How to make it keto
Crucially, request 'ungerüstet' or 'natural' (unbreaded). Confirm no flour or breadcrumbs are used. Ask for a side of steamed low-carb vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli, asparagus) or sauerkraut instead of fries, potato salad, or mashed potatoes. Avoid creamy sauces unless ingredients are confirmed keto-friendly.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs/flour in traditional schnitzel, flour/sugar in sauces (e.g., Jägersoße, Rahmsoße), potato sides (fries, potato salad), hidden sugars in salad dressings if ordered as a side.
