The Questions Travelers Ask Every Day
Created from real concierge, hotel, tourism, and destination marketing experience.
Connected through hotels, visitor centers, concierge teams, and tourism partners.
Serving travelers, restaurants, wineries, attractions, and hospitality communities.
Where To Eat Guide is a hospitality-focused destination discovery platform that helps travelers find exceptional places to eat, stay, and play.
Founded on decades of experience in hotels, concierge services, tourism, and destination marketing, our mission is to connect visitors with businesses and experiences that showcase the very best of a destination.
We believe travel is about more than checking attractions off a list. It is about creating memories, supporting local businesses, experiencing culture, and discovering a place through the people who know it best.
Where To Eat Guide's President and CEO, Jason Staats, is a seasoned hospitality professional whose career spans luxury boutique hotels, concierge services, tourism organizations, destination marketing, publishing, and entrepreneurship.
Before creating Where To Eat Guide, Jason served as Chef Concierge at Portland's historic Governor Hotel and later as President of the Portland Concierge Association. For years, he answered one of the most common questions travelers ask:
“Where should we eat?”
What he learned was simple. Guests were not looking for another list of online reviews. They wanted trusted recommendations, memorable experiences, and local insight from people who knew the destination well.
What began as a dining guide has evolved into a trusted hospitality and tourism platform serving travelers and businesses throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, and beyond.
We are not a review website. We do not rank businesses based on anonymous ratings, popularity contests, or user-generated review scores.
Instead, we focus on curation, hospitality, local knowledge, and visitor experience.
Beyond the top-ten rankings. Beyond the algorithms. Beyond the same recommendations everyone else sees.
Restaurants, wineries, tasting rooms, breweries, coffee shops, and culinary experiences.
Hotels, resorts, boutique inns, unique accommodations, and hospitality partners.
Attractions, events, tours, museums, entertainment, outdoor recreation, and local adventures.
Local Knowledge, Shared Daily
One of the fastest-growing parts of Where To Eat Guide is our destination blog.
Through destination guides, restaurant features, event coverage, seasonal recommendations, travel inspiration, and local insights, we help visitors make informed decisions while supporting the communities we serve.
Restaurants, hotels, attractions, wineries, and small businesses are more than places travelers visit. They create jobs, support local economies, contribute to community identity, and help tell the story of a destination. By helping visitors discover local businesses and experiences, we help strengthen the economic and cultural fabric of the destinations we serve.
Whether you're a restaurant, winery, tasting room, hotel, attraction, destination organization, or tourism partner, we are always looking for exceptional businesses that share our passion for hospitality and visitor experiences.
