Secret Cinema

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.

Good film

At Secret Cinema, one thing is certain: you will be enjoying brunch while watching a film that is worth sitting down for. Which film it will be remains a secret until the very last moment. What we can say is that it is a story full of wonder and fun, with colors, atmosphere, and flavors that are sometimes playful, sometimes sweet, and sometimes a little unexpected. During brunch, we will guide you step by step to discover where you are. You may recognize a touch of nostalgia here and there, a hint of a world where fantasy and taste come together, or a dish that is slightly different than you expected. It is precisely this combination of surprise and pleasure that makes Secret Cinema so special: a good movie, a special brunch, and a secret that is only revealed at the table.

Good food

At Secret Cinema, brunch is not just about the film, but just as much about the food. Each dish has been carefully designed to slowly get you into the right mood. Don’t expect standard brunch dishes, but flavors that are sometimes soft and sweet, sometimes slightly surprising, and occasionally bring a smile to your face because there is something playful hidden in them.
Our chef is inspired by worlds where imagination and taste go hand in hand. As a result, dishes can be colorful or very pure, sometimes almost nostalgic and sometimes unexpectedly innovative.
What you’ll get exactly remains a secret, of course, but one thing is certain: good food is always central to us. Made with care, served with pleasure, and perfectly suited to the experience that awaits you that morning.

Great timing

At Secret Cinema, it’s all about the perfect moment. Not only does the film remain a secret until the first scene begins, but the food also appears exactly when it should. Our brunch is structured so that each course is served at just the right moment. Just when the atmosphere changes, when a color stands out, or when a scene seems to call for a certain flavor.
This gives you the feeling that everything is just right, as if timing is not a coincidence but part of the story. Sometimes light, sometimes sweet, sometimes unexpected, but always at exactly the right moment. This creates a rhythm between what you see and what you taste, allowing you to immerse yourself even more in the experience without being able to pinpoint exactly why. Great timing is the silent magic that brings everything together.

How does it work?

1

Be welcomed by our host

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

Order your own drink at the bar and enjoy!

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

Take a bite at the same time with the main actor for real sensation

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.

Experience this show.

At Secret Cinema, you take your seat without knowing what to expect. You come for brunch and gradually discover that it’s more than just eating and watching. The flavors, the atmosphere, and the film seek each other out and reinforce each other without you understanding exactly how it happens.
Sometimes you taste something that brings a smile to your face, sometimes you recognize a color or a feeling that makes you curious about what follows.

It is a performance in which you will be surprised, seduced, and briefly transported to a world that you can only experience at that moment.

Let your senses do the work and enjoy a brunch that you can’t predict but will linger in your memory.

Very 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.

Eat 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...

Perfect 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!

Perfect 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.

What 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

This 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!

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!

What 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.
