Find great food stops on your way

Between two mountain passes, you want a real stop, not one more motorway services. Iconic Food Stops shows 38 great places to eat in 18 countries. One is a hut at the top of the Stelvio. One is a fish bar on the Fife coast. You can see which ones are on your way.

4Tap a stop for its card

Tap a purple pin to open its card. You will see a photo if we have one. You will see the name, the town and how long it has been open. It says what people go there for, most often a dish. It shows the road it is on, so you know if it is on your way. The date at the bottom is when we last checked it.

Good to know

We picked all 38 places by hand, one at a time. They are not from a list of every cafe. Each one is a simple place that people know well. Each one is on a good road to drive. They are in 18 countries, with the most in Britain. Large parts of Europe have none yet. The card does not show opening hours. Check before you drive a long way, most of all to the huts on high passes.

Also in the app: maps that work with no signal, campsites and aires, and Plan with AI. It plans routes for seven kinds of vehicle, from an enduro bike to a motorhome.
