Eating out on keto doesn't have to feel like a compromise - you just need to ask the right questions. 🥬🔥
We headed to Forries to test out their LCHF options, and while the menu is promising, here’s how we made sure our meals stayed keto-friendly:
We ordered the Chef’s Catch (grilled hake with lemon butter), and asked if it could be done without any flour or coating, just straight-up grilled. ✅
It usually comes with sweet potato chips, but we swapped those out for cauliflower mash, warm, creamy, and spot on for low-carb.
The side veg included carrots, red and green peppers, asparagus, and red onion — mostly clean, with a little natural sweetness from the carrots. We kept the mix but made sure they were grilled in butter instead of oil or glaze.
We also ordered the Forries Classic, and asked for just a light drizzle of pesto, since many restaurant pestos can include seed oils or unnecessary extras.
💡 Here’s what to ask when you’re ordering out on keto:
– “How is it cooked - grilled, fried, or coated?”
– “What oil or fat is used for cooking?”
– “Can I swap the chips for cauli mash or salad?”
– “Is the pesto or dressing house-made, and what’s in it?”
Small tweaks, smart questions, and suddenly, eating out becomes part of your plan, not a break from it.
Where should we try next?
