Are there any international "Eater" equivalents?

I'm looking for restaurant/dining-focused websites similar to Eater, but for cities outside of North America.
I get most of my local dining news from our city-focused subhead of Eater. I like Eater for a number of reasons:
-Despite being part of a larger vertical (ultimately part of Vox), the city subsite is managed and written by locals
-They're very good at keeping up to date on restaurant openings and closings
-The site includes some reviews but also runs stories on larger dining trends, issues facing the industry, etc.
-Good mix of coverage on "up and coming" versus "old stalwarts"
-Maps focusing on specific cuisines, individual dishes, etc. ("Where to get Indian food in the area" or "Dollar oyster deals" or "Where to find Japanese-style ice cream" for example)
Do cities outside the US/Canada have something similar? What do they look like? (Doesn't have to be in English, I'm mostly curious about what exists and what they look like.)

You probably know this, but Eater has some great content for a lot of international cities as well, even if it's updated less frequently.

My husband gets super excited when our destination can be found on Culinary Backstreets. Not comprehensive, but great when you can find your city there.

Le Fooding, pour La France, naturellement.

For Ireland (mostly Dublin) there's www.allthefood.ie . It covers openings and reviews and has a email newsletter that's pretty useful. I find it sometimes overly positive but it feels a bit less paid for marketing than Lovin' Dublin.
