Food Allergies? No Problem! How to Navigate Amsterdam’s Food Scene with Ease

Travelling with food allergies or dietary restrictions can be stressful, but Amsterdam’s diverse and accommodating food scene makes it easier to find safe and delicious options.

Start by doing a bit of research before your trip—many restaurants in Amsterdam offer allergen information on their websites. When dining out, don’t hesitate to communicate your needs to the staff—most Amsterdam restaurants are well-versed in handling dietary restrictions and are happy to accommodate. If your child has a severe allergy, consider bringing translation cards that explain the allergy in Dutch, just to be safe. For those with gluten-free needs, the city has several bakeries and cafés that specialize in gluten-free goodies. And if you’re staying in an apartment, take advantage of Amsterdam’s organic supermarkets, where you can find a wide range of allergy-friendly products. With a little preparation, you can enjoy Amsterdam’s culinary delights without worry!
