A total of 2000 chefs and 2000 menus from over 2000 restaurants in 150 countries on all five continents will participate in the Goût de/Good France event to celebrate French gastronomy on March 21, 2017.

The Goût de/Good France menu includes an aperitif with finger food, a starter, one or two main course(s), a cheese platter and a dessert, accompanied by French wines and champagnes.
Dinners served simultaneously in participating restaurants will honor the merits of French cuisine, its capacity for innovation, and its values: sharing, enjoying, and respecting the principles of high-quality, environmentally responsible cuisine.

This event, organized by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development and chef Alain Ducasse, is inspired by Auguste Escoffier, who launched the “Dîners d’Épicure” (Epicurean Dinners) initiative in 1912: the same menu, on the same day, in several world cities, for as many guests as possible. The aim is to showcase the French lifestyle, regional products and, more broadly, to promote France as a tourist destination worldwide.
