Velada started with a mission to simplify dining choices through a curated, personalized restaurant guide. Now, with Velada Genius, our AI-powered dining assistant helps you effortlessly discover the perfect place to eat.

Velada began three years ago in Madrid, born out of a shared frustration between founders Alex, David, and Manu—three food lovers who spent countless hours trying to find great restaurants without endless scrolling, cross-checking, and review reading.

So, we set out to build a better restaurant guide: an app that was curated, visually engaging, and personalized to each user’s tastes.

Fast forward, and Velada has helped over 200,000 people in Spain simplify their dining decisions, and now we’re bringing this experience across the pond to the U.S. With the rise of GenAI, we saw an opportunity to make Velada even faster, more personal, and more innovative.
