Ask a friend to borrow their palate and you’ll see dishes ranked the way they’d order, which helps when they know a place better than you do. Your friend approves the request first.
Your Palytt pal is a four-letter food personality from a free 20-question quiz. Three flavor questions add a Bold or Mellow letter, and five meal choices add detail about pace, travel, atmosphere, priorities and timing. The quiz summarizes your answers for fun and sharing; it does not change personal dish match scores.
Yes. Use Share → Save to Palytt from a supported place link, then review the places and choose what to keep in Want to try. You can also import a Google Maps saved-list export or a CSV spreadsheet.
Yes, on iPhones that support it. With iOS 26 or later and Apple Intelligence turned on, Palytt uses Apple’s on-device model to suggest chat replies and comment ideas, so that text stays on your iPhone. It also writes caption and cuisine suggestions when Palytt’s servers can’t, such as when you’re offline. On other iPhones and iPads, the same suggestions come from Palytt’s servers. Match scores are always calculated the same way for everyone.
Create an account and answer three this-or-that questions to give Palytt a first read on your taste. Your dish verdicts and food history add context over time. The separate food personality quiz is optional.
No. Start by saving dishes or recording what you would order again. Your taste profile and dish history can shape personal picks when enough dish information is available. Friends’ ratings add context when they have tried a dish.
