Délicieux is the story of France’s first-ever restaurant.
The prestige of a noble house depends above all on the quality of its table. At the dawn of the French Revolution, gastronomy still is a prerogative of the aristocrats.
When talented cooker Manceron is dismissed by the Duke of Chamfort, he loses the taste for cooking. Back in his country house, his meeting with the mysterious Louise gets him back on his feet. While they both feed a desire of revenge against the Duke, they decide to create the very first restaurant in France.
"It is such a glorious premise for a film, and Besnard manages to make it as tasty a confection as Manceron’s carefully baked and decorated desserts. Comfort films are as much a phenomenon as comfort foods, and Délicieux is a warm, hugely enjoyable confection indeed." - FictionMachine.com
