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

All tags follow the structure diet:<DIET_TYPE>=<OFFER>.

Key

Value

diet:pescetarian (no land-dwelling meat, but allows fish) diet:vegetarian (synonym for ovo-lacto-vegetarian, no fish or meat) diet:lacto_vegetarian (no fish, meat or eggs) diet:ovo_vegetarian (no fish, meat or dairy) diet:vegan (no fish, meat, dairy, eggs or any other animal products) diet:fruitarian (only fruit, nuts and seeds) diet:raw (uncooked and unprocessed only) diet:gluten_free (no gluten in food) diet:dairy_free (no milk or other dairy products in food) diet:lactose_free (no lactose in food) diet:diabetes (Diabetes) diet:halal (permissible for consumption by Muslims) diet:kosher (kosher food, permissible for observant Jews)

yes full options available : provides at least a proper choice for this option, constantly available (i.e full meal in a restaurant, specific section in shop). If in doubt, see note below. no doesn't provide this option at all, or not reliably (i.e side-orders or light snack only in a pub, temporary products in a shop). only only provides this dietary option (N.B. it may often be helpful to tag a vegetarian place with both diet:vegetarian=only and diet:vegan=yes)

Only places that provide a proper choice for an option should be tagged yes. For instance, a restaurant with vegetarian starters but no vegetarian main course is to be tagged no. Same for a pub that can't serve more than light snacks (baked potatoes, green salad) to vegetarians.

There is discussion of using the value "limited" as well as yes/no/only, so as to be clearer about the difference between a total absence of options and merely limited options.

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
