PROJECT

Not a normal guide is the perfect companion to nail that first dinner with your in-laws, or land that commission at lunch with your clients. From Paris to Athens all the way to Bogotá and Mexico City, our wannabe Michelin-star chef mindset found itself both unsatisfied by inconclusive reviews and disappointed by the search results when looking at guides to find the special spot for that special craving. So we decided to create our own.

You may be asking yourself what it is that makes this guide different. Well, the magic is in our filters: created to truly understand what it is that you are longing for, and provide recommendations specifically tailored to the vibe, occasion and cuisine you are craving. How? Choose your city, tick your filters, and let us do the rest. Not a normal guide is meant for all of those with an inner food critic and in search for something more. If that sounds like you, then welcome to the not-so-normal guide.

VALUES

WE LOVE FOOD

If you’re part of the people that eat just to survive, then this guide may not be for you. We eat to fuel our body and our soul, we find pleasure in tasting a homemade meallike the one your grandmother cooks, and we get excited to sip an extraordinary cup of coffee that’s not absurdly overpriced.

WE UNDERSTAND YOU

Help us get to know you. Our filters, carefully curated to truly understand your cravings and share the spots we know your soul, your belly and your wallet will thank you for.

Sense of community

“made for you by you”, that’s the whole point. Your personal spot discoveries are what nurtures this guide, because no one understands the pleasure of finding a great spot more than another fellow food critics.

Straight to the point

When you’re hungry there’s no time to waste. We keep it short and sweet with structured reviews so you don’t have to read through chaotic comments (and still not understand them)
