Australians love to eat out, and eating at restaurants and cafes has become an accepted and enjoyable part of our lives. Restaurants, cafes, pubs and clubs cater for most people's dietary requirements. However some individuals have specific health or dietary requirements which can limit their menu choices and make choosing a meal at a restaurant a painstaking process. Dietary restrictions may not just be a matter of taste or lifestyle preference, but could have very serious health repercussions including life threatening food allergies.
