Know before you go.
Pass or Plate™ turns Canada's public health-inspection records into one clear A+-to-F grade, so you can see at a glance whether a place is clean before you eat, drop your kid off, or take a swim.
Find any restaurant, daycare, pool, or salon near you, or explore grade-coloured pins on the map.
A single letter tells you what you need to know, plus the plain-English reason behind it. No digging through PDFs.
Save as many places as you like, then tap the bell on the ones you want alerts for. Three are free, no account required.
Inspectors turn up unannounced. Tap the bell on any place and when its next report comes in, you will hear about it before your next meal there.
The records have always been public, buried in spreadsheets and PDFs. Pass or Plate™ turns them into something you can actually use, in seconds.
One clear grade tells you what you need to know. No jargon, just a letter and the reason behind it.
How our grades work. Each grade is Pass or Plate's own independent assessment, based on publicly available inspection records over a recent ~9-month window, so recent problems matter more and genuine improvement is rewarded. These are our assessment, not official government grades.
The short version: Pass or Plate™ makes Canada's health-inspection records easy to read, so you never have to gamble on where you eat.
Pass or Plate™ is a free app that shows official health-inspection results for restaurants, cafés, daycares, pools and salons across Canada. Nobody wants to eat at a gross restaurant, but the inspection records that could warn you have always been buried in spreadsheets and PDFs. We gather them and turn each place's history into one clear A+-to-F grade you can read in a second.
Every grade is built from public inspection records published by public health authorities, including Alberta Health Services, the Saskatchewan Health Authority, Toronto Public Health (DineSafe), Ottawa Public Health, and the regional health units of York, Peel, Durham and Hamilton, along with Vancouver Coastal Health and Interior Health, and the provincial health departments of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador. These are the same official inspections done at restaurants and other facilities across the country. We simply collect them, keep them current, and make them easy to search.
No. Health authorities inspect and report, but they do not hand out letter grades. The A+-to-F grade is Pass or Plate's own independent assessment of the public record: a fair, plain-English summary, not an official government rating.
Each grade focuses on a recent nine-month window, so current problems count more than old ones and a restaurant that cleans up its act is rewarded. Serious, repeated issues weigh the most; minor, one-off notes weigh the least.
Browsing is completely free, and no account is needed to look up any place, save an unlimited watchlist, or get inspection alerts for three of them. An optional Pro plan lifts that three-place limit and removes ads.
Seven provinces today, with more of Canada on the way: Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Ontario and British Columbia are covered by health region for now, which includes Toronto, Ottawa, York, Peel, Durham and Hamilton, plus Vancouver Coastal and Interior Health. More than 152,000 places graded and kept up to date as new inspections come in.
