DOHA: Seven restaurants in Doha will take part in the Good France/Goût de France event on March 19 when restaurants in 150 countries will celebrate France’s gastronomy by inviting the public to share a ‘French dinner’.
Participants include Aramede Restaurant at Crowne Plaza Doha - The Business Park, IDAM Alain Ducasse at Museum of Islamic Art, La Villa at Mercure Grand Hotel, W Doha, Yum Yum at K108 Hotel, Seasons Restaurant at Moevenpick Doha and La Mer Restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton Doha.
The concept of the event is to bring together, for the first time, restaurants from all over the world to celebrate French gourmet cooking that has been on the Unesco World Heritage list since 2010.
More than 1,500 ‘French-style dinners’ will be served the same evening as part of the global event organised at the initiative of world famous French Chef, Alain Ducasse, and French Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development, Laurent Fabius.
“French cuisine is the interpreter of a cuisine that has evolved towards lightness in harmony with its environment...
“The common point of the event is generosity, sharing and the love for what is beautiful and tastes good. It will be a delightful interlude and an opportunity to celebrate French cuisine worldwide,” said Ducasse.
