Booking restaurants in the UK just got easier with AI in Search

Planning a night out, a weekend treat, or a dinner with friends just got much easier for people across the UK this week.

We're bringing new agentic capabilities to AI Mode in Search, helping those in the U.K. go from planning to booking in just a few steps.

Turn your ideas into bookings

Users are turning to Google with increasingly detailed requests to find restaurants that meet their specific needs. Google Trends shows searches for "when to book a table" have surged 140% this year, as diners look for spots that can accommodate group sizes, dietary needs, and more. Starting today, AI Mode helps take the hassle out of finding and securing reservations at restaurants across the UK.

Simply describe what you're looking for with all your needs and preferences. For example, you could try "find a table for two at a dog-friendly Italian restaurant in Shoreditch for Saturday at 7 p.m," or "Find me a sushi restaurant nearby that has a table for four that also serves vegan tempura," if you want dinner on the fly.

See your options in real time

AI Mode will then search across multiple booking platforms and websites to find real-time availability for options that fit what you need. It will show you a curated list to choose from, with direct links so you can finalise your booking through partners like TheFork, Sevenrooms, Resdiary, Mozrest, Foodhub, Dojo and DesignMyNight.

With these updates, AI will handle more of the busywork - so you can spend less time planning and more time having fun.
