Exactly!!!!! We will have to avoid any restaurants that even have nuts on the premesis. It's too risky, most people don't realize how deadly nut allergies can be. We hate that he lives in fear but are thankful he doesnt have much worse.

We are the family who gets snarky looks from passengers within 6 rows in front or behind us. Luckily they don't serve peanuts in the shell as those create so much dust.

Yes, but they may be outdated. Many restaurants have a chalk board and menus change often. Have you asked the resort?

I would not rely on online menus as they might not describe the actual ingredients.

Most airlines serve the nut free snack when they give out those little free packets but when we travel first class they serve the warm nuts in a dish which we like. I can imagine that could pose a problem if he were to walk up through FC or traveling FC. Then there are the passengers like us that always pack nut snacks too. I feel for your predicament.

OK, well, I am learning something about allergies here. I think as others have said, menus will do you no good, you need to talk directly to the chef/cook. I don't think, even if the menu is 100% correct, that it is going to say whether they fry in peanut oil or not.

I've noticed that also. You're probably referring to Le Chanteclair. alacarte does have an FB page - although that isn't necessarily current. The other 20 restaurants have menus that should be helpful to some.

davew said: I have the peanut allergy big time. In 17 trips to SXM, I've never had a problem. We eat mostly in Grand Case and there the wait staff is very attentive to allergy issues. Years ago, before allergies became so common it was difficult at home or abroad. FWIW: Peanut oil used for frying is ok because the allergen does not survive the manufacturing process. This is fortunate because most every gourmet restaurant uses peanut oil for its high smoke temperature. Dave.....we are too scared to even try peanut oil. We just had a recent peanut component blood test and the allergy is severe to all nuts. My son doesn't even qualify for the peanut challenge. I'd like to get a heads up by looking at menu's so I know which places to avoid. Trouble is that we are traveling with another family and it would be a major inconvenience to drive to restaurants only to get right back in the car and look for another place. I'd rather know in advance which places are a definite off the list or I can always feed him first and the rest of us can eat which might have to be the plan. Feel bad for my boy though. Good to know about Grand Case.....are the Lolo's safe?
