"One of those instant gastronomical classics designed to be savored over and over." - Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times

In late-19th century France, renowned gourmet Dodin Bouffant (Benoît Magimel) draws guests from far and wide for sumptuous meals prepared by his personal chef Eugénie (a radiant Juliette Binoche). They share a long history of gastronomy and love but Eugénie refuses to marry Dodin, so the food lover decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her. From acclaimed director Tran Anh Hung (The Scent of Green Papaya, Norwegian Wood) comes a beautiful and touching love story that also serves up a glorious tribute to classic French cuisine.
