GOOD FOOD GOOD MOOD 2026

What is the GOOD FOOD GOOD MOOD Festival?

The most welcoming culinary gathering!

Conceived by Maison Le Marquier, Good Food Good Mood celebrates cooking as a time for sharing, passing on traditions, and enjoying life. Here, we cook outdoors, gather around the griddle, chat, taste, and discover.
With competitions, entertainment, and gourmet experiences, the event highlights flavor, conviviality, and the art of living together, in a unique natural setting in the heart of the Landes region.

The World Plancha Championship

Once upon a time, on the sunny shores of the Atlantic Ocean, there were some clever fishermen who had a brilliant idea: what if we cooked the fish directly on a hot metal griddle over an open flame? No need for a pan, no need for an oven—just a good old steel griddle, a fresh fillet of fish, a little olive oil, and voilà! Griddle cooking was born. Simple, fast, and above all… delicious. The flavors remained intact, the fish stayed tender, and the guests kept smiling.

Over time, the plancha has conquered kitchens around the world. More than just a simple utensil, it has become a symbol of conviviality: we cook together, we share, we laugh, and above all, we feast. And it is precisely this warm and creative atmosphere that inspired the World Plancha Championship!

And this year, it’s time for the big show!
Amateurs and enthusiasts come together for culinary challenges where technique competes with imagination. In pairs, teams face off in good spirits, with a single motto: the joy of cooking and sharing. So, are you ready to step into the arena (or rather, in front of the plancha)?

Cooking workshops

Passionate chefs and experts, including Meilleurs Ouvriers de France and other iconic figures in the culinary world, offer classes and demonstrations open to everyone.

A special opportunity to learn new techniques, discuss ingredients, share unique moments with top chefs, and extend the culinary experience. A rare chance to cook alongside true masters in an atmosphere that is both inspiring and welcoming.

Food-themed activities and experiences

The Good Food Good Mood festival does more than just celebrate grilled cuisine—it’s a true feast for all the senses! With gourmet tastings, a diverse food court blending local flavors and bold creations, lively concerts, and entertainment for all ages, the event is an explosion of good cheer.

Here, you can stroll among the stalls, taste specialties prepared with passion, chat with artisans and chefs, and enjoy a warm and festive atmosphere. A full weekend to meet people, discover, and savor the best of the Landes region in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. In short, an event where pleasure awaits around every corner… and with every bite!
