Culinary delights in  Het Tolhuis

Cinema Culinair takes you to one of the most beautiful locations in Amsterdam: Het Tolhuis.

As the boats sail by, enjoy a delicious dinner, perfectly synchronised with the film you are watching. A sensory experience.

The history of Het Tolhuis

Het Tolhuis has a rich history dating back centuries. The location was once the scene of grand celebrations, the atmosphere of which is beautifully captured in the painting ‘Summer Evening on the IJ’. This painting can be admired here on location. Ever since the 17th century, this place has been a confluence of relaxation and entertainment. Today, Het Tolhuis is still easily accessible by ferry from Amsterdam Central Station.

The location, atmosphere and rich history make this place the perfect venue for a Cinema Culinair!

Le Pot-au-feu - Film & diner

Le pot au feu

Movie with dinner

With Le pot-au-feu (2023, Trần Anh Hùn, the film is also known by its title The taste of things), it is simply impossible not to feel like eating. Every scene exudes the love and craftsmanship for French classic cuisine, and the film is romance and cooking course in one. We are in Dodin's imposing mansion where he and his cook Eugénie (Juliette Binoche) prepare the most delicious dishes for friends. In the traditional kitchen without electricity and gas, turbot, vol-au-vent, pigeons and veal backs are silently prepared, all filmed like living paintings that make you long for a sweltering French summer in the country.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Movie with brunch

The Grand Budapest Hotel is a stylish adventure full of delicious food and zany humour. Concierge Gustave H. and his loyal lobby boy Zero take you through a world of rich guests, luxurious dinners and compelling mysteries. Gorgeous sets, a star-studded cast, and an ode to culinary sophistication.

Favorite of Teun

Soul Kitchen

Movie with dinner

Soul Kitchen (Fatih Akin) is a swinging and up tempo food film. Two Greek brothers struggle with their lives (women, gambling, drinking) and with their rowdy restaurant in Hamburg.

The Hundred Foot Journey

Movie with dinner

France versus India. Picturesque, romantic and culinary fireworks from the French and Indian cuisine in this Hundred Foot Journey. Beautiful images, delicious dishes and… tasting with Helen Mirren. A film that you must see, hear, smell and taste!

Estômago

Movie with dinner

One of our favorite food movies. Because of the suspense (you don't want to miss a second) and the delicious Brazilian flavor combinations. It's not for nothing that we chose this movie to make a cookbook of.
