The diet tag is the prefix for several diet:* keys to describe dietary options, for example to indicate that a amenity=restaurant offers vegetarian dishes.

Tagging

diet:<DIET_TYPE>=<OFFER>

DIET_TYPE	OFFER
pescetarian (no land-dwelling meat, but allows fish) vegetarian (synonym for ovo-lacto-vegetarian, no fish or meat) lacto_vegetarian (no fish, meat or eggs) ovo_vegetarian (no fish, meat or dairy) vegan (no fish, meat, dairy, eggs or any other animal products) fruitarian (only fruit, nuts and seeds) raw (uncooked and unprocessed only) gluten_free (no gluten in food)	yes full options available (i.e. several proper meals not just side salads in restaurants or a baked potato in a pub, and specific alternatives in shops such as gluten-free cereals or vegetarian mince) no no options for this diet available only only provides this dietary option (N.B. it may be helpful to tag diet:vegetarian=only and diet:vegan=yes)

Note on "full options": for the avoidance of doubt, a pub or cafe that has on its menu one or two options that are vegetarian (such as a salad and a baked potato) but that makes no explicit effort to provide a good range of vegetarian options should not be tagged as vegetarian=yes. Greengrocers that sell lettuce and tomatoes also need to make an effort to offer, for example, a range of explicit vegetarian alternatives to meat or a good selection of fish without animal by-products to deserver vegetarian=yes or pescetarian=yes.

Examples

To map a vegetarian-only Indian restaurant that also offers vegan dishes, use:

• amenity=restaurant
• cuisine=indian
• diet:vegetarian=only
• diet:vegan=yes

To map a supermarket that sells vegetarian foods use:

• shop=supermarket
• diet:vegetarian=yes
