I can identify a cukrászda through its window. > That's what cuisine=* is for. That's what Google is for. That's what > Yellow Pages is for. That's what TripAdvisor is for. > In Hungary in every restaurant before you pay the bill, the waiter asks if you want some dessert. She asks you, even if they only have pancakes as dessert. So one could tag every "amenity=restaurant" with "cuisine=*;dessert". But the restaurants do not want you to sit in only for a pancake, they want you to eat a whole course (food). Cukrászdas want you to eat from their many sweets. If Google is for finding specific places in the world, what is OSM for? > > Do we need to make that distinction in OSM?

I do not expect (real, nutritious) food in a cafe. Regards, fekete
