Edelweiss Biergarten
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
“This was our first time dining at this very authentic German restaurant. They clearly have ‘please discuss any allergies with your server’ written at the bottom of the menu. The server was very familiar with allergies and said that none of the dishes off the main menu contained nuts. She even checked the oil used in the fryer, which was corn oil. They only have a couple of desserts containing nuts, otherwise the menu is nut-free! A great way to escape safely in our own city!”

von Trapp Brewery & Bierhall
Location: Stowe, Vermont
“This place is pricey but good and gorgeous inside and out. Food was great, as was the beer. Only nuts in two desserts. The burger bun they weren’t sure of the risk of cross-contamination because it’s from an outside source so we got a soft pretzel (omg, better than in Germany), mac and cheese and fries (fried in canola and soy oil). Felt comfortable here and the waitress was very nice and she had a nephew with our same allergies.”

“There is a helpful allergen menu upon request, but it is in German! I was able to Google Translate it to find what was safe for me. Although it wasn’t the best food, it’s a good allergy-friendly option if you’re in a pinch!”

Allergiker Café
Location: Vienna, Austria
“As the name suggests, Allergiker Cafe is a great place for people with allergies! A purely gluten-free restaurant with a beautiful interior and classical music events, Allergiker Cafe has traditional Viennese sweets for vegans and people with nut allergies. Two notes: the owner did, however, warn me that almonds are present in the kitchen. I also don’t remember seeing an English menu, but there are allergy icons, and the owner and waiters speak both German and English.”

CANADA
WALDHAUS RESTAURANT
Location: Banff, Canada
“This restaurant at the Fairmont Banff Springs did not disappoint. They had very clear understanding of what they could and couldn’t guarantee to be nut-free. I skipped the bread with the fondue, but was able to order steamed potatoes and bratwurst to dip. We also got a schnitzel that they used the gluten-free breading on because the normal breading was a potential may contain peanut and tree nuts. I was extremely impressed with their policies and clarity of what they could/couldn’t make for my allergies.”

GERMANY
Witty’s Currywurst
Location: Berlin, Germany
“Completely nut-free and made to order! All ingredients are labeled on their website—only allergens there are sunflower oil, wheat, soy, mustard, and eggs (as of 2023). Texture wise it’s not my favorite but the sauce is tangy, sweet, and has a little kick of spice!”

Reissdorf am Hahnentor
Location: Cologne, Germany
“I was a bit nervous to experience a restaurant without an English menu in a new cuisine. However, I got the schnitzel and the Himmel un Ad (black pudding with mashed potatoes, apple sauce, roasted onions) and it was delicious! Our server also spoke English. I felt really grateful for Google translate and really happy that I got to experience new cuisine.”

Augustiner-Kellerh
Location: Munich, Germany
“This was the best German food I had the whole trip! German food seems to not have a lot of nuts, which is great for my allergies. I got a sausage plate and pretzel (that was literally the size of my head) here, and it was so good!”

Bohne & Malz am Stachus
Location: Munich, Germany
“I had the Viennese schnitzel here, and it was a great experience! The menu had additives like phosphate, sulfates, dyes, and other preservatives noted. The menu also was very clear about what specific items had allergens. For example, the Viennese schnitzel had gluten in the breaded meat itself, so the allergen notation was next to the meat description. I ordered the schnitzel without breading. The schnitzel came with fries and a side salad. I’m so grateful I was able to have a traditional German dish, modified to fit my dietary needs!”

Schiller Bräu
Location: Munich, Germany
“I had the pork schnitzel, and it was amazing! The staff made my schnitzel gluten-free by not breading it. The schnitzel came with cranberries and a side of crispy fries. This was a local brew house, but I enjoyed a glass of wine. This was my favorite restaurant in Munich because the food was delicious, they accommodated my allergies, and the ambiance was super cool. The aesthetic is very warm, cozy, and welcoming. Make reservations in advance!”

Bergrestaurant Allmend
Location: Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
“We stopped here mid-run while skiing from Klein Scheidegg to Wengen. Waitress was lovely and spoke perfect English. We also showed her our German allergy card. She confirmed that the rosti, bacon, cheese, onion and fried egg contained no other ingredients and would be safe for peanut and tree nut allergies. Our daughter loved getting to eat traditional food, and it was a beautiful place to grab lunch while skiing.”

Restaurant Franz
Location: Lucerne, Switzerland
“We ate salads to start and omitted the seeds on top out of precaution. Wiener Schnitzel meal was delicious and nut-free. The server was very well-educated on allergies and informed the kitchen when we placed our order of our allergy concerns. Delicious food with a great view of the lake. Highly recommend! We found that restaurants within hotels tended to be better informed regarding allergy precautions.”
