Hong Kong’s 8 Absolute Best Keto Restaurants
You know, I’ve never felt guilty about being a big eater. Carbs, calories, cholesterol – all those are just numbers to me. What matters is that I keep my heart and tummy happy!
But of course, our city is also filled with health-conscious eaters (jealous!) and even my gang has them. Just yesterday, two of our group were discussing the difficulty of keeping up keto diets here, which made me wonder: are good keto eateries here really in short supply?
Well, once the idea hit, I just had to pursue it. Fortunately for me, my friends were only too happy to get roped into several weeks of trying out restaurants that would fit their diets!
So today, I have a list of the best keto restaurants in Hong Kong. Check out which ones we picked at the end of it all!
