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

Describes if (and optionally how) a certain food type is available at an amenity or shop.

Please note that these tags should be used to add noteworthy offers or specialities to POIs. They should not be used to create, e.g., full menu listings of restaurants. This kind of detailed information is generally deemed out of scope for OSM, and can be easily linked from external sources using website:menu=*. For example, a restaurant that offers a wide variety of soups can be tagged food:soup=*. If the renowned specialty of the place is Minestrone a food:minestrone=* tag can be added. However, there should not be a long list of different soups.

The following is a small list of sub-keys examples, grouped in one of the many possible ways.

Tagging

The individual tag values can be yes, served. If a location is a bakery which is serving for example cake the right combination would be food:cake=served and if you only know that you can get cakes, but don't know in which form you should use food:cake=yes. In order to choose the right spelling for the given food or dish refer to the English label in Wikidata.
