uk & southern europe restaurant guide

Designer, personal project, 2022-2024

While studying and working in Portugal in 2022, I kept track of every single restaurant, cafe, and bar I went to. With the data, I developed a web app through ArcGISonline. Users can filter to show specific cuisines, my personal ratings, and places I wrote specific comments about. I later spent a few months traveling in 2024, and I expanded upon the existing map with more data points. Users can now filter by which year I added the data. Pop-up information includes city, establishment name, cuisine/type, address, how many times I went, my personal rating 1-5, and some have personal comments (suggestions, warnings, compliments, etc.).

Disclaimer: the filter feature is not perfect due to the limits of ArcGISonline. A select few points were incorrectly geolocated due to a lack of information regarding address. additionally, i have several repeats between 2022 and 2024, but the restaurants have not been updated to reflect i revisited them in 2024.
