Start here
To translate a Spanish menu with SeEat, upload a readable photo and compare each explanation with the original dish name. Check the size and preparation before deciding what to order, especially when a menu offers several formats of the same dish.
From the menu to your choice
1. Photograph or upload
Open SeEat and capture a readable menu page, including headings and notes.
2. Understand each dish
Compare original names, explanations and AI reference images in English, Chinese or Spanish.
3. Decide what to order
Compare dishes for your taste, check the printed menu and confirm important details with staff.
Separate the dish from its serving format
Spain’s tourism guide presents tapas as dishes offered in small servings and also as raciones. These words are useful clues, but ask how much this restaurant serves before planning a shared order.[1]
If the same name appears twice, keep both lines in your photo. A cropped price or serving label can make two different choices look like the same item.
Compare preparation words
Practice with these translation examples: “a la plancha” — griddled; “frito” — fried; “al horno” — oven-baked; “con salsa” — with sauce. Read the whole line rather than picking a dish from one familiar noun.
For example, compare a grilled fish option with a fried one and decide which texture you want. Ask what comes with it instead of assuming the photograph shows the included sides.
Ask a question you can use at the table
“¿Qué lleva este plato?” asks what is in the dish. “¿La salsa viene aparte?” asks whether the sauce comes separately. Point to the original name so the question stays attached to the right item.
Before you order
Is a Spanish menu the same as a menu from Spain?
No. Use these language examples to read the wording, not to infer a cuisine or recipe. A restaurant in another country may use different names and serving formats.
Do I need an account or a subscription?
The web app checks available menu credits before creating a menu. When credits are exhausted, it can ask you to sign in or show subscription options. Check the app for your current allowance and plan; unlimited free use is not promised.
Are images and dietary labels verified by the restaurant?
No. Images are AI-generated references, not photographs of the restaurant’s dishes. Explanations and dietary or allergen labels can be inaccurate. Confirm any important ingredient or preparation detail with staff before ordering.
