Translation for gastronomy and restaurants requires a form of cultural transfer that is not always easy. Differences between food systems, culinary habits, cultural references, and customer expectations must all be taken into account.

There are many examples of literal translations of restaurant menus that result in hilarious mistranslations: even though it’s nice to make your customers laugh, it’s more important for them to understand the dishes you’re offering them and make the right choices.

So acquiring quality gastronomic and culinary translations is a good investment for restaurants.

Boost your average meal bills with good translations

We translate all content and documents for restaurants: menus, websites, social network publications, presentations in all languages on recommendation sites, brochures, tourist and restaurant guides, promotional videos, mobile apps, signs, etc.

For the last 25 years, the EuropaTrad language service provider has worked for tourism, restaurants and hotels, offering its expertise to restaurants and restaurant chains to ensure flawless communication with foreign customers who visit their locations.

The right tone, at the right moment, in all languages

For gastronomic or bistronomic restaurants, we work hard to provide editorial translation matching the style, tone and message of both the restaurant and its head chef. It’s not a question of literally translating ingredients or recipes, but rather capturing the flavour, texture, origin, and specific characteristics of the dishes.

For traditional or fast food restaurants, we aim for straightforward and direct but culinarily accurate translation, eliminating any risk of misunderstanding… and speeding up ordering, too!

Our commitment: guaranteeing perfect understanding by using terms straight from your visitors’ culinary frame of reference. Season after season, we update menu translations for our loyal clients.

For websites or online/POS ordering interfaces, which are key ways to attract these customers to your locations, the tone and accuracy of our translations make the difference.

We can take the heat in the kitchen, too!

Finally, we are well aware that turnaround and response times are crucially important for you: communications are always finalised last minute, and menus change fast: you need speed to translate them quickly.

We work hard every day to guarantee you these quick turnaround times that will save you precious time.
