At this pop-up event, diners will be watching The Grand Budapest Hotel, the multi-award-winning movie directed by Wes Anderson. Cinephiles will know this classic as the story of Monsieur Gustave, the head concierge of a popular European hotel, as told by Zero, the hotel’s lobby boy.

As your eyes feast on the tale unfolding before you, you’ll also be served 7 courses (from $118/pax) inspired by actual scenes from the movie. This includes apple-roasted chicken – an homage to the painting Boy With Apple, Monsieur Gustave’s inheritance from a former hotel guest.

You’ll even get to DIY your own choux pastry tower for dessert as a way to commemorate Mendl’s, a pastry shop that features prominently within the film.
