Gourmet Cinema 2018
This outdoor cinema pairs Melbourne's best food with critically acclaimed films.
Overview
Two of our favourite things — good food and fantastic film — are coming together at Caulfield Racecourse again for 2018. Gourmet Cinema will return for the third time on Thursday, March 1 to pair menus from some of Melbourne's top restaurants with a critically acclaimed film. So bring your picnic blankets, but leave the baskets at home.
Six of Melbourne's top-notch restaurants will feature throughout the festival — four food stalls will operate at each session, with one restaurant showcasing a menu matched to the movie on the screen.
Luke Hammond from Hotel Jesus will pair a Mexican menu with a viewing of Chef (even though the film features Cuban sandwiches), and you'll have one of Shannon Bennett's Benny burgers in your hand as you watch Top Gun. Other vendors in 2018's highly anticipated culinary lineup will include Jimmy Grants, Uncle, Hellenic Republic and Mamasita.
Gourmet Cinema will run for eight nights, from Thursday to Sunday, for two consecutive weeks. Gates open at 6pm with the film set to commence around 8.15pm. Tickets are $22.50 for adults, or you can shell out $35.50 for a reserved deck chair and blanket hire.
