Gourmet Cinema

The only outdoor cinema where the menu is matched to the movie.

Overview

Two of our favourite things — good food and fantastic film — are coming together at Caulfield Racecourse in March. For five consecutive nights starting on Wednesday, March 2, five of Melbourne's top restaurants will serve up a mouth-watering menu, each specially paired with a critically-acclaimed film. Bring your picnic blankets, but leave the baskets at home – at Gourmet Cinema, dinner is taken care of.

Each film on the program has been matched to a corresponding restaurant. The Grand Budapest Hotel should go quite nicely with high-end European cuisine from Epocha, while The Big Lebowski seems better paired with Le Bon Ton's Southern-style brisket. Take a decadent trip around Rome in The Great Beauty while munching on pizza from Baby, watch Jon Favreau cook up a storm in Chef with a feast from Mamasita, or journey back to the Belle Epoque with Midnight in Paris as you eat French fare from The European.

While each restaurant will present a specific screening, you don't have to worry about picking your favourite, since all five will be operating stalls throughout the entire five-night season. You'll also be able to purchase coffee from St Ali and sweet treats courtesy of LuxBite.

Picnic rugs and deck chairs will be available to hire on the night, although patrons are also welcome to bring their own blankets it they prefer. Gates open at 6pm with screenings set to commence at 8.30pm. Tickets are $19.50 (plus booking fee) for adults, and don't include food. You'll have to purchase that separately.
