unspecified / restaurant
English term or phrase: "Do you have any Vegetarian dishes?"
The context is one speaking to a waiter/waitress in a restaurant.
There may be many words for "Vegetarian", but in this case a simple, general word for vegetarian would be best. :)
Thank you!

Grænmetisæta
Explanation:
"Eigið þið til grænmetisrétti?" should do nicely, but as English is a second language to most Icelanders I recommend using English freely rather than wasting time trying to pronounce our rather long and eccentrically spelled language.

--------

Vegetarian is "grænmetisæta" in Icelandic, which literally means 'vegetable eater' (the extreme resolution is 'green-food-eater'.
