Question
I’m visiting a Japanese restaurant and I would like to try some vegetarian dishes. How do I ask “Do you have any vegetarian dishes?” in Japanese?

Do you have any vegetarian dishes?
When you want to ask for vegetarian dishes in a Japanese restaurant, you can use the phrase “bejitarian muke no ryoori”. “Bejitarian” means “vegetarian”, “muke” means “intended for”, and “ryoori” means “dishes” or “cuisine”. By using “arimasuka”, which means “do you have”, you are politely inquiring if they offer such options. You can further specify by saying “niku or sakana nashi no ryoori wa arimasuka?”, which means “do you have dishes without meat or fish?” Enjoy your meal!
