Asking Siri about Restaurants

Siri can also help you discover new restaurants, provide directions, and even book reservations. Now Siri offers a lot more than just listing restaurants in a given location. Your voice-activated personal assistant can sort by price, cuisine, stars, and reviews from Yelp (a popular site for business listings and ratings), or other variables of your choosing, such as a restaurant that offers a patio for outdoor seating. Siri can now show you photos of a restaurant, too.

Having Siri find you a restaurant

Siri is great for sifting through information to provide you with what you want — and restaurants are no exception. Feel like a burger? Greek food? Indian cuisine? Vegan fare? Simply ask Siri. (Yes, that’s the mantra of this book — simply ask Siri!)

The first way to search is by location and cuisine, so you can ask Siri to find something “near me” — and because your iPhone or iPad is location-aware, Siri knows where you are, geographically speaking. Even if you don’t add “near me” when you ask Siri something like “Find me a good Mexican restaurant,” by default, Siri will think you want something nearby.
