Navigating French Bistros with Tyramine Sensitivity

Dining at a French bistro is a delight—until tyramine-rich ingredients turn your meal into a health risk. Aged cheeses, cured meats, and fermented sauces are staples of French cuisine, but they’re also high in tyramine, a concern for those managing migraines, blood pressure, or MAOI-related dietary restrictions. With the mm food app, you can savor authentic French flavors without compromising your health. Here’s how:

1. Translate Menus Instantly

French menus often highlight dishes like charcuterie boards or coq au vin—both tyramine hotspots. Use the mm food app to translate menu items into your native language, ensuring you understand every ingredient. No more guessing what fromage affiné (aged cheese) or sauce au poivre (pepper sauce with potential fermented bases) contains.

2. Custom Tyramine Filters

Input your dietary restrictions into the app, and our AI cross-references them with menu items. For example, a classic Boeuf Bourguignon might be flagged for its red wine reduction, while a grilled filet de daurade (sea bream) with steamed vegetables could be marked as safe. The app also highlights low-tyramine alternatives, like fresh herb-roasted chicken over dishes with aged sauces.

3. Ask Smart Questions

If you’re unsure about a dish, use the in-app chat to ask for ingredient clarifications. Example: “Does the quiche Lorraine contain aged Gruyère or fresh cheese?” Our AI analyzes restaurant-specific menus and responds in real time, empowering you to make informed choices.

With mm food, your French bistro experience stays deliciously safe. Bon appétit!
