Create your own culinary guide!

It's true, reputable culinary guides and online customer reviews do exist so, what's the point of making one as well?

Well, first, if gastronomic guides are famous and able to test thousands of restaurants every year to reference the best, the Michelin, the Gault & Millau or the Bib Gourmand are still guides : they have their own identity. From this identity derives a set of criterias and preferences used to evaluate restaurants.

This is why there is not only one guide. The Michelin is reknown for its "macarons", its attachment to "la Haute Gastronomie", a certain technicality and standing, while the Bib Gourmand looks for restaurants with the best value for money.

So guides have an identity and we can trust them to make our choices, but this identity may not fit us.

Conversely, online reviews made by customers have neither indentity nor base. Specifically, where a guide tests several restaurants once, online reviews only rate one establishment several times. Moreover, not all reviews are reliable and it can be difficult to trust them since the reviewer is unknown to us. We don't know the reviewer's tastes and criterias or even worse, it can be a review made for a commercial purpose

You enjoy eating, testing new restaurants wherever you are? Then, why not creating a guide, a database, containing all the restaurants you have tested according to your criteria or those you have chosen with friends?
After all, if an anonymous review on a site doesn't often appeal to you, when a friend says, "Hey mate! I went to XXX yesterday, you should go one day: it was delicious!", this review is worth it.
Do you like "bistro", "étoilés", "bouibouis", street food, Indian food, Chinese food or maybe all that? Don't worry !

Thanks to this application you will be able to :

• set the criteria you want
• keep all the place you or your friends have ever tested
• refine your tastes, put better words on your sensations than just say "oh that was good" every time
• get some fun by creating something and wandering around in order to find news places to test

Think about it, the guide that suits you best: it's yours!

The structure is quite simple, it will only need :

• a Glitch project (link)
• a Firebase account (link)
• some skills in HTML/CSS
• Skeleton grid (link)

Then it's like a cooking recipe!

• Create your Glitch account, then your project and add the basics (webpage's stylesheet, google font etc) like this:


• Create your database thanks to Firebase, add all the criterias you want.


• Link this database to your glitch project by pasting this text in your HTML and the second in your JS!



• You can now "querry" any information you want, such as restaurants starred "*****"!
