Buttery popcorn, Reese’s pieces and salty soft pretzels dripping in cheese — nothing beats movie theater food.

Except, sometimes, the food in the movie itself.

Imagine the Turkish delight from The Chronicles of Narnia, or the creamy hot chocolate Tom Hanks served on The Polar Express. And, never forget — of course — the cheeseburger that was sexier than every character in The Menu (sorry Anya Taylor Joy).

This year, however, prior cinematic treats were put to shame by ultimate French foodie flick The Taste of Things. Having premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, the movie (which revolves around two older cooks falling in love) is packed with more decadent food shots than a Joey Chestnut Youtube video.

Watch it, and we guarantee you’ll lose interest in your ICEEs and Raisinets.

And, if you’re already in that boat? Read on. Here’s where you can get The Taste of Things dishes in and around New Jersey.

Vol-au-Vent; Le Coucou, Manhattan

Le Coucou photos

Undeniably the most visually appealing dish in the film, our mouths were drooling waterfalls when chef Eugenie cut slices from this massive seafood-puff pastry creation. Featuring a golden-brown crust around a filling of cream sauce and various shellfish, it looked like a bread bowl, pot pie and crawfish étoufée had a baby — and we’re totally into that.

Called vol-au-vent, the entrée is an old-world French staple. Unfortunately, however, time has done it dirty, as it’s now nearly impossible to find. Luckily for America’s northeast, though, Manhattan boasts a few versions, such as the veal and lobster rendition at Le Coucou.

Sure, it’s in New York (and costs over $40 for a lunch portion), but if you felt the same way we did when the one in the film crisped and crackled at the touch of a knife? We know you’d drive for it.

Baked Alaska; Basilico, Millburn

Warm meringue on the outside, cool ice cream on the inside — there’s nothing quite like a baked Alaska. With contrasting temperatures and varying textures, the sweet dessert is truly special to the tongue.

And, perhaps, that’s why Pauline “nearly cried” when she ate it in the movie (or so she said; we weren’t totally convinced).

Locally, we recommend getting this dish at Basilico in Millburn. Individually portioned with a meringue to the sky, it comes over a thick slice of pound cake, and we love that level of buttery indulgence.

Go: 324 Millburn Ave.; 973-379-7020, basilicomillburn.com.

Veal Loin; Villa Amalfi, Cliffside Park

Tender and juicy, the fresh-from-the-oven veal loin was a showstopper when it graced the screen in The Taste of Things. Though Eugenie and Dodin’s romance was cute, we were far more attracted to this hot and steamy dish.

Assuming you felt the same way, we suggest stopping in to Villa Amalfi and ordering the Lombata alla Griglia. A colossal plume de veau veal chop plated with potato, the meal will make you salivate just as much as the version that wooed the camera.

Go: 793 Palisade Ave.; 201-886-8626, villaamalfi.com.

Ortolans; definitely not America

Sorry, you can’t get these in America.

Or — apparently — in France, either (they’ve been illegal for years).

That doesn’t mean you can’t still stick your head under a napkin and eat like a savage, though. Just order some McNuggets and pretend they’re the same thing.

Go: Nope.

Oysters; The Oyster Bar at Jockey Hollow, Morristown

We like oysters any way they come, but those who were turned on by the caviar-topped shellfish in the film are definitely into the high-end, $30 per 1/2 dozen raw bar type.

For those, look no further than Jockey Hollow Bar and Kitchen — AKA, Morristown’s jaw-dropping mansion-turned-restaurant.

Inside the gorgeous converted home (which is about as aesthetically pleasing as the château in the film itself) lies four different dining concepts. Opt for dinner at The Oyster Bar, and enjoy all the ice cold, pomegranate mignonette-topped oysters your belly can handle.

Go: 110 South St.; 973-644-3180, jockeyhollowbarandkitchen.com.

Omelets; The Caldwell Diner, Caldwell

As oppose to the oysters, which were eaten as a sign of luxury, the omelets in The Taste of Things were simple, everyday meals. When Eugenie and Dodin weren’t slaving away creating the most ornate dishes to hit the screen since Ratatouille, this is what they were crushing.

In a similarly simplistic way, then, we enjoy getting our omelets at local diners. Our favorite version belongs to the cozy Caldwell Diner, as the hot, oiled grill makes them perfectly crispy around the edges.

Go: 332 Bloomfield Ave., Caldwell; 973-228-2855, thecaldwelldiner.com.
