When I read the synopsis of *Délicieux* (obviously meaning delicious), I wasn't expecting much: 18th century in France, before the Revolution we follow the story of a cook starting over after getting fired. He is assisted by a mysterious woman, letting us imagine some kind a romantic relationship.
Okay, so, our average French comedy but in an historical setting. Meh, why not. Then I watched the trailer, and they got me at: beautiful shots of food. A bunch of them.
This movie is exactly was I was expecting then. A light comedy set during the Revolution with some romance, but mostly, you enjoy looking at food and cooking.
Everything is expected, besides a small story twist, I guess because the scenarist had to justify his salary, and it's great that way. It doesn't try to become more than that, and it's just enjoyable. I loved it.
One minor flaw: it would have been even better if the restaurant building phase lasted longer than the first part of doubting, which was a little too long.
