Clean JSON-LD Example

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Menu",
  "name": "Dinner Menu",
  "hasMenuSection": [{
    "@type": "MenuSection",
    "name": "Appetizers",
    "hasMenuItem": [{
      "@type": "MenuItem",
      "name": "Crispy Calamari",
      "description": "Lightly fried squid with lemon and house aioli",
      "image": "https://example.com/images/calamari.jpg",
      "offers": {
        "@type": "Offer",
        "price": "14.00",
        "priceCurrency": "USD",
        "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock"
      }
    }]
  },{
    "@type": "MenuSection",
    "name": "Mains",
    "hasMenuItem": [{
      "@type": "MenuItem",
      "name": "Grilled Salmon",
      "description": "Atlantic salmon with seasonal vegetables",

        "price": "28.00",

FAQs

Does Google support a dedicated Menu rich result
Google’s supported rich result types are listed in the Search Gallery. Menu is a Schema.org type that helps understanding but is not a standalone rich result type. Use JSON-LD and validate your markup.
Which schema types should I use for menus
Use Menu as the container. Use MenuSection for groups. Use MenuItem for each dish. Use Offer for price and currency. Optional nutrition and dietary properties can be added when available.
Where do I put the markup
Place one application/ld+json script on each relevant page. Validate with the Rich Results Test and use the Schema Markup Validator for generic schema checks. Keep the page indexable.
