Our Journey: A Timeline of Taste

2020

December 2020

AussieBites was born from a simple idea: to create a modern, honest, and beautifully designed platform for food lovers in Australia. We launched our beta version, focusing solely on the vibrant cafe culture of Melbourne, gathering initial feedback and building a small but passionate community of food enthusiasts.

2021
Milestone Icon

September 2021

After a successful year, we expanded our coverage to include Sydney's dynamic restaurant scene. We introduced our unique "Eco-Score," rating establishments on their sustainability practices, a core tenet of our eco-minimalist philosophy. This feature was praised by users and environmental groups alike.

2023

March 2023

We launched our first mobile app, incorporating augmented reality features that allow users to view menus and reviews by simply pointing their camera at a restaurant's facade. This technological leap solidified our position as a futuristic guide to dining, making discovery more interactive and engaging than ever before.
