The short answer
mood eats suggests 5 dishes from your mood, the weather and your cravings, each with a recipe or a way to find it nearby. If you mostly eat out, FeedMii is the closest alternative: it narrows you to one dish with swipe cards or a wheel and then lists nearby places that serve it, and it also handles drinks, diet filters and local dishes when you travel. NomBot returns three nearby places in one tap. Restaurant Roulette and Food Flip pick a restaurant rather than a dish. What to Eat In is for learning a country's signature dishes.
Disclosure: FeedMii publishes this page. Ratings and prices are from the US App Store on October 27, 2026 and may change.
