Hofbräuhaus München

“A different allergen menu is available upon request! Definitely gave me peace of mind eating here being out of the country.”

@shelt1ol who manages celiac

California Bean

“I had an incredible experience at California Bean. They had an English menu, and each item noted if it had allergens, preservatives, dyes, sulfates, etc. This must have been mandatory in Munich because every restaurant I went to had allergies and additive notes. I had a basic egg, bacon, and gluten-free baguette breakfast. There are lots of gluten-free options! This is a must-visit restaurant in Munich!”

Mezza Via

“The owners of this delicious, wonderful Italian restaurant were so helpful with my kiddos’ allergies and making sure they had something safe for dinner and dessert.”

Augustiner-Keller

“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

“I had the Viennese schnitzel here, and it was a great experience! The menu was also very clear about what specific items had allergens. I ordered the schnitzel without breading. The schnitzel came with fries and a side salad. Those were allergen-free, so they didn’t have any notations next to their descriptions. Menu items that had allergens in all parts of the meal had a larger allergen notation.”

Rischart: Café am Markt

“I visited here on a trip to Germany with my family. We got breakfast. I stuck to eggs, avocado, and some veggies to be safe. It was very good.”

@kaylacappiello who manages celiac and tree nut and milk allergies

Backwerk

“Super friendly take away place for fast meals. All foods are labeled with allergens (pastries, sandwiches, etc.). There are a bunch of BackWerk’s throughout the city.”

Mr. Pancake

“Great experience! It is a smaller restaurant, so it might not be the best for allergies that are more common in pancakes. However, it was great for my nut allergies since the only nuts were in a Nutella topping. I got the Mr. Bacon meal!”

Schiller Bräu

“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 my favorite restaurant in Munich because the food was delicious, they accommodated my allergies, and the ambiance was super cool.”

Nuernberger Bratwurst Gloeckl am Dom

“Some items on the English menu were marked with an allergen key. It was a little hard to decipher. I got ribs and stuck to something that was naturally gluten-free. It was great. We sat outside and had lunch here.”

@kaylacappiello who manages celiac and tree nut and milk allergies

Hotel NH Collection München Bavaria

“This was a great hotel for our stay in Munich! The rooms were nice and spacious, and the hotel was very close to the train station and a place for guided tours. I believe that they offer breakfast in the morning for an added fee, however I never tried it, so I am not sure how allergy-friendly it is.”

Zum Franziskaner

“Ate here for lunch one of the days—clear numbering system on the menu, good amount of choices and seemed like a well run operation with lots of staff.”

@twigletpuff who manages peanut and tree nut allergies

L’Osteria München Künstlerhaus

“We loved this restaurant so much that we came twice! There is a helpful allergen menu online, and there were limited nuts on the menu. I got the gnocchi with chicken and the Hawaiian pizza, and they were both delicious!”

Hard Rock Cafe

“Our waitress was happy to check on ingredients in the kids meals and communicate our allergies to the kitchen. My kids opted for the hot dog/fries/fruit and pasta dishes. While we aren’t allergic to gluten, I want to note that this location has an entirely separate gluten-free menu available.”

@cbuckley who manages tree nut, milk, egg, and avocado allergies

Ratskeller München

“Excellent service here—have eaten here twice. Both times staff were prepared and presented an allergen menu in my language with a clear numbered key (common across Europe) with a wide variety of allergens covered. Large number of dishes that I could eat, and lots of choice. Also sampled their Riesling—meticulously clean cutlery and glassware. Could not recommend more.”

Ruff’s Burger Marienplatz München

“I was able to get beef patties without the bun and a side of fries.”

@brba5496 who manages peanut, tree nut, milk, egg, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, and seed allergies

McDonald’s

“McDonald’s is always a consistent, safe place I can eat at around the world! The tablet ordering system had an English option and an allergen menu available. I ate here for both breakfast and lunch throughout the trip and had no problem eating here!”
