Special Culinary Event: Taste of Amélie

Get ready for a unique experience that combines the magic of cinema with the pleasure of fine dining! On February 27, 2026, at the charming café-restaurant '44APARTMENT' in Machida, Tokyo, fans of the beloved French film Amélie will have the chance to indulge in a specially crafted menu that reflects the film’s enchanting atmosphere.

On a chilly February evening, as the crisp winter air fills the night, the warm lights of the café invite you into a world of small joys portrayed in Amélie. This cinematic masterpiece, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, tells the story of a shy dreamer named Amélie who finds joy in bringing happiness to others. As you watch her delightful journey set in the picturesque Montmartre, you will also savor a course menu that perfectly captures the essence of the film.

The event will kick off with an exquisite selection of appetizers. You'll begin your culinary adventure with a soothing soup made from local vegetables sourced from Machida, complemented by a plate of delightful prosciutto and freshly baked bread from Kogasaka Bake. Each bite will transport you, enhance your experience, and remind you of the simplicity and beauty found in everyday life.

For the main course, guests will enjoy a traditional French dish, Boeuf Bourguignon, a red wine-braised beef stew that embodies the heart of French home cooking. Slow-cooked to perfection, the beef becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender and is rich with deep flavors that unfurl beautifully on your palate. This comforting dish reflects the culinary heritage of Burgundy and is the perfect companion to a film celebrated for its picturesque and nostalgic representation of Paris.

As the film unfolds, you won't want to miss the dessert that is a visual and gustatory highlight: the scrumptious Crème Brûlée. Known for its iconic scene in the film, where Amélie cracks the caramelized top with a spoon, this dessert embodies the spirit of the movie. Each spoonful promises a creamy delight paired with a fragrant Katsuya blend coffee, enhancing the experience further and allowing you to savor the aftertaste of both the film and the meal.

Join us in this magical evening where cinema and gastronomy collide, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the world of Amélie. The screening of this timeless film will be free of charge for all participants, making it an accessible and enjoyable experience for various audiences.
