With a title like Haute Cuisine, one can expect a high degree of gastronomic titillation. On that score, the film delivers.

"Haute Cuisine" has no grand conflict or important message or really anything much that you'll remember past dinnertime, but it has abundant charm and it leaves you hungry, which is all we ask of a food movie.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Fresh
Haute Cuisine is an epicurean dream where the dishes conjured up by the characters are as essential to the experience as the characters themselves.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

A pleasant dramedy inspired by a true story.
Adam Markovitz, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
"Haute Cuisine" is a bonbon, not of a full-course meal.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle
