Looking back on the biggest Fooding & Music Festival

Good Food Good Mood in Hossegor: the plancha in the spotlight

13 duos in competition, DJ Greem live, and top chefs: Good Food Good Mood 2025 set JoJoe Hossegor ablaze around the Le Marquier planchas. A spicy, festive and unforgettable edition: South-West cuisine in the spotlight, in the Le Marquier spirit...

On the Atlantic coast, between pine forest and waves, the JoJoe venue in Hossegor hosted a unique culinary event this year in which local produce, local cuisine and the pleasure of eating together were in the spotlight. For several days, restaurateurs, chefs and enthusiasts shared their passion for simple, generous and accessible cooking.

Good Food Good Mood means tastings, demonstrations, fresh seasonal produce, authentic recipes — a true celebration of the table. The event brought together the curious and fine gourmets alike, in an atmosphere true to the South-West way of life.

Outdoor cooking, happiness to share

At home, on a terrace or during Good Food Good Mood, Le Marquier invites everyone to gather around generous dishes, grilled or seared on the plancha. Natural, direct cooking that has been able to enhance fish, vegetables and meat without ever altering them.

The ranges of kitchens, planchas and barbecues from Le Marquier presented at the Festival won over passionate amateurs and professionals looking for performance and aesthetics alike, in particular the limited edition of the HOSSEGOR PLANCHA.

Saturday under high tension

Saturday, in the heart of JoJoe's vibrant and relaxed setting, was the highlight of the event with the long-awaited World Plancha Championship. This culinary gathering saw 13 teams compete in duos on Le Marquier planchas in a festive and competitive atmosphere. Talents from Belgium, Italy and all over France competed in creativity to win over the jury and the public.

Throughout the day, visitors watched live cooking demonstrations led by renowned chefs:

Merouan, Julien Serri, Alessandro Belmondo, Carlos Bear, Philippe Mesuron, Chef Mathé and Philippe Escaich shared their techniques and recipes for plancha cooking.

A particularly strong moment: while chef Alessandro Belmondo gave his demonstration, DJ Greem was mixing live right next to him, creating a unique atmosphere where mouth-watering aromas mingled with electro beats. An unprecedented sensory performance, true to the Good Food Good Mood spirit.

The evening continued in this festive and warm atmosphere, under the pines and the lights of the JoJoe venue.

Five–nil...

After a festive night celebrating PSG's star, on Sunday JoJoe Hossegor turned into a haven of relaxation. In a gentler atmosphere, visitors could enjoy a selection of food trucks set up on the site, serving inventive, local and tasty street food.

This last day was a chance to enjoy a simple, convivial moment with friends or family, in a gourmet setting with workshops led by Chef Carlos, Chef Mathe and the Philippes!

Thank you to everyone who came to this first edition, and see you next year!
