First organized in 2015 as a celebration of the best of French gastronomy and responsible cuisine, Goût de France returns with the aim of helping the food and beverage sector bounce back from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as promoting sustainable and eco-friendly practices in the culinary profession.

How to join

Chefs and restaurant owners: Each participating chef and restaurant will propose and serve a traditional French menu (following the order of starter, main course, cheeses, dessert, accompanied by French wines and spirits) in their respective restaurants from October 14 to 22, 2021. These menus must demonstrate the richness of French gastronomy, responsible cuisine, and may highlight local culinary traditions in the Philippines. Restaurants are also encouraged to offer menus with reduced levels of fat, sugar, and salt, and with vegetables and grains.

The general public: they are invited to experience French culinary tradition and expertise by dining in or ordering from any of the participating Gout de France restaurants throughout the duration of the campaign. Gastronomy-themed side events will also be organized by the French Embassy’s institutional partners.

This year’s edition also puts the spotlight on the gastronomic heritage and uniqueness of the Centre Loire Valley region.
