Now in its eleventh year globally, Good France (Goût de / Good France) was launched by France’s Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs to spotlight French gastronomy as a pillar of cultural diplomacy. The 2025 edition spans five continents, with participating chefs emphasising seasonality and sustainable sourcing.
