Initiated in 2015 by Alain
Ducasse, the #GoûtdeFrance / #GoodFrance event is inspired by Auguste
Escoffier’s “dîners d’Épicure” in 1912, with the aim of promoting French cuisine
abroad.
Since 2010, French gastronomy has
been listed as intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO and is considered one of the key pillars
of France’s tourism appeal. The event is
coordinated by the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. “Goût
de/Good France” is part of a broader
series of initiatives promoting French gastronomy to enhance its visibility both in France and
internationally, with around 5,000 participating restaurants worldwide.
“Through Goût de France,
Cebu becomes a place of encounter where gastronomy transcends borders and
creates dialogue between cultures. This celebration highlights not only the excellence
and creativity of French
culinary heritage, but also the remarkable talent, hospitality, and
dynamism of Cebu’s chefs and institutions...
Together,
they remind
us that
the table
remains one
of the most
elegant expressions
of friendship
between peoples,” said
Nicolas Facino, Executive Director of Alliance Française de Cebu.
In the Philippines, the event is organized by the Embassy of France in the Philippines in partnership locally with Alliance Française de Cebu. This year, around twenty
restaurants are participating nationwide, including three in Cebu City:
Feria by Radisson Blu Cebu, Café des Amis, and Michel’s.
To mark the occasion, members of the press were cordially invited to a press conference on May 14, 2026 (Thursday) at 3:00 PM, at the Santa Maria 1 Ballroom, 2/F Radisson Blu Cebu regarding the festival’s local festivities, featuring a first look at the curated menus and an introduction to the participating chefs.
