Keto friendliness
This cuisine can be adapted to keto, but requires careful selection and modification of traditional dishes.
Top ingredients
Pork, beef, chicken, duck, lard, sour cream, sausages, cabbage, bell peppers, and paprika are excellent keto staples.
Danger zones
Beware of ubiquitous potatoes, noodles, dumplings (nokedli, galuska), flour-thickened stews and soups, and all traditional baked goods or desserts.
Best for
Best for flexible keto dieters willing to request modifications, skip traditional sides, and prioritize protein and fat from main dishes.
