When Louie's father passes away, he hands down their family legacy: Le Classique,|a famous restaurant in Paris established in 1877 by Louie's great-grandfather.
But Louie is still a young man. He's not ready to manage|the family restaurant and maintain its reputation.
Overwhelmed and confused, Louie attempts to cook Le Classique's signature|dishes with the help of his girlfriend, Emma. Unfortunately, they fail miserably,|over and over again.
One afternoon, Louie sits alone in his house, feeling depressed and exhausted,|when he notices a rat holding a carrot. Why would a rat want a carrot?
Too tired to worry about it, Louie falls asleep. In his muddled dreams, the rat|tells him about a secret recipe for a perfect dish. The recipe is in a book hidden|in the attic, on an old bookshelf beside the fireplace.
When Louie wakes up, he heads to the attic. He can't believe his dream,|but he desperately wants it to be true. To his shock, the rat is waiting for|him on the bookshelf! And there is indeed an old and dusty book.
The book is titled "Cook from the Heart", and the back cover says,|"For my beloved son". Louie opens it. To his amazement, it really|contains the secret recipes!
The next day, he tries one of the secret recipes and serves it to some of his old|customers. And... voila! They love it! At last, Louie's cooking is a success.
However, Louie has a long journey ahead. He'll need|plenty of practice to perfect his cooking skills.
What's more, his father intended to expand their restaurant chain.|A year before his death, he ordered Louie to make Le Classique|an international franchise.
Can Louie fulfill his father's wishes and make their dreams come true?
