With food allergies walking into a local Czech restaurant and ordering a random meal is not an option. Without knowing the ingredients of the meals, how they are prepared, or the ability to ask and instruct the waiter, you are very limited in what you can safely order. Although tourist friendly restaurants have English menus the local restaurants do not.
To avoid being exposed to an allergic ingredient, below is text to print out and show to the Czech speaking waiter before ordering your meal. Copy the text directly from this webpage and add/remove allergies as required. Or download the printable PDF - the PDF version is not editable so the allergies are listed with boxes so that you can check off the allergies applicable in your case.
Dear Sir / Madam,
Be aware that I am allergic to the following checked items:
fresh water fish
seafood
peanuts
tree nuts
nut extracts
peanut oil
sunflower oil
caraway seeds
artificial sweeteners
gelatine
cow's milk
eggs
wheat gluten
soy
Please let me know if my meal contains any of these ingredients. If you are in doubt I kindly ask that you make certain with the chef.
It is extremely important that in the cooking and preparing of my meal the above checked ingredients are not used and do not make any contact with my meal. To avoid cross contamination please avoid reusing utensils that might of come in contact with the above.
Thank you for your understanding.

I hope you find this website helpful. I created the website because I love Prague, I enjoy writing about it, and I get a weird kick out of helping you make your trip to Prague more enjoyable.
I wrote a book about local travel in Prague. The book is my pride, my joy, my unbiological offspring. It was written with a passionate heart. If you find this website helpful consider getting my book full of useful tips that will instil in you the confidence to wander the local streets of Prague. The book is included in the popular (proud to say over 1000 sold) Prague Local Explore Kit.
Thank you,
