How dietary matches work
Badges distinguish menu labels, options to request and likely dishes to check. Conflicting labels are excluded. Gluten-free requires explicit wording; unlabelled options may be missing. Different matches may be different dishes. Dietary guidance

Food choices in the menus
Compare all five islands
Each figure counts a venue once for that choice at your selected evidence level. Choices overlap, so columns cannot be added together.
One place. Everyone’s choices.
These combinations require every choice at the same venue, possibly in different dishes.
What these figures mean
Counts cover restaurants, cafés, pubs and takeaways in this directory, not every business on each island. “Gluten-free” requires explicit menu wording. Vegetarian includes dishes labelled vegan. Likely vegetarian or vegan dishes are inferred conservatively from dish names and listed ingredients and shown separately from menu labels. They need confirmation. Mixed vegetarian/vegan sections do not establish that every dish is vegan; conflicting labels are excluded. Dietary codes are treated as labels only where the venue’s own key was checked.
A zero means no matching evidence at the selected level in the text menus we hold, not that an island has no suitable food. Menus without matching labels and venues without a text menu remain unknown. Figures describe the current directory snapshot, not live availability. Sources and compilation date.
For allergies or coeliac disease, confirm ingredients and cross-contact directly with the venue.
