vegetarian options

Menu without meat

Vegetarian options are menu items or food choices that contain no meat.

The phrase appears constantly in restaurant contexts: Do you have any vegetarian options?

It signals accommodation rather than commitment—the speaker may or may not be vegetarian, but wants to know what's available without meat.
