In addition to the various dishes, drinks, and especially wine, play the biggest role in this film. During Miles and Jack’s tour of the vineyards, they taste many types of wines. From champagne to rosé and from sauvignon blanc to merlot, it all passes by!
Sideways (Alexander Payne, 2004) is about two friends, Miles and Jack. Even though the film is about two friends, the story is told from Miles’ perspective. Miles is an English teacher and has been trying to start a career as a writer for years. He is depressed because his marriage ended in divorce. Jack, on the other hand, is about to get married but wants to score with other women before then. The two men, who are clearly going through a midlife crisis, are taking a road trip through California’s vineyards, sampling all kinds of different wines.
The film is English spoken and Dutch subtitled.
What you see, is what you eat. At exactly the same time, you eat whatever is eaten in the film. Cinema Culinair’s culinary script guides the cook and the service.
Good movie + good food + great timing. The punch line is in the latter. An example. When the scrambled eggs and tuna salad are eaten at 14 minutes and 55 seconds into the film, we want our guests to be able to taste this dish at the same time. A minute earlier or later makes the difference between good and fantastic! Ultimately, it’s not just about seeing or hearing the film, but also tasting and feeling it.
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.
Chocolate and vanilla cake
Toasted bread with scrambled eggs, tomato and lamb's lettuce
”When are we drinking..? Now!”
”I am NOT drinking any f*cking Merlot!”
Cheese with fig bread, grapes and olives
Spareribs with potato salad cornbread
Vegan: Smoked eggplant with BBQ sauce

Some movies you don’t just want to see, you want to taste! This is one of those movies. When you see the protagonists enjoying all the goodies in the film, you want to taste along. And so you can, with Cinema Culinary. Sometimes a dish is portrayed fairly briefly, but very often you see the preparation, the mouthful and the aftertaste. That really is the ultimate. We want you to experience this film like never before. So: smell, taste and feel what you see on the screen. As if you were there, on the film set. It doesn’t get more immersive than this.
At Cinema Culinair, it’s all about unique film and dining experiences, and that’s reflected in the smiles of our guests. Curious about more reviews? Curious about more experiences? Check out our Google Reviews!

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!

Movie with dinner
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.
