Say this to the waiter (French)
Sans accompagnements de pommes de terre, s'il vous plaît. Je prendrais des asperges, haricots verts ou épinards vapeur/sautés. La béarnaise est-elle authentique, sans farine ni sucre?
No potato sides, please. I'd like steamed or sautéed asparagus, green beans, or spinach. Béarnaise: authentic, no flour or sugar, please.

Potato sides are a primary risk, ensure explicit omission. Hidden sugars in some commercial Béarnaise (though rare for classic versions), starchy vegetable purees.
