Keto friendliness
A luxurious safe harbor built on foundational fats; it is one of the easiest cuisines to maintain high fat ratios.
Top ingredients
Heavy cream, high-quality butter, diverse artisanal cheeses, duck confit, steak, and eggs.
Danger zones
The baguette is a staple, as are potatoes (frites, gratin); avoid roux-based (flour-thickened) sauces and delicate pastries.
Best for
High-fat, classic keto dieters who want rich, decadent meals without needing to drastically alter the chef's vision.
What to drink
Drinks you will see at French restaurants, cafés and stalls, rated the same way as the food.
