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.
