Restaurant recommendations should feel personal
TheKnow gives restaurant picks from people who eat like you. It finds the people whose ratings line up with yours, then shows you what they love.
Our mission
We believe that finding great restaurants shouldn't be left to chance or crowds. Traditional review sites aggregate opinions from thousands of strangers, people with different tastes, preferences, and standards than you.
TheKnow takes a different approach. We find your taste matches: real people who rate places the way you do. The closest of them are your taste twins. When they find a new favorite, it shows up in your recommendations.
Curated by taste. Not by crowds.
How taste matching works
1
Rate restaurants
Share your honest opinions on places you've been. Your ratings build your unique taste profile.
2
Find taste matches
We compare your ratings with everyone who rated the same places, looking at two things: whether you rank places the same way, and whether your scores land close.
3
Get recommendations
See what your taste matches love. Their favorites become your personalized recommendations.
What we believe
Taste is personal
A burger regular and a tasting-menu regular are equally right about what they love. Each of them gets their own people.
Quality over quantity
One recommendation from someone who shares your taste beats a thousand generic reviews.
Honesty matters
Rate what you actually think. Your ratings decide who your taste matches are, so a fake rating only matches you with the wrong people.
Discovery is joy
Finding a new favorite restaurant should feel exciting, not overwhelming.
