Hidden Gems Lost in the Algorithm
Challenge
Abu Dhabi is quickly emerging as a world-class culinary destination. But beyond the five-star dining experiences, the real soul of the city’s food scene, the small, locally-loved restaurants remained hidden. This problem wasn’t the food or service. It was visibility. 90% of diners rely on online reviews, discovery happens through the algorithm. And for these hidden gems, there was no way to climb the rankings and beat the algorithm. They needed a champion.
