From Sauerkraut to Khachapuri: Navigating Georgian Cuisine Safely with MM Food

Ah, Georgia! The very name conjures images of majestic Caucasus mountains, ancient monasteries, and, of course, a culinary landscape rich in flavour and tradition. As a German traveler, you might be used to the comforting familiarity of Bratwurst and hearty Brot. But stepping into the vibrant food scene of Georgia, with its aromatic spices, unique cheeses, and diverse meats, can be an exciting adventure – and potentially a challenging one if you have dietary restrictions.

Worries about hidden allergens or unknown ingredients can often cast a shadow over the joy of discovering new tastes. Is that delicious Khinkali safe for my nut allergy? Does Khachapuri contain dairy? How do I explain my gluten sensitivity to a Georgian waiter who speaks no English?

Forget the days of awkwardly pointing at menus or relying on vague translations. With mm food, you're empowered to enjoy every bite of Georgia's incredible gastronomy, safely and confidently.

Your Passport to Worry-Free Georgian Dining

Imagine sitting in a cozy Ruispiri restaurant, presented with a handwritten menu in Georgian script. intimidating, right? mm food lets you simply scan the menu with your phone, and it instantly translates every dish into your native German.

2. Tailored to Your Plate: Dietary Restrictions Made Easy

This is where mm food truly shines for travelers with dietary needs. Before you even step into a restaurant, you input your specific dietary restrictions into the app – whether it's a pre-defined list like gluten-free, vegetarian, or nut-allergy, or a custom restriction you define yourself.

Once your restrictions are loaded and you've translated the menu, mm food's AI goes to work. It meticulously analyzes every item on the menu against your personalized profile. The result? The app intelligently highlights and suggests exactly what dishes are safe for you to eat.

• Empowered dining: You'll confidently order 'Lobio' knowing it's perfectly safe, or discover new, delicious alternatives you might have otherwise overlooked.
