For restaurants and brands
📣 Featured partner
Your place on the Strong Foodie homepage and its city page for a set period, always marked Ad. Your review and score stay exactly as they are: those are never for sale.
📊 Monthly report
Every partner gets a report per month: how often the page was viewed, the best-of lists it is in, how many members saved it and what members wrote. Ask for an example.
How Strong Foodie works
🎯 Honest
Merdan pays his own bill and visits anonymously. A place can't pay for a review or a score. When something is a paid partnership, it says AD · Partner.
🌍 Everywhere
From a croquette on the corner in Amsterdam to fine dining in Dubai: every review has a score, the address, the route and a map.
👥 With members
Members add their own spots and reviews on the website and in the app. Those are always marked as member content, apart from the Strong Foodie reviews.
Story ideas
- The reviewer who pays his own bill. Honest reviews in a time of free meals for influencers.
- The best of Amsterdam, by the numbers. The best-of lists are made from every score, per city and per kind of place.
- From Instagram account to platform. How a food account on Instagram grew into Strong Foodie: a website, a map and an app where diners share their own spots.
