In an attempt to help users avoid restaurant order envy, Bing has rolled out a new “Menu favorites” feature on its mobile app. The feature lists recommended restaurant dishes based on millions of user reviews, restaurant menus and other data.

“Menu favorites identifies the most popular dishes at each restaurant with high quality results,” says Bing, “With this deep-learning technique, the Bing team has collected a large volume of users’ favorite dishes.”

Local restaurant listings within the Bing app will now include a “Menu favorites” section that shows up under the restaurant location and contact information. Clicking on an individual menu item will display a description of the dish, along with user reviews.
