  • As delicately and deliciously prepared as the dishes it features... It is a sensual feast that understands, as great chefs do, the virtues of taking its time

    • Los Angeles Times
  • Extremely well directed, making for a smartly made, delightfully acted period piece whose sensibility neatly straddles art films and the mainstream

    I was forced to watch this!

    It's true. My girlfriend and her family subjected me to this one evening. I was sceptical at first, however, I ended up loving every minute. The frustrations of the long suffering chef and his brother as they tried to keep their restaurant from going under doesn't sound like much of a story but there's so much more to it than that. Watch and enjoy!

    big night

    Found myself enjoying this slow moving film.Slow moving but quality, just like the food.Amazing how relaxed the drink drive laws were in the 50's.
