Answer

In English, we often use the French word "gourmand" to describe someone like that.

Answer

I should also add "gourmet" and "epicure". "Gourmet" might be more commonly used than "gourmand"; "epicure" less so.

Answer

As a slang word, people will describe someone as a "foodie", but I think that refers more to someone who is kind of obsessed with food, not just someone who enjoys eating and eating good food.
