In pre-Revolutionary France, gastronomy is the domain of aristocrats and their prestige depends on the quality of their table. When he’s dismissed from his job, talented cook Manceron (Grégory Gadebois) swears off his passion until a mysterious woman (Isabelle Carré) helps him create France’s first restaurant. A wildly enjoyable tale of reignited passion, mentorship and revenge.
