Bratislava - Post Report Question and Answers

What do people who suffer from environmental or food allergies need to know?

Slovaks are familiar with food allergies, but you still have to be vigilant. I would suggest printing out a card in Slovak explaining the situation. Take 24hr allergy pills:) - Aug 2025


Food is well-marked in restaurants - Aug 2017


There are gluten free shops around. All menus have allergens labeled. - Jun 2017


Everywhere in Bratislava there is a list of potential allergens on the menus -- each has a designated number. The number of the allergens in each dish is listed next to the name of the dish. It's helpful to people with allergies (though if someone has a nut allergy, be aware that pine nuts are not considered nuts here -- so you would need to specifically ask about that one!) - Sep 2016


No one complains of allergies too much that I know. - Jun 2015
