Default Travel with allergy in Europe

We need to avoid eggs and nuts and peanuts.
Do you know if the restaurants there are aware of allergies?


In large cities you won't have a problem (and you will be able
buy specialist foods from shops if you need them). Small towns
and villages are more of a lottery.


German restaurant menus will list allergi information in footnotes (look
for small numbers next to the dishes). It's so pervasive that I believe
it's mandatory.

It will help a lot if you can talk about the problem in German.


The words are similar in German, so really shouldn't be a problem.
