In May I’m going to start a super strict medical diet (Autoimmune protocol) and it’s intense and obnoxious (no gluten, dairy, grains, legumes, nightshades, eggs, nuts, seeds.. the list goes on) and while I won’t have extreme consequences if I have the above, it’s highly recommended to not have “cheat days”.

Depressed af at the thought of giving up fine dining, and wondering if there’s any hope of places actually accommodating this.

I see plenty of restaurants that have listed on their site “dietary needs can be accommodated for with proper notice” , however I assume they mean simpler ones such as no gluten, vegetarian, etc.

However, I’d hate to not try and miss out. Would put in a request for this at least a couple weeks if not months in advance. I’d be happy to pay an extra fee , even.

Has anyone actually had luck with very intense dietary restrictions being accommodated at fine dining places? (If so please let me know exactly where so I can add to the list!)
