This page describes a key prefix rather than a simple key.
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>.

Values
- yes - the place provides at least a proper choice for this diet type, constantly available, i.e. full meal in a restaurant, specific section in shop. If in doubt, see note below.
- no - the place doesn't provide this diet type at all, or not reliably, i.e. side-orders or light snack only in a pub, temporary products in a shop.
- only - the place only provides this diet type, 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
- A vegetarian-only Indian restaurant that also offers vegan dishes
- amenity=restaurant
- cuisine=indian
- diet:vegetarian=only
- diet:vegan=yes
Maps
- Veggiekarte
- OSM Vegan
- OpenStreetBrowser, category "Gastronomy" - the popups show diet Tags (✔ for 'yes', ! for 'only', ✘ for 'no'), also, a filter can be added.
