star average from strangers rarely tells you whether a restaurant is right for you. Vimini starts with the people whose taste you know: read their viminis, decide together in chat, and see who eats out the most.

Everything is better with friends

Trusted viminis

Your Home shows your friends’ viminis with ratings, photos, and notes. On the map, choose whether to see your places, your friends’, or your wider network.

Chat that decides

Share restaurant cards, viminis, and lists in direct or group chats, and run a poll to settle where to eat.

A leaderboard of friends

See the top 20 ranked by the viminis they have saved, among your friends or across your network.
