Searching for a restaurant on Apple Maps and Google Maps is the same on the surface: You make your query, scan the map for a name that jumps out, then tap that restaurant to learn more. Apple Maps serves up Yelp reviews, which you can see previews of, but if you tap any of them for more details, you're taken to the Yelp app. If you don't have the Yelp app, you're taken to the App Store to download the Yelp app. Google Maps, on the other hand, has Google reviews. If you tap a review, you read the review right then and there, without actually leaving the app. Genius.
On Thursday, the company announced a new search filter, which lets you specify Michelin distinctions when looking for restaurants. Here's how it works: After searching for your restaurants (even with a general search term like "restaurants"), you can scroll through the search filters underneath the search bar (e.g. "Top Rated," "All Cuisines," etc.) until you find "Michelin Distinctions." Here, you can look for restaurants with one, two, or three Michelin stars; "Bib Gourmand," which a restaurant can earn if it doesn't quite meet a true star level; and "Green Star," which Michelin awards to sustainable restaurants.
Assuming the feature will eventually work on my device, this is a cool way to find fine dining experiences in your area, or the area you're visiting. If you're looking for a great restaurant that isn't the peak of fancy, Bib Gourmand might be where it's at. If you're looking for a spot that might've been featured in some Netflix doc on fancy chefs, the "3 Star" filter might be your move.
Apple says it is also working on bringing search filters for recommendations from The Infatuation, as well as Golf Digest, the latter of which will supply recommendations for golf courses.
Apple Maps still has some catching up to do
Until Apple figures out a way to incorporate more in-app insights into the restaurants that pop up in a search, I think many will continue to use Google Maps. I know I will.
