Benjie’s Munch
1218 W Bitters Rd, Suite 107, San Antonio, 78216
We love a food truck to restaurant transformation! Benjie’s Munch is a much-loved keto restaurant in San Antonio that makes all your comfort food dreams come true.
Owner and Chef Benjie started his food truck to follow his passion of cooking heartfelt, healthy and delicious food. Two years later, he’s setting up a full-fledged restaurant that enjoys a loyal fanbase. His attention to every detail has made the restaurant a hot favorite in San Antonio.
Benjie’s philosophy of ‘every bite should be a best bite’ extends into its Keto Menu seamlessly. From small plates, grilled cheeses, to burgers and desserts, this place offers a wide variety of keto-friendly options. The ‘Keto Quesadilla’ served with a crispy cheddar jack shell sounds like a keto-lover’s dream. The ‘Award-winning Barbacoa Grilled Cheese’ is another eye-catching item on the menu. You’ll need to simply ask for keto breads and buns for your sandwiches. You can also swap out the regular sides for some flash-fried green beans.
Pharm Table
812 S Alamo St #112, San Antonio, TX 78205
Eating clean sure isn’t easy with so many options readily available to push you off track. Life gets a tad bit harder if you’re a vegetarian on a keto diet since most restaurants offer meat-based keto dishes.
Here’s where Pharm Table comes in, with all its holistic glory. With a philosophy to ‘help heal the body through food’, Pharm Table is a keto-friendly restaurant in San Antonio that blends Ayurvedic principles with naturally healthy global cuisines. Chef Elizabeth Johnson has successfully created a space that is a delicious celebration of health, nature and nourishment.
Although it changes according to seasons, the menu continues to be centered on an anti-inflammatory theme. It mainly features plant-based dishes, along with smaller portions of animal-based protein. You’re sure to find several keto-friendly items on offer here, such as the thick and savoury broccoli soup, or the complex Warm Keto Avocado Cabbage Salad. The bone broth is simply a yummy hug in a mug! Every dish is expertly seasoned to perfection with ancient spices that gently improve your digestive health.
HG SPLY CO.
Dallas, Fort Worth, Trophy Club
HG SPLY CO does an excellent job of serving health-conscious food that’s cooked with perfection and care. The menu is packed with low-carb, paleo and keto-friendly options. Short of Hunted/Gathered, HG SPLY CO., is designed to be a communal restaurant that hosts large groups of people, eating and swapping stories over a hearty meal.
For a keto meal, you can kick things off with a Grilled Chicken Chopped Salad with an olive oil vinaigrette. For mains, opt for the delicious coffee-crusted rib-eye with Brussel sprouts. The Fried Cauliflower Rice (how long does rice last?) with a few tweaks can prove to be equally great. You could always build your own bowl with your preference of keto-friendly ingredients for a tailor-made meal.
Epicerie
2307 Hancock Dr, Austin, TX 78756
An airy café and grocery setup, Epicerie is as quaint and unpretentious as it gets. The counter-service style gives a casual appeal that blends well with the earthy interiors. If you’re a fan of French cuisine but follow a keto diet, Epicerie brings you the best of both worlds.
There are several items on the French-American menu that qualify Epicerie to be among the best keto restaurants in Austin. For starters, the Fried Green Tomatoes dish is a refreshing appetizer. The Beef Pastrami is served with a Russian dressing, Swiss cheese, and house sauerkraut (how long does sauerkraut last?), making it an all-rounder keto dish. The Duck Confit (What wine goes well with duck confit?) with farm greens and a shallot vinaigrette is another star feature on the menu. Just remember to hold back on the toast or brioche sides, and you’ll be safe!
