How to make it keto
Request no starchy sides like potatoes (roasted, puréed, or gratins), rice, or pasta. If a sauce is offered, confirm it is cream/butter-based and not thickened with flour or containing sugar (e.g., avoid fruit reductions). Ask for plain cooked green vegetables (e.g., spinach, asparagus, green beans) or a simple green salad.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Sans accompagnement féculent, s'il vous plaît. Si une sauce, est-elle à la crème/beurre, sans farine/sucre ? Des légumes verts nature ou une salade.
