Philippe Etchebest travels to La Chapelle-Launay, a small town in the Loire-Atlantique region of France. He's answering a very special call: a 12-year-old boy, Gabriel, has asked him to come and save his father Raphaël's restaurant. Raphaël has owned a roadside restaurant for the past 5 years, but business has been going badly for the past few months. Customers are deserting the restaurant, and the situation is becoming worrying. The difficulties at work are spilling over into family life: young Gabriel seems very affected by seeing his father change over the weeks. Previously a bon vivant, Raphaël has become a sad man, and as far as his son is concerned, he has lost his smile and no longer has the energy to share moments with him. Yet the young boy has only one dream: to be reunited with his old dad. Extremely touched by the young teenager's confidences, chef Philippe Etchebest will try to save the restaurant, but he's not out of surprises...
