Use the official nutrition page for the correct country

Search the restaurant name with “nutrition,” “calories,” “ingredients” or “allergen menu,” and open the official country site. Nutrition values and ingredient declarations can differ by market. Check that the page covers the right country and product version before using it to compare menu items.

Match the serving size and customization

Calories and nutrition facts apply to a stated serving and recipe. A larger size, extra topping, alternate sauce, substitute milk or side can change the total. Read the product details and add the changes to your order you actually plan to order. Do not assume a nutrition value for a standard item applies to a modified order.

Read calories in context

A calorie number helps describe the energy listed for a menu portion, but it does not answer every nutrition question. Serving sizes, preparation and optional add-ons matter. Use the restaurant’s detailed nutrition facts when you need values for other nutrients, and consult a qualified health professional for personal dietary advice.

Treat allergen information as item-specific

A restaurant allergen guide may identify listed ingredients but cannot always resolve how food is prepared at your local restaurant. Check the exact menu item, sauces and sides, and read the restaurant’s own limitations. If you have a serious allergy, contact the restaurant directly before ordering.

Verify before ordering rather than relying on a screenshot

Recipes, suppliers and menu items can change. A saved image, old PDF or third-party nutrition page may no longer match the current product. Open the restaurant’s current nutrition or allergen guide and confirm the location’s menu when exact details matter.

Questions to ask the restaurant

Name the item, size and changes to your order, and explain your concern about the ingredients or how the food is made. Ask whether the current ingredient or allergen information applies to that exact order and location. A general question about a whole category may not identify a particular sauce or preparation step.

How MenuAndMe handles nutrition and allergen links

MenuAndMe links restaurant pages to official local menu or nutrition resources where available. Our menu summaries are not medical advice and do not replace current ingredient, nutrition or allergen information from the restaurant. Always confirm details with the selected location before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find calories for a restaurant menu item?

Use the restaurant’s current local nutrition guide or product page. Match the exact size and customization, because the calorie value can change when toppings, sauces, sides or drinks are added.

Do restaurant calorie counts include sides and drinks?

Not always. A nutrition value may describe only the main item, while a meal bundle includes separate sides and drinks. Check the serving description and add each component if you need to understand the full order.

Are nutrition and allergen details the same in every country?

No. Recipes, suppliers and product formulations can differ between markets. Use the guide for the country where you are ordering, and confirm the exact customized item with the restaurant when dietary or allergy details matter.

Browse restaurant menus by country

Use a local directory to find a restaurant menu for the market where you plan to order. Each restaurant page links to its local restaurant menu, so you can check current dishes, prices and availability for the right country.
