Keto friendliness
This cuisine requires careful selection, but offers sufficient protein and fat options if traditional carb-heavy sides are strictly avoided.
Top ingredients
Grilled meats like chevapi and pljeskavica, sirene cheese, fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and various leafy greens are readily available and keto-friendly.
Danger zones
Beware of ubiquitous breads, moussaka, tavce gravce (baked beans), sarma (cabbage rolls with rice), and soups/stews often thickened with flour or containing potatoes/rice.
Best for
Best for disciplined keto dieters comfortable with specifying 'no bread/rice/potatoes' and focusing on simple grilled meats, salads, and cheese.
