Director: Manon Briand
A pastry counter, a stubborn recipe, and a girl who refuses to lose: "Tous toques" turns a kitchen contest into the whole engine of its plot.
What is Tous toques about?
A seasoned chef finds himself pulled off his usual line of work and into an unlikely partnership with a determined young girl chasing a spot in a culinary competition. What starts as a reluctant favor becomes a crash course in patience for both of them, as she pushes back on his shortcuts and he pushes back on her impatience. Kitchens in the film are loud, cramped, and full of ticking clocks, and the pairing plays out over shared prep stations, burnt batches, and the occasional small triumph that keeps them going. Manon Briand builds the story around the rhythm of practice rather than a single big reveal, letting the competition arc double as a portrait of two very different people learning to trust one another's instincts under pressure.
Cast & crew
Julie Le Breton and Edouard Baer anchor the film alongside Martin Gauthier, with the young girl's culinary ambition giving the ensemble a clear throughline to follow scene to scene.
Context & significance
Director Manon Briand sets "Tous toques" in 2024 as a Canadian comedy, leaning on food-competition beats that will feel familiar to fans of kitchen dramas while keeping its cast and setting distinctly local. The 112-minute runtime gives the mentorship story room to breathe, moving from early friction between the two leads to a shared stake in the competition's outcome without rushing either side of that relationship. It's a lighter entry for viewers who want comedy grounded in a specific craft rather than broad slapstick.
