You can hardly scroll through social media without seeing someone post about the keto diet these days.
As 225 Dine reports in its latest weekly e-newsletter, the keto diet consists of a high-fat, low-carb lifestyle. It’s most popular for its help with weight loss, but fans of the diet say it has health benefits to people with epilepsy, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome and acne.
Whether you’re already on the keto diet or considering it, 225 Dine has compiled a list of several places in Baton Rouge to try keto-friendly dishes that also happen to be delicious.

- Mestizo Restaurant: From frisco tacos with grilled skirt steak served on lettuce wraps to a hearty cauliflower bowl with grilled chicken, there’s a keto-dish for everyone to try.
- Southfin Southern Poke: Customers can build their own poke bowl from scratch. Instead of choosing their popular purple rice, replace the carbs with mixed greens or zucchini noodles.
- Zoës Kitchen: For a snack, you can pick from Zoës Kitchen’s shrimp, chicken or steak kabobs. For lunch, try the cauliflower rice bowl with chilled cauliflower rice, tzatziki, Israeli skhug, feta cheese, cucumbers and fresh dill.
- Lit Pizza: While you may not be able to indulge in a stuffed crust pizza, you can dive head first into Lit Pizza’s homemade cauliflower crust made of freshly grated cauliflower, cage-free eggs, Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Just be sure to watch social media—the crust often sells out.
- The Velvet Cactus: The Velvet Cactus offers a delicious keto-friendly cauliflower nachos that include tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapenos, cilantro, cheese and avocados piled atop a plate of roasted cauliflower.
- City Pork: Make your own keto-friendly picnic with a City Pork charcuterie board.
