CLEVELAND, Ohio – The next time you head out for an indulgent meal, make certain your phone is fully charged.

Turns out that a beautiful photo of your food will get you way more than Insta likes. New research shows that taking pictures of your food before you dig in can actually make it taste better.

A study published in the Journal of Interactive Marketing found that those folks who take a picture of their meal first are actually paying more attention to the food’s aromas and aesthetics. Taking the time to savor your food can make your experience way more enjoyable.

That got us wondering. Which of Greater Cleveland’s restaurants gets high marks when it comes to having the most photographed food? Cleveland.com has partnered with Yelp Cleveland to find the Most Photographed Restaurants in Northeast Ohio, by county according to their reviewers.

Methodology:

This is an all-time list of the most-photographed restaurants in the Greater Cleveland area according to Yelp Cleveland.

To come up with this list, Yelp Cleveland identified businesses in the restaurants and food categories, then ranked them based on how frequently users submit photos.

Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

Sample review: “This was a great casual spot where hubby and I decided to go to for an impromptu Friday dinner date. Our server was friendly and checked in on us throughout our meal. They have an extensive beer menu; however, we’re not really beer drinkers so we appreciated their alternative offerings as we ended up enjoying a couple of glasses of Riesling. For appetizers, we had the Beer-B-Q wings which were tasty as the wings were quite meaty and juicy. For entrees, we had the Mushroom “Mushies” & Swiss grilled cheese sandwich & the house burger. Everything tasted freshly prepared and the overall ambiance was relaxed as there were several tv screens airing an array of sports games.” – Tina B.

I was skeptical at first because I thought it was just another celebrity coffee/food place that would be mediocre, but MGK did not disappoint! I love the cafe’s brunch-like menu and it was delicious. The decor was pretty in pink and edgy with a lot that just worked together, and the ambiance inside wasn’t too overly loud, which made it perfect to converse. The service was also cheery and helpful for our first time. Cleveland, OH really has a gem here…” – Raine S.
