Goût de France is taking place this weekend!

Heads up Francophiles! Make it a bon weekend by swinging by the annual Goût de France! On May 24 and 25, Paseo de Roxas Avenue in Makati will be transformed into something of a charming outdoor market as French wines, nibbles, bonbons, and other delicacies will be made available for everyone to enjoy, thanks to French chefs, restaurateurs, distributors and other retailers. There are about 29 booths offering everything French — from oysters to wine, from chocolate to cheese, croissants, canneles, quiches, financiers, and more, On Saturday, there's even going to be a free cooking demo by Chef Marc Chalopin of Enderun Colleges, followed by a DJ set from DJ JB Bolaños. The much-awaited Waiter's Race meanwhile will take place on Sunday, at 3pm. Unfamiliar with the Waiter's Race? It's a French tradition where cafe serves compete on can bring you an unspilled bottle of cold Evian water the fastest. The idea of Goût de France is to give a taste of French culture enough to make you want more because the following weekend, 19 restaurants including Brasserie Sagana, Dr. Win?, L'Entrecote, and Le Cordon Bleu Ateneo de Manila Institute, will be offering special French menus to satisfy your cravings. Goût de France opens on Saturday at 4pm, while the Sunday edition opens much earlier at 8am. It is brought to you by Ayala Land, Taste of France and the Embassy of France to the Philippines and Micronesia, with the special participation of Enderun Colleges Ecole Ducasse and Le Cordon Bleu Ateneo de Manila. — LA, GMA Integrated News
