Indian and French cuisine (vegetarian option available)
The Hundred Foot Journey (Lasse Hallström, 2014) is a feel-good film that takes you to the French village of Saint-Antonin. An Indian family wants to start a restaurant there, 30 meters (100 ft) from a prestigious French star restaurant. Let’s hope it goes well. Culinary fairytale with beautiful images, catchy soundtrack (Bollywood) and the most beautiful dishes from the French and Indian kitchen. And… with Helen Mirren, so not to be missed.
This tug-of-war between Indian and French cuisine will make you hungry. The film is full of the most delicious dishes, sauces and spices. It is really a film that you have to taste, so that you can choose your favorite at the end: French or Indian cuisine.
What you see, is what you eat. At exactly the same time you eat whatever is being eaten in the film. Good film + good food + great timing. The punchline is in the latter. An example. When Madame Malory (Helen Mirren) eats an omelette at minute 67 in the film, we want our guests to taste exactly the same thing at the same time. A minute earlier or later is the difference between a good and a fan-tastic experience. It’s about not only seeing and hearing the film, but also tasting and feeling it.

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.
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.

The Power of Eating in a Diverse World Food connects. We all know that. But in an increasingly globalised world, this connection becomes extra special, especially in big cities where diverse cultures converge and mix. The following films, which we can safely label as multicultural food films, beautifully portray this fusion. They show how food […]
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.
