RATATOUILLE 2 (2025)

Plot Summary

In Ratatouille 2, Remy is now the head culinary advisor at the world-renowned La Vie, a restaurant that has redefined gourmet dining across Europe. Working quietly behind the scenes through his longtime human partner Linguini, Remy helps lead a team of chefs who know nothing of the true genius guiding their creations.

But success comes at a cost. A high-tech corporate food empire called GustoTech, led by the son of Anton Ego’s rival critic, threatens to wipe out traditional cooking with AI-driven kitchens and synthetic ingredients. When La Vie’s Michelin stars are jeopardized, Remy must step back into the spotlight—and this time, go public.

Faced with exposure, backlash, and the fear of rats returning to kitchens, Remy is forced to ask: can a rat truly belong in the culinary world—or is the dream he once fought for already lost?
