If your idea of a holiday includes great food, then you’ll want to dive into the art of “good eating” in one of La Foa’s restaurants. Surrounded by the world’s largest lagoon, New Caledonia is a paradise for seafood lovers. Try the bougna, a traditional Kanak dish made with fish and root vegetables, all wrapped in banana leaves and slow-cooked. For meat enthusiasts, you’ll appreciate the quality of Caledonian beef, raised in wide open spaces and often cooked on the barbecue. Much like its people, the local cuisine is a vibrant mix of French, Oceanian, and Asian flavors.
