The Menu – What we know so far

“The Menu” follows a young couple Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Tyler (Nicholas Hoult) who, at Tyler’s urging, attend a very expensive dinner at Hawthorn, a private restaurant on a private island – only 12 guests attend one Time, priced at $1,250 each – to experience the talents of legendary chef Slowik (Ralph Fiennes), whose creations are treated more like edible art than food. However, it turns out that chef Slowik has more in store for his guests than meets the eye.

As for the tone of the film, Deadline’s Anthony D’Alessandro said, “Think ‘Midsommar,’ but on [a] Great haute restaurant out of nowhere. Like the kind you see on Netflix’s “Chef’s Table.” That’s the conceit of Searchlight’s wildly black humor ‘The Menu’. “, he said. “They are all so different. So that was very rewarding.”
