In 1789, a brilliant cook (Grégory Gadebois) is fired by his master, the Duke of Chamfort (Benjamin Lavernhe), and retreats to a stagecoach stop where his father lives; he’s joined by a woman (Isabelle Carré) who wants to learn the art of fine cuisine.

How did the first restaurant come about? Well, this movie does not tell you the true story of that, but it does have the ambition to tie the sentiments of the French Revolution to the idea of creating places where people of all classes could gather for a nice meal.

Delicious follows its recipe closely and offers lovely rural environs, tasty dishes and a pleasant story.
