Have you ever sat at a restaurant, staring at a menu with no pictures — maybe in a foreign language or full of fancy food jargon — and just hoped for the best?

That happened to me more times than I care to admit. I’d spend 10 minutes Googling dish-names, trying to guess what I’ll actually get. By the time I order, I’m either disappointed or stuck with something I don’t want.

That’s why I spent the last year building FoodieLens — a simple web app that turns any menu (local diner, dive bar, sushi joint, or ramen alley abroad) into a visually clear, easy-to-scan — and often translated — digital menu with real pictures of dishes.

How it works in two taps

Snap or upload a photo of a restaurant’s menu.

Instantly get:

Translated menu items (100+ languages)

Real photos of dishes (or AI-generated ones when needed)

Clean, organized view of menu items for quick scanning

No more guessing. No more ordering something just because the name sounds “safe.”

Who it’s for

Travelers — exploring menus in new languages.

Food explorers — trying unfamiliar cuisines or fancy restaurants.

Anyone who got burned by ordering something weird just because of vague menu descriptions.

Pricing without friction

10 free menu uploads — no credit card required.

Free translation & image search for unlimited menus.

Paid plan only if you want heavy usage or AI-generation tokens.

If you hate ordering blind — whether at home or abroad — give FoodieLens a try: foodielens.app
