Eat like a local, not like a tourist.
LocalBite is your food-savvy travel companion for the Costa d
el Sol. Point your camera at any Spanish menu and in three seconds get every dish translated, ingredients listed, allergens flagged — plus an honest verdict on whether the place is worth your time.
Why LocalBite?
The Costa del Sol gets 13 million visitors a year. Tourist traps have figured that out. Menus printed only in English, photos of every dish, €22 paella served with sangria-by-the-bucket — the tells are obvious once you know them. LocalBite reads the menu for you and tells you honestly: local, mixed, or trap.
What you can do:
• Scan any menu — Spanish, English, French, Italian, German. Google Gemini reads it and returns every dish translated to English, Polish, or Spanish, with ingredients and likely allergens.
• Get a tourist-trap score — Local, Mixed, or Trap. With specific reasons ("English-only menu, dish photos, paella in Andalusia with no local context" — or "Menu entirely in Spanish, espetos and pescaíto frito — classic chiringuito").
• Discover 127+ vetted restaurants — From Málaga to Estepona, hand-picked by people who live here. No paid listings. No sponsored results. Just places we would send a friend.
• Save your favorites — Build personal collections (Beach lunches, Date dinners, Vegan) and keep a history of every menu you scanned.
• Works in three languages — LocalBite speaks English, Polish, and Spanish.
Private by design.
No account to create. No tracking. No advertising SDKs. Menu photos are processed in real-time and not stored on our servers. Your favorites, collections, and scan history live on your phone — delete the app and they're gone with it.
Free to use.
No paywall, no subscription, no "pro tier". Just the app.
