No cheese, bread or sugar are available at a recently opened Berlin eatery. In fact, guests are served dishes made only of ingredients that would have been available to their hunter-gatherer ancestors. The Stone Age fare is prepared by adherents of the Paleolithic movement, who say their restaurant is the first of its kind in Europe.
The restaurant menu shows a stereotypical image of modern humanity's forbearer, the jutting profile of a hirsute caveman. Inside, diners eat at candle-lit tables with a contemporary cave painting hanging in the background. These hints aside, Berlin's Sauvage restaurant looks similar to many of the German capital's other trendy eateries. But the chalkboard out front announcing a "Real Food Revolution -- Paleolithic Cuisine!" alerts diners to the fact that their Stone Age menu might offer up some surprises.
Sauvage, which is also the French word for "savage" or "wild," is part of the Paleolithic diet movement, whereby adherents eat only foodstuffs that would have been available to Stone Age humans. This means organic, unprocessed fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, and herbs. The truly obsessed build an entire lifestyle around the concept, mimicking caveman-era exercise -- lifting boulders and running barefoot, with some even emulating the blood loss they believe Stone Age hunters might have experienced in pursuit of their dinner by donating blood every few months.
But guests at Sauvage can try "Paleo" without feeling obligated to take on a strictly Stone Age lifestyle.
"Many people think the Paleolithic diet is just some hipster trend but it's a worldwide phenomenon, with an online community that spans the globe," Sauvage's Boris Leite-Poço told SPIEGEL ONLINE of the growing interest in caveman cooking. "Right now the trend is probably strongest in the United States,...

This is not for me!
I don't want unclothed males
(that have never showered in their life)
Bringing food into MY kitchen
Or a kitchen where my food will be served from!
But image yorkie they will have “increased muscle mass, clearer skin and a higher sex drive.”
Doesn’t that have its attractions?
That is a very bad business model
Ugghh. Grock want food. No need to cook. Eat raw.
This is the wave of the future, and thanks to Obama, all of America will soon be up to the caveman standards.
It may be a bad business model but at the say in the real estates business - Location, location, location.
“Leite-Poço opened up Sauvage alongside his partner and fellow Paleo convert, Rodrigo Leite-Poço, in a former brothel this May.”
NOooooooo. What has attraction to me is a cold, crisp salad, with fresh romaine lettuce, Caesear’s dressing and LOTS of freshly shredded parmesean cheese and garlic croutons, fresh, hot from the oven French bread, a filet mignon (medium rare) wrapped in bacon, and served with bernaise sauce, and a baked potato with LOTS of butter, sour cream and freshly chopped chives.
I would like it served by a handsome (CLEAN) young man in a tuxedo, as I sit across the table from a sweet gentleman, and a nice glass of cabernet to toast each other, and listen to some sweet music, like “Can I have this dance, for the rest of my Life?”
OMG - I hope your dance card has a small space for an ardent admirer.
The diet is pretty decent, but this barefoot boulder stuff is nonsense. Some people always take things too far.
That depends....if it will be in a cave, with unclothed 'apes' jumping around, I think my dance card may be filled up!
Of course, there could be other options.........
I suspect that cavemen ate a fair amount of half rotten meat scavenged from predator’s leftovers.
lol. That fits.
I was referring to a modern day equivalent. Meat, veg, fruits, nuts and seeds are a healthy diet. (I mean bought from a store) I tried it for 6 weeks, and I leaned out pretty good. (Weightlifting as well)
I’ve got two words for these cave man wanna-bes: “modern dentistry”.
Yeah it sounds like a decent diet.
even in Roman times, where bathing was important and frequent, a third of kids died before age 10 and the average man lived to about 22.
I could only imagine the rates for the cave men.
The hardest part was not having pizza...I love pizza.
No dear yorkie not in a cave but in a caravel - as least my yacht - dancing beneath the stars with the breeze blowing through your hair to reminding me of the perfumed winds or Araby
