Using 'for' instead of 'despite'

'For all the joys of home-made food, one does still miss the humble night canteen.'

Does this sentence make sense and is it grammatically correct?

Thank you.

Yes. My dictionary has 'homemade', as one word with no hyphen. I'd consider adding a hyphen to 'night-canteen'.
