Why build your own set

A ready-made word list is a fine starting point, but the terms that matter most are the ones on the menu in front of you. Make restaurant vocabulary flashcards from the dishes, drinks and phrases you plan to use, by uploading a menu photo, a class handout or your textbook pages.

  • Cover menu sections like starters, mains, desserts and drinks
  • Include ordering phrases such as asking for the bill or a table
  • Add dietary terms like vegetarian, gluten-free and nut allergy
  • Review short sessions daily so spaced repetition can schedule the hard words
Example Spanish restaurant vocabulary flashcards
la cuentathe bill or check, used to ask for the total at the end of a meal
el plato del díathe daily special, often the cheapest hot meal on the menu
sin glutengluten-free, the phrase to use when asking about celiac or wheat allergies
la propinathe tip, usually left on the table as a thank-you for service
¿Tiene mesa para dos?Do you have a table for two? Ask this when you arrive at the host stand

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, plain notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads printed menus and handouts too.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and familiar words spread out, so food vocabulary sticks before your next meal out.

Study anywhere

Review in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds Anki and CSV export for other apps.

How it works

Add your words

Upload a menu, a class vocab list or a textbook chapter, or snap a photo of the page.

Generate cards

DeckOwl creates flashcards with the term on one side and its meaning on the other.

Review on a schedule

Practice daily and let spaced repetition bring back the words you find hardest.

Spaced repetition brings each word back just before you would forget it, which suits vocabulary you need to recall quickly while ordering. Because photos of printed pages are read with text recognition, a quick snapshot works as well as a file.

The free plan includes 3 generations per month with studying in the browser. Plus at $7.99 per month or $39 per year adds unlimited generations and export to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX.

Frequently asked questions

How many restaurant words should I learn before a trip?

Start with a focused set covering menu sections, drink orders, ordering phrases and the bill, since that handles most everyday meals. Add words as you encounter them on real menus.

What is the best way to memorize food vocabulary in a new language?

Pair each word with a real menu item or photo, say it aloud, and review in short sessions. Spaced repetition then shows the hardest words more often.

Can I export restaurant vocabulary flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included in Plus, which also supports CSV, PDF and DOCX export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
