Say this to the waiter (German)
Zum Kalbspaillard bitte keine Kartoffeln, Reis oder Brot. Gerne eine doppelte Portion Blattsalat mit Öl-Essig-Dressing, und bitte ohne Zucker im Dressing.
No potato, rice, or bread with the Kalbspaillard, please. I'd like a double portion of green salad with oil and vinegar dressing, ensuring no sugar in it.
Watch out for
Default side dishes (fries, potatoes) are high-carb. Salad dressings can contain sugar; always confirm oil/vinegar or request plain oil and vinegar to dress yourself. Hidden sugars in herb butter (less common but possible).
