ktmoomau Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I am going to dinner next Friday with my best friend. She has two boys, 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 years old. They eat a lot of things and are pretty comfortable in that regard. The 2 1/2 year old doesn't eat a whole lot. He is allergic to dairy, eggs, nuts and sesame. My Bestie said not to worry about him too much, but I need a restaurant who will at least take the allergy seriously and where we can likely find something for him. I will be footing the bill so any price. They will probably be at the Smithsonian beforehand, but they are extremely low key and can travel somewhat in DC or potentially meet closer to me in Arlington. I have had food restrictions, but am not as sure on places that can handle allergies like this that are also not a horrible place to have kiddos (although they are very good little boys). I will certainly call any place before going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will certainly call any place before going. A good rule of thumb is: The larger the chain, the better they deal with allergies. That said, I'd start with Mitsitam (selfishly) or Matchbox on Capitol Hill SE (for the kiddos). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robyn Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Clyde's Restaurant Group is very good with allergies and is very careful about any cross contamination (I waitressed there for a summer several years ago). If they're at the Smithsonian, maybe you could meet them at Old Ebbitt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
