By now, we are all used to crazy visual effects in modern movies. It seems that the filmmakers can deliver almost anything they want to the audience, except for taste and smell. While we cannot actually smell anything in the movie, the most talented directors make us feel the taste of food simply from looking at pictures. Movies about restaurants and cuisine are the best choice for every food enthusiast. There are many of them, and you can choose the one of your liking, whether you enjoy animated pictures, historical movies, or documentaries.

There are so many movies that show amazing cooking masterpieces that it is hard to enlist all of them. We have tried to gather the most mouthwatering films ever created. After them, you will not be able to resist going to a restaurant or cooking something tasty yourself.

This animated movie is full of magnificent dishes. The very title of the cartoon attracts the attention of all food connoisseurs. The whole film is set in a restaurant and shows the life behind the closed doors of the kitchen. This picture shows that cooking can be anyone’s calling. The main and the most talented “chef” of Ratatouille is Remy. And he is a rat who can cook better than people. Remy has a keen sense of smell that helps him create the most amazing dishes.

If you always wanted to see what happens in the kitchen of your favorite restaurant, this is the best chance to combine the fulfillment of your wish with one and a half hours of the beautiful picture. Just try to keep in mind that rats can be chefs only in movies and are a bad sign in a real kitchen.

This is the best entertainment for the whole family. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the haute cuisine will not leave you indifferent.

Another movie about restaurants and the most classy dishes is Haute Cuisine. Soft pastel colors of the movie are complimented with colorful masterpieces on the plates. The experts will show you the busy life of chefs and its wonderful details. In this movie, you will cook, taste, and serve the most versatile dishes with the main characters. Most of their recipes are so unique that you probably have never even heard of them—from snacks with black truffles to amazing desserts.

The whole movie is concentrated on food and the ways to enjoy it. The main character is a known chef who has been invited to work as apersonal cook of the President. She constantly tries to outdo herself and creates more and more recipes that will make your mouth water. The light atmosphere of France, the country with one of the richest cuisines, and the funny mood of the characters will please your inner aesthete.

Specially for all the fans of sweets, our list includes this amazing movie with tons of them. As you can see from the title, the movie involves a lot of chocolate. The film shows us a poor boy who gets the chance of his life—to visit the most glorious chocolate factory. And it does not disappoint neither the boy nor us. Lots of sweets, milk rivers, and trees that can be eaten are a dream of every child.

At Willy Wonka’s factory you can see how the chocolates are made and what can happen if you like sweets too much. A pleasurable bonus of the movie is the amazing acting of Johnny Depp, whose portrayal of Willy Wonka is entertaining and spectacular. The movie is an adaptation of the classic children story and, like all of them, it teaches us a lesson. Be careful with sweets and do not be greedy.

At first sight, this is a serious historical movie about the life of one of the most famous personalities in the French history, Marie Antoinette. Yes, the movie shows the life and struggles of this woman, but her passion for sweets makes it even better. There are so many various kinds of pastry in the movie that it is impossible not to want to try some of them yourself. There are many balls and simple social gatherings that the queen attends. And where she goes, her pastries go with her. The variety of sweets is amazing. Highborn members of the court constantly eat cakes, candy, some XVIII century analogs of muffins, puddings, etc.

What can be more beautiful and educative than a documentary movie about food? If you thought that you knew a lot about cooking, prepare to be surprised. Spinning Plates follows three unique restaurants with the best chefs. People go there for entertainment, to see and try something new.

This documentary shows us the whole beauty and development of cooking. The food is not a simple means to keep your organism functioning. It is art, it is a craft, and it is science. This is a trip to the magical world where every customer is treated like a dear guest, where every dish is a piece of art, where every cook puts the heart into his dish. If you have a passion for food and you are creative, you will draw so many ideas from these people. Besides, this is a movie about real-life restaurants, so you can see what they serve and how they work. In the end, you will not be able to resist the urge to visit them.

Do the words “risotto” and “pasta” mean anything to you? If you love Italian cuisine, then you will be pleased to watch a movie about two Italian brothers who move to America and open their own restaurant. Special family recipes of the immigrants become well received by the clients only after a certain period of confusion. At first, some clients do not understand how spaghetti can be without meatballs or that you cannot combine it with rice.

In their attempt to compromise between haute cuisine and profit, the brothers have to create new recipes and sometimes combine the incompatible. The simple scene showing a chef cooking an omelet for a couple of minutes makes you hungry. The more complicated the dish is, the more you want it.

Let us leave the wonderful European food culture for a while and pay attention to the East. The Ramen Girl tells a story of how simple but tasty ramen can change your life. An American girl comes to Tokyo and tastes their best noodle soup. In her attempts to cook it herself, the girl must go through serious training and learn the secrets of the best ramen in all Tokyo.

The movie is funny and light. It makes you crave something as simple as noodles and think of the dish as the tastiest food in the whole world.

Another mouth-watering documentary is called Jiro Dreams of Sushi. The movie shows us the life of the most famous sushi chef in the world, Jiro Ono. The man is very devoted to his craft. His whole attitude to work is awe-aspiring. Jiro Ono pursues perfection. And he often becomes fully engulfed in his attempts to create a new dish that will be perfect in every way. This documentary will enrich your knowledge of Japanese cuisine and show you many kinds of sushi.
