Keto friendliness
German cuisine is manageable for keto dieters, but requires active avoidance of ubiquitous high-carb sides and sauces.
Top ingredients
Excellent traditional keto ingredients include various sausages (scrutinize ingredients), roasted or grilled pork, beef, and fermented cabbage like sauerkraut.
Danger zones
The biggest carb traps are omnipresent potatoes (fried, boiled, mashed), dumplings (Knödel), pasta (Spätzle), bread, and flour-thickened gravies or sweetened red cabbage (Rotkohl).
Best for
This cuisine works best for diligent keto dieters who are comfortable requesting modifications, omitting sides, and focusing primarily on meat-heavy dishes.
What to drink
Drinks you will see at German restaurants, cafés and stalls, rated the same way as the food.
