South Africa’s culinary scene is known for its vibrancy and innovation. Now, a brand new experience is taking the world of food and film by storm: Taste the Movie. This unique concept, hosted at the Hyatt House Sandton, throws open the doors to a world where the magic of cinema meets the delight of fine dining.
A Feast for the Senses
Imagine watching your favourite movie, but with a delicious twist. At Taste the Movie, every morsel you indulge in is meticulously crafted to reflect the food featured on screen. Whether it’s the iconic chocolate cake from Matilda or the heartwarming iconic onion bagel from Devil Wears Prada, the team behind Taste the Movie recreates these culinary moments with artistry and flair.
Beyond the Screen
The experience goes beyond simply replicating dishes from the film. The team takes inspiration from the movie’s themes, characters, and settings to curate a multi-course meal that tells a story on its own. Each bite becomes a brushstroke, painting a picture on your palate that complements the visuals unfolding on the screen. This immersive approach allows you to connect with the movie on a deeper level, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
A Night Out for Grown-Ups
While the whimsical world of cinema might seem perfect for children, Taste the Movie caters to a more mature audience. Due to the nature of some films and the complexity of the menus, the age restriction is set at 12 and above. This allows for a sophisticated atmosphere where adults can fully appreciate the culinary artistry alongside the cinematic storytelling.
Embarking on your Taste the Movie adventure requires a bit of planning. Bookings are made through Dineplan, ensuring a smooth and efficient reservation process. Keep an eye on their social media platforms where movie announcements are posted a month in advance. This allows you to plan your evening around a film that truly excites you.
A Sneak Peek at May’s Delights
May promises to be a month brimming with culinary and cinematic adventures at Taste the Movie. On May 4th, prepare to be whisked away to the whimsical world of Matilda. From the mischievous antics of the Wormwoods to the towering presence of Miss Trunchbull, every dish will tell a story straight from the pages of Roald Dahl’s beloved tale. A sneak peek at the menu reveals a delightful journey through childhood favourites: pancakes, TV dinners, chocolate cake, and even a touch of “Cherroios Magic” – all reimagined with a touch of culinary artistry.
Later in May, celebrate Mom with a heartwarming screening of Mamma Mia! Experience the joy of ABBA’s music alongside a menu that captures the essence of the Greek Islands.

Once you’ve chosen your cinematic feast, it’s important to note their policy on cancellations and refunds. Rescheduling is not an option, so be sure you can commit to the date before booking. However, if you need to cancel, a full refund can be obtained with at least two weeks’ notice.
