Dietary Suitability

Dietary suitability sorts dishes by which eating patterns they fit, such as vegetarian, low-fat or dairy-free. Wikipedia notes that a well-studied pattern like the Mediterranean diet "emphasizes plant-based foods, particularly unprocessed cereals, legumes, vegetables, and fruits" alongside only moderate meat and dairy. This dimension helps a visitor find dishes that suit a particular way of eating.
