Among my favorites are "Eat Drink, Man Woman" and "Tampopo," which is 
my favorite - i've seen it 3 times.

"Like Water for Chocolate" is lovely and touching; if you haven't 
seen it, i recommend it.

I thought "Babette's Feast" was boring, but maybe it was just the 
mood i was in.

For "interesting" restaurant scenes, there's "The Cook, the Thief, 
his Wife, and her Lover" by Peter Greenaway (one of my favorite 
directors)

And don't forget that black 1973 French comedy, "La Grande Bouffe", 
in which 4 depressed middle-aged men - Marcello Mastroianni, Philippe 
Noiret, Michel Piccoli, and Ugo Tognazzi - rent a villa and proceed 
to eat themselves to death each in a different way.

And there's always "Eating Raoul"...

Also in this vein, although not fiction, are films by the great 
documentary maker, Les Blank:

Yum, Yum, Yum
- - a half-hour on Cajun cooking, with plenty of tasty music

Garlic is as Good as Ten Mothers
- - feature length on several different chefs' love for garlic

Although food is not central, if you like Cajun and Zydeco music, 
he's got a great full length film called "J'ai Eté au Bal" (i think 
in English it's called "I Went to the Dance")

And there's always his film "In Heaven There Is No Beer", on Polka 
music - gotta love them accordions - not much food content, but 
there's beer, right?
