Keto at a Greek or Mediterranean Restaurant

It can be, with a few swaps. Grilled meats, fish, olive oil, feta and big salads make Mediterranean and Greek menus naturally low in carbs. Leave the pita in the basket and dip vegetables instead.

Kebabs, lamb chops, grilled fish, Greek salad, tzatziki with vegetables, olives.

Pita, hummus with bread, couscous, rice, baklava. Hidden carbs to watch for: honey on grilled halloumi, feta and in some dressings; bulgur in tabbouleh and kibbeh; rice in dolmades (stuffed grape leaves); potatoes roasted under souvlaki and lamb.

Try: “Could I have cucumber and celery for dipping?” Keep requests short and friendly; kitchens handle substitutions all the time.

A dry Greek white such as Assyrtiko, a dry rosé, or ouzo with water.
