LocalBite Spain

Scan any Spanish menu in 3 seconds. AI translates dishes, flags allergens, calls out tourist traps. 380+ vetted restaurants Málaga to Tarifa. Free, no ads, no account.

Eat like a local, not like a tourist.

LocalBite is your food-savvy travel companion for the Costa del Sol. Point your camera at any Spanish menu and in three seconds get every dish translated, ingredients listed, allergens flagged — plus an honest verdict on whether the place is worth your time.

Why LocalBite? The Costa del Sol gets 13 million visitors a year. Tourist traps have figured that out. Menus printed only in English, photos of every dish, €22 paella served with sangria-by-the-bucket — the tells are obvious once you know them. LocalBite reads the menu for you and tells you honestly: local, mixed, or trap.

What you can do:

• Scan any menu — Spanish, English, French, Italian, German. Google Gemini reads it and returns every dish translated to English, Polish, or Spanish, with ingredients and likely allergens.

• Get a tourist-trap score — Local, Mixed, or Trap. With specific reasons ("English-only menu, dish photos, paella in Andalusia with no local context" — or "Menu entirely in Spanish, espetos and pescaíto frito — classic chiringuito").

• Discover 127+ vetted restaurants — From Málaga to Estepona, hand-picked by people who live here. No paid listings. No sponsored results. Just places we would send a friend.

• Save your favorites — Build personal collections (Beach lunches, Date dinners, Vegan) and keep a history of every menu you scanned.

• Works in three languages — LocalBite speaks English, Polish, and Spanish.

Private by design. No account to create. No tracking. No advertising SDKs. Menu photos are processed in real-time and not stored on our servers. Your favorites, collections, and scan history live on your phone — delete the app and they're gone with it.

Free to use. No paywall, no subscription, no "pro tier". Just the app.
