March 6: French Embassy in Nepal is organising the fourth edition of “Goût de France” or Good France, a unique global event held simultaneously in five continents, on March 21.
Organising a press conference on March 5, the embassy said that event will involve French embassies abroad and chefs from around the world on the same evening (March 21) with one common objective: celebrate French gastronomy with the local products and talent.
“This fourth year will see some 3,000 participating restaurants worldwide,” the embassy said in a statement.
During the press conference organized at the Résidence of France in Kathmandu, French Ambassador to Nepal, Yves Carmona said, “There is a traditional strong link between diplomacy and gastronomy. There was a cuisine “à la française” already in the 14th century, well before there were permanent embassies in the 16th century.”
He also said that “although the origin of the event is French, it can be considered a very Nepali event since almost all restaurants or schools are run by Nepalis. It perfectly exemplifies the spirit of openness of French gastronomy and is a testament of Nepali talent”.
This year, following restaurants and schools will participate in this prestigious event from Nepal:
The Old House Pvt Ltd.
Garden Terrace/Soaltee Crowne Plaza.
La Terrace/Global Academy of Tourism & Hospitality Education (GATE).
Rox Restaurant/Hyatt Regency Kathmandu.
The Chimney Fine Dining/Hotel Yak & Yeti.
Silver Mountain School of Hotel Management.
Olive Garden/Radisson Hotel Kathmandu.
Pauline’s Garden.
