How to use the tags
Think of a tag as a research shortcut, not a promise. It tells you which dish is worth asking about; it does not replace a conversation with the kitchen. The two guides below repeat that warning because it is the part that matters.
- Halal depends on meat source, slaughter method, alcohol in the recipe and cross-contact. A dish name alone cannot settle it.
- Vegetarian depends on stock, fish sauce, anchovy paste, lard and shared oil. In many cuisines, a meat-free-looking dish is not vegetarian by default.
- Allergies need a direct conversation. Tags in this index are not allergen declarations.
Dietary guides: common questions
What does a halal tag mean on TasteBridge?
It means the indexed dish is commonly halal-friendly, not that the kitchen is certified. Always confirm meat source, alcohol and preparation with the venue.
What does a vegetarian tag mean?
It means the indexed recipe contains no meat or fish. It does not guarantee a vegetarian kitchen: stock, fish sauce, lard and shared fryers can still be an issue.
Why are there no vegan or gluten-free guides?
We only publish guides when the underlying data can support them. The current index does not tag vegan or gluten-free items consistently, so a page would be guesswork.
Tags are based on the indexed recipe description. They are not certifications or allergen declarations. Last reviewed 2026-11-06.
