My Food is a little patch of South Africa in France, one with an extraordinarily large barbecue. Known as braai in Afrikaans, this ginormous cooking machine, which kind of looks like a steam locomotive, carries with it the spirit of the South African lifestyle: family, friends, food and fun. The size of the portions are as impressive and, unsurprisingly, meat is a big feature on the menu, coming in the form of regional delicacies like biltong (dried beef), droëwors (dried beef sausage), and boerewors (traditional sausages with butternut squash). It’s a great place to put some inches on your waistline and a smile on your face.

La Cave is part of an exciting new trend in which Parisian restaurants are choosing to combine quality wine merchants, luxury delicatessens and elegant restaurants under one roof.
