Old school American diner
Grease (Kleiser, 1978) is the ultimate feel-good musical full of hairspray, hot rods, and heartbreak. In the summer of 1959, Danny and Sandy experience a sizzling summer romance—but everything changes when they unexpectedly meet again at Rydell High School. While Danny tries to maintain his tough image and Sandy searches for her place among the Pink Ladies, the story unfolds in swinging songs, dance scenes, and unforgettable style. With classics such as “Summer Nights,” “Greased Lightnin’,” and “You’re the One That I Want,” Grease is an explosion of nostalgia, energy, and romance. A timeless film about love, identity, and the magic of music. English spoken, Dutch subtitles.
“This one’s got flavor, baby!”
This movie night is all about food that makes you happy. We’ll serve you a swinging mix of American classics, completely in the American style of the 1950s. Think comfort food that could have come straight from the Rydell High school cafeteria or a real diner along Route 66.
From juicy smashburgers to sweet cake rolls à la Twinkie, and of course a thick cotton candy to go with it. Everything lovingly prepared by our own rock ‘n’ roll chef Anja. Just like in the movie, you can taste the atmosphere, the fun, and above all: the flavor!









“What you see is what you eat!”
Cinema Culinair is all about perfect timing. While you sing along to You’re the One That I Want or dream away with Danny & Sandy, something special happens: just when they’re eating in the movie, you get the same dish in front of you.
The culinary script is timed down to the second. No fast food pace, but dinner-worthy precision. If at 1 hour, 14 minutes, and 53 seconds someone takes a bite of a juicy smash burger or a lick of a sundae, you’ll taste the same thing—at exactly that moment.
That’s the real Grease experience: you see it, you hear it, and most importantly—you taste it.
Good film + good food + great timing = Greased Lightning!
1
Come on time and get a taste of the atmosphere. No cinema, no restaurant, but an urban or classic ballroom with high ceilings, movie screens and long tables. But first: buy a bottle of wine to accompany 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 as the actors in the movie. Right down to the second. So you experience the film with all your senses: see, hear, smell, taste and feel. It couldn’t be more intense. see, hear, smell, taste and feel. 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.
Classic salted popcorn just like you'd expect at the movies. Freshly popped, crispy, and irresistible.
Aluminum-wrapped delight<br>Pastrami sandwich on crispy sourdough bread with mustard and pickles
Vegan option: smoked celeriac with fresh coleslaw on rustic bread
A slice of pizza with spicy salami, served just like on the corner in Brooklyn.
Vegan option: four cheese pizza
Cake rolled up with light whipped cream filling, a nod to Twinkies and marathon snacks from the past.
A colorful ice cream sundae with multiple flavors such as pistachio with cherries on top.
A juicy hamburger served with crispy fries, All-American diner style.
A plant-based burger from Beyond Meat replaces the meat.
Fruit punch, cheerful pink and a little rebellious.
It is alcohol-free.
Mini foam cakes/cupcakes on a saucer: throw them at your teachers or just pop them in your mouth. Light, airy, and deliciously naughty.
It is not possible to take allergens into account. If you can’t have something, skip this dish. Also consider the all-vegetarian menu. There are two choices: all dishes as in the movie. Or: fully vegetarian. Changing a dish is not possible.

Great night out
Great night out, so nice that combination of film and food at the same time as in the film, streamlined service and delicious snacks.
Sandra MelisHad a great evening
Had a great evening; eating the dish shown on the movie screen greatly enhances your movie experience! Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, highly recommended!
Miriam SchumackerVery nice and tasty experience
Very fun and delicious experience. At the same time with the main character himself live tasting what is eaten in the movie, who wouldn't want that? With your date, with friends, as a family outing - this is a top experience! Be quick though because tickets always sell out quickly.
Heleen VTSSpecial evening out
Special evening out: watching a movie and eating what you see. Super fun and it was so tasty!! Delicious food and fantastic to experience, I will definitely go again!
Tanja MolewijkEat what you see is brilliant...
Rutger and his team have developed this concept into a beautiful experience! The romantic idea is correct. Long tables, good atmosphere, good conversations and good food. It's amazing how good quality food it is to serve so many people at the same time. And let's face it, eat what you see is brilliant...
Arjen de BruinI'm a big fan!
Super fun concept where you watch film and are served dishes during the film that are also eaten at the same time in the film. I'm a big fan!
Tjandra, 2024Perfect Combination of Film, Drinks and Conviviality!
The boozy brunch at Sideways was a huge success! The atmospheric location, perfect timing of the drinks and delicious snacks made it extra fun. Super fun, with those drinks included! Fitted perfectly with this film, of course; we were given lots of goodies to taste and we had a great time!
Ellen, 2024This is an experience you really need to experience
This is an experience you really have to experience. The chocolate presented with the film Chocolat was really brilliant. The whole entourage is cool.
Desirée, 2024Delicious Food, Great Atmosphere and Immediately Fancy Next Time!
Hugely enjoyable experience. Nice food, positive atmosphere and very nice staff. 2nd time I've gone, this time taking my parents with me and they also immediately check when the next show is that we will visit.
Madelief, 2024We will definitely come back again!
Had a great night out at Cinema Culinair! A very fun and original concept that was executed very well. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cosy and the film ‘The Menu’ fitted in perfectly. We will definitely come back again!
Myra, 2024Perfect concept for a night out.
Perfect concept for an evening out. The food is also excellent for vegetarians. Partly because of the friendly service, the small scale and beautiful location (Tolhuis Amsterdam), there is a pleasant atmosphere.
Claudia, 2024Cinema Culinary Makes Movie Dinners Exciting
Some films literally make your mouth water, and I am not talking about handsome actors, but the delicious food that passes by on screen.
Bye Bye BankhangenFood and cinema... combined!

Guilleaume, 2024What an experience. Eating = coming together
What an experience. Eating = coming together, that is very clear here. The atmosphere is so cozy, respectful, nice. Chocolat is highly recommended for a filling brunch, and this experience tastes like more. Finally, respect for the great service and reception! 3
Doortje, 2024This is highly recommended!
This is a truly unique experience that you must experience! We went for the film Ratatouille. Despite having seen this one many times before, this was a completely different experience. If you are looking for a unique gift or fun date night, this is highly recommended!
Iris, 2024Such a fun and new experience!
Such a fun and new experience! Delicious food, wines and incredibly cozy brunch this way. Nice atmosphere and really nice as a gift, date or just nice day out!
Eveline, 2024Enjoyed the food, atmosphere and the movie of course!
This is a great night out. Cinema and dinner? Why not at the same time and eat with the movie characters. Chef and Ratatouille attended both nights enjoyed the food, atmosphere and the movie of course!
Gerben, 2024Super fun experience!
Been to cinema culinair for the 2nd time now. Super fun experience! Perfect combination of 2 of my favorite things, food and movies! Definitely going there again.
Robyn, 2024What an A-MA-ZING evening
What an A-MA-ZING evening this was, the slogan “what you see is what you eat” really comes true. Without giving too much away, you really have to experience this yourself, this is a real must do/see.
Petra, 2024Multidimensional experience!
See what you eat and eat what you see, all in a great atmospheric location. Highly recommended!
Gijs, 2024The whole experience is fantastic!!! An experience that really needs to be experienced. A good feel-good movie and fantastic food. We watched the movie Chef and ooh.... the gumbo.... I could write an ode to the gumbo. It can seriously cure depression!!!

Movie with brunch
At Secret Cinema, you are invited to a brunch that is anything but ordinary. You don't know in advance what you will see or taste, but you can count on an imaginative menu that is sometimes sweet, sometimes naughty, and always surprising. Think of flavors that take you back to your childhood, moments when you wonder what else is to come, and a film that perfectly complements this playful culinary journey. A brunch full of fun, wonder, and a touch of magic—but the rest remains a closely guarded secret.
