Celebrate CineMAS with a playful cartoon-inspired dinner, themed drinks, gifts, and exclusive movie screenings
Forget everything you know about dinner and a movie — Taparelle, Dine-W/Me, and CineMAS have teamed up to create something truly magical at Manarat Al Saadiyat this June.
Running alongside the indie film festival that’s rewriting cinema’s rules, Taparelle’s Le Cartoon dinner series runs till 1 June and invites you to relive childhood favourites like Coraline, Ponyo, and A Goofy Movie — not on screen, but on your plate.
Imagine a playful three-course French-Italian menu paired with a themed drink, designed to capture the fun, whimsy, and nostalgia of those iconic animated films.

And because this is CineMAS — a festival bursting with bold stories and raw emotion — your experience includes surprise gifts from Unbox-W/Me plus complimentary access to the day’s CineMAS screenings. It’s a feast for all the senses!
CineMAS 2025 isn’t your typical film festival. It’s an indie cinema playground where every day has a theme, showcasing films that challenge, provoke, and stick with you long after the credits roll.
From raw emotional dramas to climate crisis calls and identity explorations, the festival is as much about conversation and connection as it is about the movies.
With only 15 seats per dinner slot (7pm to 11. 5pm), it’s an intimate experience designed for food lovers and film buffs alike.
Tickets are AED 200 per person, and booking ahead is a must.
So why not double down on the magic? Dive into Le Cartoon’s nostalgic menu, sip a drink inspired by your favourite animated characters, then stay for films that push boundaries and ignite minds. This is CineMAS at its best — unexpected, thoughtful, and unforgettable.
Check out the full menu on Dine-w/ Taparelle and get ready to eat, drink, and watch like never before.
