Moving house takes a lot of time and settling into a new neighbourhood can take even longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve put together a list of our fav food apps to help you discover your new local coffee shop, restaurant or caf\u00e9 \u2013 and settle in a little quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Uber Eats<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t already have Uber Eats on your phone, it\u2019s worth the download. You can browse nearby restaurants from your phone and order your dinner straight from the couch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all? They do contactless delivery and you can track how far away it is, so you don\u2019t need to guess when your food will be arriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s also a new feature that let\u2019s you know which restaurants are likely to be sharing delivery with someone else in your area, to help you save on delivery costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Happy Cow<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vegetarian, plant based or just trying to eat less meat? Happy Cow will show you all the vegan friendly options nearby, including cafes, restaurants, bakeries and even grocers \u2013 and you can filter by delivery or take-away. You can also connect with other likeminded people using their \u2018social\u2019 option in the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Zomato<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Zomato app can help you find the best local nosh. Not only can you search by area, you can also filter by take-away, cuisine and meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner). If your neighbourhood is in a state that\u2019s allowed to dine out, you can also book a table from the app. Our favourite feature? Zomato allows you to scroll through photos taken by other diners, read reviews and view the menu \u2013 making it a cinch to figure out what you want to order before you even step foot in the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Door Dash<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A, dare we say it, newer player to the Aussie food app game \u2013 Door Dash has a huge variety of foodie options. Whether you\u2019re looking for an easy dinner on move-in night or looking to treat yourself to a lush dessert to reward yourself for all your hard work, Door Dash has plenty of options! They also offer contactless delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Providoor<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Okay, this one is a little bit cheeky of us as it\u2019s technically not an app, but if you\u2019ve moved into a new suburb that happens to be within a 30km radius of Melbourne and have a special occasion coming up, like an anniversary or birthday, Providoor might be just what you\u2019re looking for. Providoor deliver some of Melbourne\u2019s best restaurants to your door \u2013 think Supernormal, Maha, Movida and Tokyo Tina. The food\u2019s prepared by chef\u2019s and designed for you to finish off the cooking at home. So if you\u2019re stumped on how to entertain for that upcoming special occasion, this might just be the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providoor\u2019s currently available to suburbs within a 30km radius of Melbourne but rumour has it they\u2019ll be expanding to other capital cities in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Ywaste<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In need of an afternoon pick me up after all the heavy lifting and unpacking?  Want to reduce food waste at the same time? With the Ywaste app you can. Ywaste helps you discover local eatery\u2019s and purchase excess food for a discounted price \u2013 perfectly good food that would otherwise go to landfill. So, you\u2019ll not only save some coin, but you can eat that discounted almond croissant knowing you\u2019re also doing good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Menulog<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Menulog has an array of restaurants to choose from, right from the palm of your hand. The app lets you choose based on cuisine, displays customer ratings (so you know exactly which local Thai place does the best Pad Thai in town) and allows you to choose whether you want your food delivered ASAP or later. All you need to do is pop in your new postcode, decide on what takes your fancy and enter your delivery address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Deliveroo<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another reliable favourite, Deliveroo lets you scroll through your local culinary treasures from the comfort of your home. Offering contactless delivery and tracking, this app also lets you select from the pick of the bunch by displaying customer ratings next to each restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Skip<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of life\u2019s simple joys is finding your local coffee spot. With Skip, you can browse local cafes, check out what\u2019s on offer and pre-order (and pay for) your coffee\/eats from the app \u2013 skipping the queue. A handy app for grabbing coffee on the way to work and a great way to continue to practise social-distancing whilst supporting local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
