Every meal should be delicious.

TheKnow uses a sophisticated algorithm based on Pearson correlation to find users whose restaurant ratings match yours. When you rate restaurants, we compare your ratings with other users. If your ratings correlate strongly (meaning you tend to agree on restaurants), you become "taste matches." Recommendations from your closest taste matches are weighted more heavily in your personalized feed.

Unlike apps that show you generic crowd ratings, TheKnow finds people who share your specific taste preferences. Instead of trusting thousands of strangers with different palates, you get recommendations from people whose ratings correlate with yours. This means when your top taste match loves a restaurant, you're much more likely to love it too.

Start by rating restaurants you've tried during onboarding. The more restaurants you rate, the better we can match you with taste matches. Once you have taste matches, browse your personalized "For You" feed to see restaurants your taste matches have rated highly. You can also filter by cuisine, price, location, and confidence level to find exactly what you're looking for.

Yes, TheKnow is completely free to join and use. We believe everyone deserves great restaurant recommendations based on their unique taste. There are no hidden fees, premium tiers, or paywalls. Just sign up, rate some restaurants, and start discovering your perfect matches.
