The world is crowded with restaurants, finding one is not the hard part—finding the right one is. This is where Ohyummy.com comes in. Ohyummy is a massive database of viable restaurant choices in Canada, allowing potential diners the chance to narrow in on something that fits them—whether it’s price, atmosphere, cuisine, location or all of the above. The search engine Ohyummy categorizes restaurants by these descriptors (among many others), helping diners to narrow down choices, and find the right one. Ohyummy provides a detailed search option to narrow down restaurants in your area, including cuisine type, name, road, intersection, promotion options, reputation, popularity, age, authenticity, wireless Internet access, average price, and so on. There are various ways to find what you are looking for, or something that you didn’t even know existed. Let’s say you have a taste for a particular dish, or chef, there are numerous tabs on the homepage to pull up options, includes ones to fulfill this request. “Pulled Pork”, “Cupcakes”, “Caterpillar Roll”— options abound for whatever your taste is that day, or night. Narrowing the search even further you can select options that are ‘franchise’, ‘independent’ or ‘fast food’. If you don’t even know what you are looking, not a problem-- try some recommended options using links to ‘featured restaurants’, ‘popular restaurants’, ‘featured dishes’ and ‘top restaurants’—get in the know, see what the buzz is about and expand your taste horizons. When you find a restaurant you are interested in Ohyummy lets you look at the profile which includes location, BYOW (Bring Your Own Wine) options, authenticity level, map and driving directions, ‘words to customers’, entertainment available and ‘manager’s notes’. If you still aren’t convinced read a customer review. Ohyummy banks reviews, found under ‘feedback’, storing as much helpful information for restaurant browsers. This is a great way to get a first hand feel of the restaurant to see if it is right for the big anniversary dinner, the business luncheon or the semi-awkward possibilities that come with a blind date. Maybe you don’t have a lot of money to spend on eating out, or you prefer the comfort of your own home but don’t have time, or don’t want, to cook— no problem here either. Ohyummy is also a database for take-out and delivery. It goes as far as allowing you to place your order through the site. If you do want to venture out of the house or office, the site lets you make reservations through them as well. These conveniences make the experience easy and enjoyable; you can satisfy your hunger while learning about new restaurants, chefs, food trends, entertainment options and more, within your community or vacation/travel spot. The crew at Ohyummy has thought of everything a potential diner might, as well as things we’d never thought to narrow a search by, like BYOW. This is a great way to minimize costs at a big group dinner or birthday outing, where many young people are bound to throw down plastic cards at the end of the meal-- making the split somewhat precarious. Taking the time to search with Ohyummy is a personal experience as well. You can blog on their site and store search and dining-experience information in your own database known as ‘My Ohyummy’. The site is well-laid out and user friendly, bringing a much-needed resource to Canada’s restaurant scene. If you love food, you’ll love Ohyummy.
