Creation of an app to discover the best restaurants in Quebec

Tastet is the Quebec food guide: more than 3 million unique readers, according to Tastet, and more than 1,400 selected venues, with no restaurant paying to be listed. Its web app and its iOS and Android apps serve the general public, and a white-label web version equips partners such as Destination Québec cité and Air France.

Context and challenges

Tastet started as a media outlet: articles and lists of good restaurants. It wanted to turn that into a digital platform, with a map, filters, lists and online booking, on mobile as well as on the web. The project grew: a free app for all of Quebec, an appearance on Dragons’ Den, and a white-label B2B version so that other organizations can offer the guide to their customers.

What we did

An iOS and Android app

Map, search, filters and lists, published on the App Store and Google Play and updated regularly.

A web version

A web app and a showcase site to find restaurants from a browser.

Booking

Online booking with Libro and OpenTable, and the move of the app to free access.

A version for partners

A white-label web version that can be deployed in a partner’s colours: a map for Destination Québec cité and, according to Tastet, a guide to the best restaurants for Air France in Montreal and Toronto.
