“Restaurant Cards” assist international travelers and others others who must communicate with food servers and do not share a common langage. Triumph Dining offers a set of ten laminated plastic cards, and each card is adapted to the situation. For example, the card written in Mexican Spanish mentions the need to avoid flour tortillas and the Japanese card warns about soy sauce and imitation crab.
People who prefer a do-it-yourself approach can download and print cards in 48 different languages from Celiac Travel.com. Cards in Spanish and Portuguese are available here. These cards provide a space where the traveler can add additional information.
