About OurFaves

Ever asked a friend to recommend an amazing tapas bar, lush lounge, or phenomenal record store?
Love sharing your own stand-out city finds – that perfect patio, hot date spot, or inspired tattoo artist?

Then you’re gonna love OurFaves.

OurFaves is like new and improved word of mouth.

Once you start faving, you’ll meet a whole community of other urban-savvy folks who love the city like you do, and discover the things and places that have them talking. Get creative and add a profile and faves of your own, or enjoy exploring your city through the eyes of other people with faves to share. Before you know it, you’ll be hooked.

We promise. Because there’s nothing better than a living, breathing snapshot of what’s hot and fave in your city according to you, your friends, and a whole extended network of people who love what you love. No more long reviews. No more dated “best of” lists. Just real faves from real people in real time.

So what are you waiting for? Get faving!

The OurFaves Philosophy

OurFaves was born out of the desire to amplify local voices on the subject of what’s great in the city. It's simple really...the first place we turn when we need a good tip on the local scene is to our trusted sources – friends and the people who share our standards for what's cool.

Thing is, what’s cool to us, might be different from what’s cool to you, what reviewers think is cool, or from what’s newest, hottest and getting most of the media attention.

So we came up with OurFaves - a site where everyone can sound off on what’s great in the city. We’re all really passionate about where we live, and think OurFaves is a great way to share and discover hidden gems, neighbourhood haunts, and all the best local places and things. We can’t stop faving, and we think you’re gonna love it too.

We hope this revolution in word of mouth revolutionizes how you experience your city, and your community, both online and off.
