France Vs the World is a brilliant themed food event coming to Manchester on Thursday 13 August 2026, where you'll get to experience French cuisine going head-to-head with international flavours. It's a cracking night out if you're into good food and a bit of friendly culinary competition – perfect for foodies wanting something different from your usual Manchester dining scene. At £30 per person, it's proper value for an evening of tasting and entertainment.
Wandering Palate in Monton is one of Manchester's standout independent venues, known for hosting creative supper clubs and unique food experiences that go well beyond standard restaurant fare. The spot has built a real reputation for bringing people together over seriously good food, and the intimate setting makes these themed events feel special and personal rather than stuffy or touristy. It's exactly the kind of neighbourhood gem that makes Greater Manchester's food scene so vibrant.
The event kicks off at half six, so aim to arrive a bit early to soak in the atmosphere and grab a drink before things get going. It's 18+ only, so leave the kids at home and bring your mates for what promises to be a lively evening. Head to Wandering Palate's website or social media to book your spot now, as themed nights like this tend to fill up quickly in Manchester.
