# Where should we eat?

Tell us the cuisine, the place, your party size and your budget per person. We check them against the restaurants in this directory and give a clear answer.

Use the tool on the [web page](https://dishdirectory.com/tools/where-should-we-eat). It works without JavaScript.

## How to use it

1. Choose type of restaurant.
2. Choose where.
3. Enter people in your group.
4. Enter budget per person.
5. Read the result.

## How it works

We find every published restaurant that matches your type and place. We read the lowest average entree price among them.

We check the rules in order and stop at the first one that is true. First we check that a match exists. Then we check that the matching restaurants list a price.

Last we count the restaurants whose average entree costs your budget per person or less. A restaurant that lists no entree price does not count as a fit.

> Average entrees are guide prices that restaurants list. They are not quotes.

## Questions

### Does this tool book a restaurant?

No. It only tells you whether a good fit exists. Open a listing to contact the restaurant.

### Why do you compare my budget with the average entree?

The average entree is the steadiest price on a listing. If your budget is below the lowest one, no restaurant in your choice fits.
