This film is all about perseverance and humor! On this day, we will serve you a mix of Dutch and sporty snacks: simple, savory, and prepared with love. Just like in the film, it’s all about taste and enjoying things together. Be inspired by the Rotterdam mentality of De Marathon.
The Marathon (2012) is a heartwarming comedy about four friends who are in danger of losing their garage. When their debts pile up, they decide to run the Rotterdam Marathon to raise sponsorship money. This film is full of humor, setbacks, and unforgettable moments, but above all, they discover the power of friendship.
The film is in Dutch.
What you see, is what you eat. During *The Marathon*, you eat exactly what is being eaten in the film at that moment. The culinary script by Cinema Culinair determines the timing for our chef and service staff.
Good movie + good food + great timing. That last bit makes all the difference. For example: if, after a night out in Amsterdam that got a little out of hand, your friends are eating their shawarma at around 53 minutes and 21 seconds, you’ll be served the same dish. Not too early, not too late, but right on time. That way, you’ll experience *The Marathon* not only with your eyes and ears, but also with your taste buds.
1
Arrive on time and soak up the atmosphere. Not a cinema, not a restaurant, but an urban or classic ballroom with high ceilings, film screens, and long tables. First: buy a bottle of wine to enjoy with the film. Or something else delicious.
2
At the table, you’ll be told how it works. Seven carefully prepared dishes are served, perfectly timed with the film. There is a break halfway the movie. As soon as the movie starts, the first dishes appear in front of you, quickly and efficiently. Then it’s time to countdown…. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and taste. Together all at once.
3
You eat exactly the same food as the actors in the movie. Down to the second. This allows you to experience the movie with all your senses. It doesn’t get any more immersive than this. See, hear, smell, taste, and feel. It’s as if you were sitting at the table with the actors.
These are the dishes from the movies that you eat on the second flush with the movie.
Upon arrival, a platter of Dutch delicacies such as deviled eggs, sausage with pickles, and cheese cubes will be served.

Generously filled Turkish pizza with grilled vegetables, feta cheese, and homemade garlic sauce (vegetarian)
Turkish pizza is completely vegetarian.
A Dutch pastry that is both sweet and nostalgic, consisting of a soft cake filling covered with a layer of creamy buttercream. Topped with a thin layer of marzipan and dipped in dark chocolate at both ends, giving it a delicious, crunchy bite.<br>In the context of the film, the mergpijpje plays a symbolic role. It is not only a treat, but also represents Dutch conviviality and the camaraderie between the main characters. The way they interact with food, humor, and each other reflects their simple but warm lifestyle.
Just what you need after a night out with friends. It consists of a warm, crispy bun filled with juicy, seasoned pieces of vegan kebab, fresh lettuce, tomato, and a generous dollop of homemade garlic sauce. It is devoured greedily by the characters and reflects the uncomplicated, no-nonsense atmosphere of the film. Just like the story itself: simple, hearty, and straight from the heart.
Heartwarming classic, just like in the movie: a little messy, but irresistible.
